Toyota only made 2 convertible 2000GTs. They were specially made for use in a James Bond movie because Sean Connery was too tall to fit in the standard model.
On the Bristol cars, narrator can't seem to decide on pronouncing the car names correctly or otherwise. 🤨 The sad truth is no company handbuilding a small number of high quality custom cars can remain in business for long. No matter the car quality, auto companies can only make profit on mass sales.
Cool video. Some of the footage and pronunciations were a little off eg. film of a Miura when talking about the 2000GT, and "beau" is pretty much pronounced "bo", but you'd be hard pushed to find anything else about the Triumph Acclaim Avon Turbo on TH-cam. Some cool cars and the info seems to be very accurate.

@@top.intel0 sorry, not trying to start a fight. But yes, I’m referring to the chapter title in the bottom left corner. I did enjoy the article - I always wanted a Tasmin and the 412 Bristol is proof that money can’t buy taste. Cheers
"The LTD LX is a symbol of a time when American car companies were taking risks and trying new things" Shows a boring bland shitbox... *laughs in Citroen* Also, the Triumph Acclaim might be rare now, but it certainly wasn't in its days... there's a difference between a car that's only been made in very small numbers, and cars that didn't really survive times in great numbers. Okay, the Avons were really rare.
the bristol 412 is ugly , it is loaded with styling mistakes , when a stylist is into boating it inevitably affects their designs , and the two disciplines do not mix , not even close
I was going to mention that too. I guess they have something in common, they’re both the best looking cars ever produced by their respective companies.
I came here to say the same thing, they gave us 3 reasons why it didn't sell, (32) in 3 years. They could have stopped with 1, it's ugly, I mean who okayed the design?😮
Great video...just a small point on the XJ12 segment, some of the pictures used actually show the Daimler model. Jags had a plain edge radiator, whereas the Daimler had the "fluted" top to their radiators. In many ways they were essentially the same car, although the Daimlers were seen as the more luxurious vehicle.
You can make huge lists of super rare cars and be sure you still missed a bunch. As a Romanian, there are seceral Dacia cars with under 10 units ever made, like the Dacia 2000, Dacia MaxiBreak, Dacia 1320 "ax în cap", Dacia Extase,.... And that's just Romania. Cool video idea, but you could make a lot more episodes of it.
Depends which era, they went right into the 2000s. The MK1s are pretty rare because they mostly got scrapped due to fuel costs, most of the V12s averaged 6-8 miles to the gallon at the time. I remember my old metalwork teacher at school bought a pristine low mileage one in 1982 for £50, that's all people could get for them. Lesser ones ended up in the crushers, breakers yards didn't even bother pulling them apart most of the time.
True. If you study the lines Lamborghini Miura in the footage, and compare them with the Ford GT40, you may notice a remarkable similarity. True. If you study the lines of the Lamborghini Miura in this footage, and compare them with the Ford GT40, you may notice a remarkable similarity.

About couple of those cars, you've said things like - "unique, very rare, very expensive and hard to get, shown those times when car manufacturers were willing to experiment etc etc" which is a steaming pile of rubbish...Cars like Marcos M70 or that completely stupid Ford LXsomethingXTFXXXX are just cars, which are rare, because they didn't make any sense to buyl they are no unique or different, they're just plain ugly... And not even saying anything about that, that many of those stupid, idiotic cars killed many of those more obscure automakers, and that should be enough to realise, that those are just shitty cars...
The ltd was not fast. There was a cop that put bananas in the tailpipe one time. What should be on instead is Australia's Ford LTD. Now that's a car. 5.4L v8s. 2000-2007 BAs
First up is the Bristol 412, a fancy British car from the 1970s. It was made by a company that used to build airplanes! The 412 had a unique roof you could take off and store in the trunk. Only 98 were ever made, so spotting one today is super rare. Next, we've got the Ginetta G21. This little sports car was built by a small British company in the early 1970s. It was designed to be fun to drive but also practical enough for everyday use. Ginetta only made about 80 of these, so they're pretty hard to find now. The Panther J72 is another cool British car from the 1970s. It looked like an old-fashioned 1930s sports car but had modern engines under the hood. Each one was built by hand, making them extra special. Moving on to France, we have the Panhard PL 17. This car was super light and aerodynamic, which made it really fuel-efficient. It even won a big rally race in 1961! Sadly, the company that made it went out of business not long after. From America, there's the Ford LTD LX. This was a family car with a muscle car heart. Ford only made about 3,260 of them in 1984 and 1985, so they're pretty uncommon today. The TVR Tasmin is another British sports car that's often forgotten. It had a wedge-shaped design that was really futuristic for its time. TVR was a small company, so they didn't make too many of these. Let's not forget the Triumph Acclaim. This was actually based on a Honda design, which was pretty unusual for a British car back then. It was reliable and popular, but not many have survived to today. We'll also check out the Toyota 2000GT, Japan's first supercar. Only 337 were ever made, and they're worth millions now! It even starred in a James Bond movie. Finally, there's the Jaguar XJ12, a luxury car with a massive 12-cylinder engine. It was super fast for its size but used a ton of gas. That, plus its high price, means not many were sold. Aside from the cars listed in the description, the other ones are the Marcos Mantis and Bond Equipe.
Most of these cars rarity stems from how undesirable they were. If they were better looking they’d probably had sold a lot more. The Toyota and Jag clearly don’t belong in the list. I find it astounding how ugly some cars can be.
Bristol 412 or Beaufighter should be a decent car with this Zagato body and a normal roof top like a Brigand Britannia coupe', strange the choice of a not nice targa top
The MK2 had the most expensive body shell of any production car at the time, it was curve detail loaded. When Ford bought Jaguar they immediately abandoned the design because they could find no way of mechanically mass producing the body panels which until then were still being mostly hand made and took a lot of fettling and panel beating to get fitted to a reasonable standard. Thus you then got the squared off XJs, they followed the rough dimensions, they still looked sleek but alas no longer beautiful. Later iterations were a little more rounded off and featured aluminium body shells until in the end even the V12s were pretty much abandoned and replaced with V8s. Ford on one hand saved the company but on the other hand tarnished the brand, and their biggest mistake? Flogging it off literally just weeks before sales of Jags exploded around the World.

Wot no Jankel Tempest?
TVR looks like an old Taurus
Triumph Acclaim is not so bad, maybe is too 70s style in the 80s....
Janette G21 ? I’m guessing the badge on the boot is the correct spelling “Ginetta”
Who said Janette? Its Ginetta. Where did you get that name?

Triumph had thin body panels, known for rusting prematurely.
These cars were highly modified by Australian and South African enthusiasts, of which I am one. I drove several of these.
Which one??
What about the Quattroporte ll? Or the fabulous Ligier JS2 from the same era?
The ligier JS2 is a beautiful sounding and looking exotic.
