Great pictures bro, not a fan of the model though cus it reminds me of the old honda city, somehow :S
But the craftsmanship looks really good and upto Autoarts usual standards.

Congrats on the add bro!

I agree those rear ligths were starting for chrome base.

Nice model Ravi. Autoart released the GS300 in its Toyota avatar, Aristo and the RX300 as the Harrier but never did the same for this car. Modelart used to sell the Lexus models for 2895 rs. but the same, ditto Toyotas albeit with RHD for 1975 rs.

Thats a lovely car!!! I like the classic touch and the straight lines. The shots are as always great.

AutoArt did make the Toyota badged version of this called the Altezza.

Hmmm...I've just realised (for the second time) that while it was called the Toyota Altezza,this car does not bear the traditional Toyota badge but some other shield shaped emblem.I remember first noticing this fact when I was in school.There was a girl in my class who came to school in a silver one everyday.Her father was with the Vietnamese Embassy (I think) and the car had consulate plates.Always got me wondering why the car didn't have the normal Toyota badge.

Aaaha.. I remember this car now.. it was covered in Overdrive all those years back and yeah, I really really liked it back then!
Thanks for the pictures mate Smile

The Altezza most definitely never made it here then. I also don't remember reading about it in other forums either.
