by Neill News

Toyota are once again showing off their combination of hybrid technology and motorsport heritage at Goodwood this year. I’m just diving out the door right now and my internet may well be a little dodgy this next few days. I don’t normally just swipe press info, but I’m out of time, so here’s a quick [...]

From Our Flickr Group – Lovely Celica GT TA23

by Neill News

Just a quick ppost to highlight this car. A lovely shot kindly added to our Flickr Group by Sevan Callians down in the south of France. A lovely Celica GT from 1977. Looking at those alloys, they look like they’re from a Toyota Celica Supra 2.8 circa 1985. Would love to know more about it…

ICON Landcruiser FJ40

by Neill Off Road & 4x4

There’s quite a long wait if you have the funds to commit to having one of these ultimate Landcruisers built, but this one is available immediately. The wealthy owner shipped it to Norway and the Canary Islands before deciding that he needed the extra space of the FJ45 – as you do… So with less [...]

Rare Toyota Crown Coupe – 1972

by Neill Feature Cars

When I first saw this Toyota Crown, I didn’t recognise it, as I’d always been under the impression that the Crown was a saloon car only design, so I was fascinated to find out more.

Located at the plant manufacturing the Auris Hybrid, the graphic below shows some interesting statistics. Not that it covers 4.3 soccer pitches, not US football pitches, for our American readers….

by Neill News

Toyota & Rebellion Racing Hit Le Mans

by Neill Motorsport

With LeMans this coming weekend, Toyota enthusiasts may be thinking that there’s no real need to pay attention, but you may recall this post last year about Toyota returning to Le Mans with an engine deal for Rebellion Racing. Toyota may not have as illustrious a name at Le Mans as Porsche perhaps, but their [...]

Lexus LF-A at Goodwood Breakfast Club

by Neill News

The first Lexus LF-A in the UK is breaking cover more frequently, being seen at the Goodwood breakfast club last weekend. I’m making no excuse for another LF-A video, I love the colour combination of this one, if I had the funds, it’s what I’d have picked. Check out the small boy at 1:03 in [...]

by Neill Toyota TV Ads

Just when we all got over saying “Bugger” at everything, here’s another Australian Hi Lux advert…. Nice to see the phrases “Sheep Shagger’ and “Fancy A Ride” in a Toyota ad…

Toyota MR2 Racing Series, Brands Hatch Crash

by Neill Motorsport

Good to hear that both drivers were OK after what could have been one of those nasty, random accidents that defies the best safety measures. Both cars manage to use the armco as a launch ramp, one clearing the fencing entirely. It just goes to show that even with the best safety measures in a [...]
