Last year, Toyota showed us its new Century. Which looked rather a lot like the old Century. In a world of tech-laden, exotically trimmed limos, it went deliberately against the norm, the highlights of its spec sheet being net curtains, wool seats and a magazine rack. Seriously. All of which might mean its freshly announced 19,600,000 yen price tag comes as a wee bit of a surprise, given it currently converts to around 135,000. An amount that can buy you a properly decked out Mercedes S-Class or Range Rover, not to mention any one of the current crop of Premier League sports cars: Audi R8, Merc-AMG GT, Porsche 911 Turbo, McLaren 540C None of which, of course, have net curtains, wool seats or a magazine rack. Not unless you have everyone at McLaren"s MSO secret ops team on speed dial.
