2000 Toyota Altezza RS200 Z Edition (SXE10) — Silver

Six forward gears and a rear-wheel-drive layout separate this Altezza from the automatic RS200s that fill most Japanese auction listings. The 6MT was the box Toyota paired with the 3S-GE BEAMS, a 2.0-litre inline-four, and in Z Edition trim you get the sportier of the two RS200 grades.

Registered in April 2000, it shows 151,562 km. Silver paint, four doors, right-hand drive, and 2,000cc on the registration. Repair history not recorded for this vehicle.

The SXE10 chassis went overseas wearing a Lexus badge, but the domestic Altezza kept the BEAMS engine and manual gearbox in this form, which is the reason people hunt the Japanese cars rather than the export ones. Silver is the most common colour on this chassis and the easiest to keep looking tidy. It's an unfussy spec. Nothing rare about the shade, plenty rare about the gearbox bolted to that engine, and the mileage is about what you'd expect from a 26-year-old sedan that was actually driven.
