Info about this vehicle:

1982 Toyota Crown Royal Saloon - Red - 244,748km - 2.8L Inline-6, 3-Speed AutomaticOverviewThe Toyota Crown of the early 1980s represents a significant moment in Japanese automotive history. This MS112-generation Crown, built in July 1982 at Toyota's Japanese manufacturing facility, embodies the engineering philosophy that established Toyota's reputation for durability and refinement. The Crown was Toyota's flagship sedan, positioned above the Cressida, and offered a sophisticated alternative to European executive saloons. This particular example is a Royal Saloon variant, the premium trim level, finished in striking red with a contrasting tan velour interior. The 2.8-litre inline-six engine paired with a three-speed automatic transmission delivers smooth, understated performance characteristic of the era's Japanese luxury approach.This Crown presents as a genuine survivor from four decades of ownership. The red metallic paint holds reasonable gloss across the body panels, with minor stone chipping visible on the bonnet leading edge and light surface scratching consistent with age and use. The bodywork is straight with no obvious dents or creases, and the panel gaps remain even. The tan velour interior shows wear consistent with 244,748 kilometres of use, with visible bolster wear on the front seats and some fading to the dashboard trim, but the overall cabin architecture remains intact and original. The steering wheel shows patina appropriate to the vehicle's age. Chrome trim and badging present with light oxidation. All four doors operate smoothly, and the windows function as expected. The odometer reading of 244,748 kilometres appears genuine based on the interior wear pattern and mechanical condition observed.In today's classic car market, early 1980s Japanese luxury sedans have gained genuine collector interest. The Crown's reputation for mechanical soundness, combined with its rarity in Australian hands and period-correct specification, positions this as a worthwhile acquisition for the enthusiast seeking an authentic, usable classic. Values for comparable MS112 Crowns in similar condition range from AUD $8,000 to $14,000 depending on provenance and originality. This example, unregistered and presented as-is, offers the buyer an opportunity to restore or enjoy as a rolling piece of Japanese automotive heritage.ConditionThe exterior paint is clean and presents well, with minor stone chips on the bonnet and light surface scratching visible under close inspection. The red finish shows good colour depth and gloss where protected. All body panels are straight with no evidence of accident repair or panel gaps that suggest previous damage. The chrome trim, including the distinctive horizontal grille bars and bumper trim, shows light oxidation consistent with age but re
