“Immortalised in the Bond film You Only Live Twice, although that car was a unique convertible, the 2000GT coupe was a stunning machine, styled by Count Albrecht Goertz (BMW 507). Popup headlamps, aggressive driving lamps behind glass cowls and subtle curves make it a classic design. Yamaha designed the twincam engine (indeed they built the whole car). Optional Competition tuning could raise power to 200bhp. All-synchro five-speed, four-wheel discs, A-arm and coil spring independent suspension all round. Expensive and saleproof when new, now have a passionate following. Prospective owners had better try one for size.”
