Yes, the rare 2000GT. I think Sean Connery drove the convertible version in Dr. No (correction: You Only Live Twice). Reputed to be only three convertible versions in existence. Good luck finding one, let alone procuring one.
Arguably, it's the best car 007 ever drove. For me anyway.
007 cars:
1. Aston Martin DB5
2. Lotus Esprit
3. Toyota 2000GT Convertible
4. Bentley Mark IV
5. Aston Martin V12 Vanquish
6. BMW 750iL
7. Ford Mustang Mach I
8. BMW Z8
9. BMW Z3
10. Sunbeam Alpine

Yes, rare indeed.

Very sweet!
Honestly, I would have wagered one would go for a lot more than $200K but checking Google, I found this one was sold for only $225,988. Nice estimate.
