I must be an addict, but how's this for a wide ranging collection (all autos):
1x 1968 MS55 2.3 Silver Blue Saloon - Genuine UK car, maybe only mine and Peter Hunters left? Very nice car for it's day. Restored by previous owner Andy from Shaftesbury.
3x 1972 MS75 2.6 Coupes - Nuff said, I am lucky, Red, Black and the ubiquitous metallic light blue, with a black vinyl roof, just like Billy Wells'. An iconic Japanese car, worth selling your soul for.
2x 1981 MS112 2.8 Super Saloons (both 2 and 4 headlamp variants) - The worlds best styled formal saloon car?
1x 1985 LS120 2446cc Turbodiesel 'Station Wagon' (Estate) - A rare car, imported to UK in error! At last, I own a potentially practical Crown.
1x 1991 UZS131 Crown Royal G 4.0V8 - last of the chassis models I think, other than taxi-specs and carry over estate models. One of my dream cars, first imported specially by Greg Horrocks, TEC member and Crown-nut from Croydon - Thasnks Greg .
1x 1992 JZS149 Majesta 3.0 - same floorpan & running gear as a GS300, but with a totally different JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) body. Imported by a Russian (Gangsta?)
This could be a world record, but if I was daft enough to add a late 70's MS85 series, that would be seven consecutive different series of Crown! Although six is pretty good going.
Note, you can be a TEC member, and still be normal, with just one or two cars. However some of the committee members do get a bit carried away - others are as mad as me - (Peter, Dan, Harvey&Debbie...)
I'll post some pics soon, maybe on the TEC site.
Any more UK owners of Crowns out there?
