Toyota Century

The other day I came across a car that is extremely rare in Canada: the Toyota Century, which is not normally for sale in Canada at all. And this is also a right-hand drive version.

 

The Toyota Century is a top-end luxury vehicle produced mainly for the Japanese market.

 

The Century derived its name from the 100th birthday of Sakichi Toyoda (born 14 February 1867), the founder of Toyota Industries. It is often used by the Imperial House of Japan, the Prime Minister of Japan, senior Japanese government leaders, and high-level executive businessmen. The Century is comparable in purpose to the Austin Princess/Daimler DS420, Cadillac Series 70, Mercedes-Benz 600 series, Chinese Red Flag, Rolls-Royce, and Russian ZIS/ZIL limousines.
