Tigers,
I found some information on the web about one fantastic artist *Shin
Yoshikawa*, of . He produces sketches of great cars in a "cutaway"
mode. He also *makes* all aluminum cars, from scratch, for some very
recognizable fans. Like a Toyota 2000GT - all aluminum. The car, and
others, is shown at:

>
He ALSO makes exposed drawings of some great cars.

He is now working on the Toyota 2000 Roadster, reproduction in aluminum,
only a little larger to fit American sized bodies, not the Japanese
standards, and an aluminum body Cobra for "the Carroll"
You may remember that *this* is the car James Bond drove in "You Only
Live Twice". See Cable Station "Encore". The Preview is broadcast
FREE on their Cable Site. Check your cable/satellite service for
availability.

And is showing:
* Tuesday, August 24, 7:35 a.m.
* Thursday, September 23, 11:35 p.m.
* Friday, September 24, 7:45 a.m.
There were only two of these cars ever made, and they were returned to
Toyota after filming. These cars were very nice, and Mr. Yoshikawa is
making an all aluminum version, sized for American Drivers (they are
bigger), and a modern Toyota engine. His fabrications are shown
So, you may ask, "*What has this to do with Tigers?*" So, I'll tell you.
Had a great conversation with Shin Yokohama. He saw our
http://TigersUnited.com website, and asked whether Tiger Owners would
want an cutaway drawing of our TIGER. When he finishes the drawing it
copies will be available. See his website for examples:
< *http://www.kaiartintl.com/* > and his illustrated column at *<*

Order first, and get a low serial number. The size will be *18" x 24"*
and the introductory price for pre-orders will be *$30*. Heck, we spend
more than that for beer.
I have no business connection with Mr. Yoshikaw, this effort is for the
"love" of Tiger Owners.
