Thanks John for the video. Japanese sports cars are among my favorite 1:1 scale cars. I have had one almost continually since 1972.

@ed-davis unfortunately, I do not have a source for these. Otherwise I would!

Question for forum members. John’s video shows a red convertible. Does anyone know if there was ever a real 2000GT convertible in red? The only convertible I know is the white one specifically made for James Bond.

Richard is correct. Only two factory-made white ones were made for the Bond movie. But, over the years, a few conversions have been done.

Gorgeous models.  I have the KYOSHO coupe, racing coupe (below) and convertible and love them but these are even nicer.

This is a new one to me. I like the blue coupe very much. I’m not as sure about the red roadster which I suspect is imaginary. I also like the Kyosho. Thank you John.

Way back in 2013 I got the HPI/Mirage 2000GT Tokyo Motor Show version in a deep candy apple maroon. At that time I recall there were 150 of this version. I took a pic in sunlight because my usual cloudy sky pics wouldn't do it justice. If it looks familiar it's because I post these pics every time the subject of 2000GTs comes up.
