Strange huh, looks pretty cool although not sure about the spoiler, seems low miles etc and my knowledge of this model isn't great so can't say about the rarity etc . . . you tempted?

I didn't think that the aristo came with the V8, the GS400 was a US export only - was clearly wrong though Blush

"chassis is shared with the Mkiv Supra" - I don't think so !

The Aristo with V8 was 4WD, wasn't it ? And this ad doesn't say anything about this, so this is a regular Aristo with an engine swap, I think.

Think it was 4wd actually so you're right.......how cool would the GS have been if it did have a supra chassis :w00t:

The MK1 Aristo came in three base variants, Q - 2JZ-GE (2WD), V - 2JZ-GTE (2WD) and the Zi Four - 1UZ-FE (4WD)

This was a genuine Zi-Four and was probably the only Zi-Four in the country. The guy decided to put a R154 in it and so loosing the 4WD.

Rear end is hideous that spoiler realllllly spoils the whole car.
