Actually, what I'm thinking is: Why are you continuously posting images every five minutes, to up your post count, when all of these images could easily be in one post?

I don't think so.

Extract from the Main page. Giving more information on the Toyota 2000 from You Only Live Twice

When the cars were finally ready for use, Eon was facing another problem: Aikiko Wakabayashi, who played Aki, could not drive a car! But this time, a quick solution was found: the driving would be done by Toyota test drivers Hiroshi Fushida and Tomohiko Tsutsumi. The cars were used from July to October 1966 on 14 different locations in Japan. Several blocks were closed for an early morning shooting on Tokyo’s famous ‘Ginza’ street, but those scenes ended up on the cutting room floor, much to the disappointment of the Toyota bosses. They were also unhappy about the fact that in the final film, the car had a total screen presence of only 6 minutes in three different scenes.


Not a trick:
gadgets from Sony behind the seats.
The car was equipped with several communications gadgeds by Sony, which included a small closed-circuit colour TV receiver with VCR unit in the glove compartment as well as cameras behind the license plates, a two-way radio, a voice-controlled tape recorder and a Hi-Fi receiver – this was absolute top-notch high-technology in 1966.


Comparison between original dashboard (with gadgets) and movie scene.
No gadgets here, and it's not even a Toyota...

Corgi Toys model, equipped with rocket launchers.
Interestingly, there are some scenes in which the equipment is nowhere to be seen, even though it should be there. Apparently a genuine blooper: the rest of the interior also looks nothing like it should, the scenes were obviously shot in a completely different car. The Corgi scale model version of the car additionally had four rocket launchers in the boot. If this was an invention by Corgi, or if it was probably planned for the movie at an early stage remains unclear.

Possibly, but it seems fairly innocent.

However, it would be better if the photos were in focus.

Only ten more of these cars to go, by the way (number 100 came out last week). However those of us who have been collecting them will have to wait until September next year to complete the collection, as the last ten are now being released on a monthly basis, rather than fortnightly.

Number 101 is the Rolls Royce driven by Tibbett in AVTAK, and coming up is the goldola/hovercraft from MR. I've no news about the other eight, although when this series started it was only supposed to run to 40 cars, and the last was to have been the Aston Martin DB5 from Casino Royale, which has still not been released.

It will be interesting to see which Bond cars make this last ten other than the ones I've mentioned. Some of the past 100 have been well known, others have been cars that only made "blink and you'll miss it" appearances.
