About Toyota Century:
The Toyota Century GZG50 is Japan’s ultimate luxury limousine, famous for its understated styling, exceptional refinement and deep connection to Japanese executive and VIP culture. Pre-2002 examples are particularly appealing for enthusiasts seeking the classic G50 specification.
Under the bonnet sits Toyota’s remarkable 5.0-litre 1GZ-FE V12, developed specifically for the Century. Smooth, quiet and effortless, it is paired with rear-wheel drive and a chassis designed around comfort and long-distance luxury.
For their age, these Centuries are exceptionally well equipped, with higher-spec examples offering features such as heated seats, power-reclining rear seats, rear massage functions, electric curtains and extensive rear passenger controls.
Prices can vary dramatically depending on condition. Cleaner, well-preserved examples are increasingly sought after by collectors worldwide and are fetching stronger prices in Japan. With values climbing over the years, importing directly from Japan is becoming an increasingly attractive option.
Pre-2002 examples can also be eligible for Club Permit registration in Victoria once they meet the 25-year age requirement and other applicable conditions, making the GZG50 particularly interesting for Australian collectors.
With its V12 engineering, distinctive styling, remarkable luxury equipment and unique place in Japanese automotive culture, the pre-2002 Century GZG50 is an increasingly collectible JDM luxury icon.
