2003 TOYOTA ARISTO – Vertex Edition

A true gem of JDM engineering, this 2003 Toyota Aristo Vertex Edition is an increasingly rare sight in completely unmodified, factory-spec condition. SB are thrilled to have this example on our platform. Showing just 77,000 miles (125k kms) from new and presented in excellent order throughout, this example stands as a pristine reminder of Toyota’s golden era of luxury-meets-performance saloons. Under the bonnet lies the legendary 2JZ-GTE twin-turbocharged 3.0 litre straight-six engine — the same powerplant made famous by the Mk4 Supra — paired to a sequential shift gearbox and rear-wheel drive. The result? Ultra-smooth power delivery, effortless cruising, and bulletproof reliability, all wrapped in an executive body shell with understated style. The Vertex Edition is the most sought-after trim, featuring refined touches such as factory aero, a subtly lowered stance, plush two-tone cloth interior and an impressive suite of technology for the time — including touchscreen infotainment. This Aristo remains completely original, right down to its OEM wheels and factory radio. No aftermarket modifications, no chopped-up wiring, no questionable upgrades — just the clean, untouched experience as Toyota intended. The bodywork is straight, the paintwork retains a deep gloss, and the interior is remarkably well-preserved. Imported from Japan three years ago and immediately ready to be enjoyed on UK roads, this Aristo offers the best of both worlds: Supra-grade performance with Lexus-grade refinement. Whether you’re a collector seeking an untouched 2JZ sleeper, or an enthusiast looking for a daily driver with cult appeal, this Vertex Edition is an opportunity not to be missed.
