One of the first things I noticed in Bali were the ubiquitous Toyota Kijang minivans driving around. One small detail of the Kijang drew my attention immediately: the headlights!

Recognize them already?
Indeed: they are recycled from the Toyota Crown S120 series!

On another one I found this GTV Executive sticker:

My first impression on Yesterdays Japan Classic Sunday was that it was great! Met up with a lot of people and the cars at the meeting were amazing! A small summary of cars present: an immaculate JDM Carina TA17 coupe (more on that later this week), lowered and sticker-bombed Carina TA40, Corolla KE25KE20 with a 2TG swap, many Celica TA22/RA22ls, MR2s, many Celica Supra Mk. IIs and of course this amazingly restored Crown RS40L from 1964:

This Crown RS40L was by far the star of the meeting! Its owners (father and son) restored it back to (almost) original state in the past few years.

Apart from the front grille with all its brightworks the tail lights were are the best second best part of the Crown:

During one of my early morning cycles to work I encountered a familiar face that I saw a few months before: a Toyota Crown S110!

Toyota Crown MS110 Super Saloon
The car is a 1980 Toyota Crown Super Saloon and was delivered originally to the Netherlands. That is quite rare these days since most older cars seem to be imported from either Germany or Switzerland who have a bit less classic friendly laws nowadays.

In this case it turned out to be a Crown MS112 featuring the 2.8 liter 5M-EU engine.

Last week I posted a completely deteriorated Toyota Crown S50 2 door hardtop coupe and just to show you what it could have been I'll post up this JDM hotrod variant:

And from behind it gets even better!

Such a shame to let a late sixties Toyota Crown 2 door hardtop coupe rusting away...
