Anyone with a 1965 Toyota Crown MS41 / RS41?

Hey guys!

I've been contacted by a company, GE Fabbri, that has been making models of various James Bond movie related cars - you may have seen some of them as they are sold in the UK and France (they have done 47 Bond cars to date). They are currently looking for a car to use as reference for a new model. The company already did a Toyota 2000GT, from the movie "You Only Live Twice", with Bond and Aki seated in the car.

In this case they plan on doing a villans car, from the same movie - a Toyota Crown which is lifted by a giant magnet being carried by a helicopter, and then eventually dropped into the waters off Tokyo. The Crown in the film was a 1965 MS41, which can be deduced by the light colored emblem on the grille. The model company is seeking a 1965 MS41 DX (RHD) Crown. If all else fails a RS41 should do nicely also. The company needs to take detailed photos of the car so that the model makers can do their thing.

If anyone knows of such a car in Europe, especailly either the UK or France, please let me know, and I can get the owner of the car in contact with the model company. ;D
