Toyota Crown MS135 |
![]() |
People
who have unique Toyotas come to Toysport for their needs, when and after Toyota
dealers turn them away. We got
a call from a distressed owner with a “Toyota Crown with a special 6MGE engine”.
Yes, we told him “we can help you”.
The engine was covered with burned oil- just like a Supra 5MGE when the
cam towers and valve covers start to leak.
The 6MGE is a stroked version of the 5MGE- 3000 vs. 2800cc.
The problem was handled. When
the owner went back to Japan, he happily sold us the car.
When Lexus division started in 1990, the world press and more, the U.S.
press excitedly monitored how Toyota will fare in the up-scale market.
Little did they know that Toyota has been building cars more sophisticated
and luxurious than European offerings!
This Toyota Crown is a good example of how Toyota was so far advanced-
air vents that oscillate, front/rear/left/right air-conditioning control, seats
that recline flat, rear seats that tilt back, air suspension, no beverage holders
(but factory installed cool-box), dimming rear-view mirrors, and a host of other
nice luxury car touches that even current Mercedes and LS 400’s do not even
have! Even dual 3rd brake lights. And so Toyota succeded with the Lexus name….but Toyota owners
knew and had it all along…….we are witness to that.
