Toyota S800 - Toyota Yaris Forums

More info, for those interested, the engine used was the 3M, it was a 2.0 Litre inline-6 based on the M-block with a Yamaha designed DOHC head and used 3 two-barrel Solex 40 PHH Carburators. It used a 5-speed manual transmission, had a limited slip differential, and, an oddity for it's time, had power-assisted disc brakes at all four wheels. It was produced from 1967-1970 and only 337 were produced. Of course James Bond drove a convertable in "You Only Live Twice" and Sailor Uranus drives a yellow convertable in Sailor Moon (my friends are anime geeks) but the 2000 was never commercially available as a convertable, the Bond cars were custom, two were retrofitted for the movie.
