World's most expensive Toyota: 45-yr-old Toyota 2000GT sells for $1.2m

The world's most expensive Toyota has been sold for a staggering $1.2 million.

For the same price - around £80,000 - car enthusiasts could pick up a sleek brand new sports car like the British Aston Martin V8 Vantage.

But one buyer was more than happy to break the record for the highest amount of money ever paid for a Toyota as this left-hand drive 2000GT was dubbed Japan's first ever supercar in the 1960s.

And, unlike the company's famous advertising slogan, it's unlikely you will spot one of these in front of you as only 62 were ever built and only a handful were ever exported out of Japan.
