Our Take:
- A rare sight on the road: The 1998 Toyota Progres isn't your everyday commuter. This Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) gem is a hidden treasure, imported under the 25-year rule, making it legal for enthusiasts in the US. Its right-hand-drive layout adds a charming touch for those who crave the distinct feel of driving something different.
- The heart of a legend: This Progres is equipped with a 1JZ-GTE swap from the Toyota Crown Athlete V—an inline-six powerhouse beloved by the tuning community. Known for its smooth power delivery and renowned reliability, this engine swap gives the Progres sports car-like potential without losing its luxury sedan roots.
- Tasteful modifications: With features like the JIC coil-over suspension and a custom cat-back exhaust, this Progres has been given performance upgrades that keep it engaging for road trips or spirited drives. The UK Lexus IS200 wheels add a touch of class, balancing aesthetics with performance—a nod to its sophisticated yet sporty appeal.
- Luxury dressed in Japanese elegance: From its ivory leather seating to genuine walnut wood trim, the Progres NC250 V is imbued with luxury features that rival its European counterparts. Dual-zone climate control and a memory system for the seats speak to an era when Toyota was out to prove it could do "luxury" just as well, if not better, than others.
