It's something with either a Toyota AA or AC front end grafted on but can't be a  pre-war Toyota.  Toyotas of that era  (1936 onwards) didn't have that curved door glass with modern flush-fitting door handles (which look suspiciously 4-door pickup-like), curved, chrome-trimmed windscreen with modern wipers or non-suicide rear doors .  If it was the real thing it would be very, valuable. 

Have to agree with your comments , made me take a second look .

Well some historians say its Chevy , and theres only one left.Unless one can see the Block i dont know , or realy care.

Where has it been stated that an engine from Chevrolet was used?  

 

"...i dont know , or realy care".

You don't?  You cared enough to post a comment claiming that it was the case when it wasn't!

There's a lot of these really good biiig Toyotas on the streets of Yangon. Imported second-hand from Japan, due to the stringent environmental laws there. About 2 yo, no more than 40,000 km on the odometer. Not seen in Thailand, presumably due to import taxes. The Australian car industry squeals like a stuck pig whenever the topic is raised, although our neighbors across the Tasman seem to have no problem. Who said protectionism was dead?

In Thailand those are called Lexus LS 430s and there's plenty of them here, in Japan they're Toyota Celsiors, exactly the same cars apart from the badges.

I think you must mean a Triumph Mayflower?

I wouldn't put wide boots on one of those, if you saw the front spindles you would see why.....????....Nice to see though..

Haha, my dad had one years ago and cried out 'careful you'll have the wheels off' during a bit of enthusiastic cornering by yours truly.

Once saw a Countryman years ago in Chiangmai...surprised the termites hadn't got into it.
