About the Toyota Crown S140
The S140 generation Toyota Crown represented a significant leap in refinement, adopting a more rounded, aerodynamic aesthetic compared to its boxy predecessors. The Royal Saloon G was the flagship of the standard Crown range, featuring the 3.0-litre 2JZ-GE engine that would later gain fame in the A80 Supra. It was designed primarily for the Japanese domestic market, offering a level of luxury and technology—including optional GPS navigation and air suspension—that rivalled contemporary European executive cars. Today, it is a popular choice for JDM collectors seeking a reliable, smooth-riding cruiser with a direct link to Toyota's golden era of engineering.
