Gaz Walker Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Hi guys, 1999 (S) Black JZS161 Toyota Aristo V300 Vertex Edition In my opinion, this is one of the best vehicles Toyota ever produced. This is a very rare 1999 Astral Black Model, with Full Black Leather and Darkwood Interior. Of which it is believed they are less than 10 in the UK and no more can ever be imported such is the new rules on imports. It took me 2 years of searching to get this car and I have owned it for 18 months, the longest I've owned any car! The standard features of the vehicle are as follows: Electic Windows (One Touch Opening on All) Electric Heated and Folding Mirrors Central Door Locking Electronic Telescoping Steering Wheel Leather Steering Wheel Fully Digital Climate Control System Electric Front Seats Driver, passenger & side airbags Cruise Control 6 CD Changer Xenon HID Headlights Rear Spoiler ABS TCS (Traction Control System) VCS (Vehicle Stability Control) It is also fully optioned from Japan: Electric Moonroof (Very Big for a Sunroof!) Premium JBL Soundsystem (Very good for a stock system) Touch-screen TV in Centre Console Full Leather with Heated Seats Gold Badging for the Rear Wind deflectors fitted to all 4 windows Rear Screen and Rear Side Windows Factory Tinted (and I had the front side windows professionally tinted in the UK) The Toyota Aristo is based on the European Lexus GS300 but this model has one major difference - the Engine. In one of Toyota's finest hours they equiped this vehicle is a 3.0L Straight Six 2JZ-GTE Twin Turbo engine with the all important Variable Valve Timing with Intelligence (VVTi). This is a Supra that the whole family can enjoy (and fit in)! It car also has Drive-by-wire throttle rather than a cable system so throttle response in very precise. One feature that the electronic throttle control gives is a Power/Snow mode. Snow mode will let the car judge how much power to put down to the rear wheels in snow situations, regardless of how hard you jab the throttle pedal so that the car doesn't slip and slid around in icy conditions. Power mode is another awesome feature of this car. Pressing the button with increase the rev limit (by 200-400 revs), increase throttle pedal response and increase steering response. Last but by no means least, this model has a full F1-Style Tipronic Gearbox, that can run forever as a full automatic, but if you want to go for a blast on a country road, slip it into Manual mode and you will be fully in control of the gearchanges via the buttons on the steering wheel. Some other specifications of the car that maybe useful: Exterior dimensions (LxWxH), mm: 4805 x 1800 x 1435 Curb vehicle weight, kg: 1680 Seating capacity, persons: 5 (comfortably!) Fuel tank capacity, litre: 75 To say I am an enthusiast about the car is an understatement. I searched for over 2 years to get a Black Aristo in a condition I was happy with. The car will be sold with full Japanese history, full UK history, the original JDM sales brochure. It also has 10 months MOT and Tax. Both sets of keys and alarm fobs. Next, the modifications I've carried out on this vehicle in order to make it the ultimate MKII Aristo in the country. Engine: Power Enterprise Air Impulse VII Filter (£120) Power Enterprise Rad Hose (£75) Power Enterprise Oil Filter (£20) Blitz SBC-ID VIII (£550) Tom's Rad Cap (£30) HKS SQV (£275) Envy Downpipe & Midpipe (£300) Others: Clifford IntelliGuard 950 (£850) Remote boot release Remote lights Intellistart Exterior: 2003 Lexus IS300 Washer Jets (£30) Tom's VA300 Ltd Edition Grill (£300) 2001 Lexus GS430 Rear Lights (£200) 2001 Toyota Clear Side Repeaters (£35) Brakes: Lexus LS400 4 Pot Front Caliper Conversion (£500) DBA Gold Front and Rear Discs (£400) Black Diamond Predator Pads (£100) Goodridge Stainless Steel Lines (£100) Motul 5.1 Fluid (£20) Suspension: Tein CS (£1400) Wheels: Racing Hart CX-R 19" (9 front, 10 rear - £2100) Falken FK451 Tyres (245/35/19, 275/30/19 - £500) Interior: Origin B2 Hardwired (£400) Motorola HF850 Bluetooth Car Kit (£120) SmartNav System (Navigation, Traffic, Vehicle Tracking) (£600) Data System TV Kit (£100) Digital TV (£90) DVD Player (£50) Reverse Camera (£60) TRD Gear Knob (£80) Blitz Hybrid AC Filter (£50) Over £9000 on parts alone. Most of the modifications are for performance or purpose rather that the usual stick on rubbish. It has the best of everything fitted to it. All modifications are less than 8 months old and most are as new. This is probably the only Aristo with a converted screen, including digital TV (all 40 channels!), DVD player and rear view camera! Condition: The car is in immaculate condition for its year. Please remember this is a black car which shows every mark available, however there are no dents on the car anywhere and only a handful of minor scratches with nothing major. Couple of stonechips on the front bumper/bonnet, again nothing major. I've not painted the car so its as original as possible. As you can see an awful lot of time and money has went into this car, and it will really break my heart to sell it, but needs must as they say and I have another project to start. Pics: http://www.envyperformance.com/picasa/v300/ (some of the pictures do not show all of the modifications, for example the grill and brakes) The registration plate does not come with the vehicle. The car will be re-registered with a "S" plate. It has 73000 miles, has 9 months tax and MOT. I'm after £11495 £10495 for it. Please give me a call on my mobile if you'd like to talk about the car, or drop me an email on [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
