After its debut at the Tokyo Motor Show in 1965, only 351 examples of the 2000HT were built by 1970. Today a nice one can fetch over $1M. Kyosho's diecast of the 2000GT coupe is below.
Two 2000GTs with chopped roofs were used in the filming of You Only Live Twice, released in 1967. There was no working top on these, and it was driven by Bond girl Aki in this outing for 007 set in Japan. Corgi made one with working rear mounted rockets, a nice follow-up to their 007 Aston Martin DB5.

@rich-sufficool Kyosho made a number of 2000GT race cars. I wish I had bought a few of them.
