1997 Toyota Chaser Tourer V (JZX100) — Silver

First registered in March 1997, this Toyota Chaser Tourer V shows 98,250 km, a figure that sits comfortably under 100,000 for a car nearly three decades old. It is a silver four-door on the JZX100 platform, and it carries the five-speed manual rather than the automatic, which narrows the field considerably among surviving Tourer V examples.

The engine is the 1JZ-GTE, a 2.5-litre turbocharged inline-six driving the rear wheels. A big saloon with a rear-drive layout and a manual gearbox is a pairing Toyota didn't offer for long, and the JZX100 is one of the last places you find it. Steering wheel on the right, as built for the Japanese market.

Repair history not recorded for this vehicle.

Silver on a JZX100 tends to age well; it hides the swirl marks that show on darker examples and doesn't fade the way some of the period reds did. Four doors mean rear passengers get real space, so this is a car that can carry a family to a track day and still hold its own once it gets there.
