The S40 of 1962 was a larger, restyled Crown with a lower-slung X-frame chassis and the stylised crown badge on the grille. This 1900 sedan has the 3R four-cylinder, a manual gearbox and rear drive. It was among the first Toyotas sold in Europe, after Denmark's Erla Auto Import took 190 cars following a 1963 agreement.

STORY

The Toyopet Crown entered the Japanese market in January 1955. In 1964 the Crown Eight arrived with a 2.6-litre V8, and the Century, which went into production in 1967, was built on that V8 lineage. In July 2022 Toyota unveiled a new Crown family in four body styles, Crossover, Sport, Sedan and Estate, with the Crossover going on sale first, on 1 September 2022. The catalog files the Crown Eight, the S-series cars and the Sport under this one name, although they are very different machines.
