An era describes context; it is not a claim that every surviving example was built in the same year. Individual profiles explain presentation dates, reference seasons and production periods where those distinctions matter.

Toyota 1996
The Toyota Classic revived the visual memory of the Model AA in a complete 100-car programme introduced in 1996. Under the retro body sat a Hilux-based platform and a two-litre engine, making…
Toyota 1996
The first RAV4 EV was Toyota’s early battery-electric adaptation of its compact SUV, marketed from 1996. Toyota reports approximately 1,900 sales worldwide through 2003. The frequently quoted 1,484 US vehicles are a…
Honda 1997
The Honda NSX Type S joined the first-generation range in February 1997.
Mitsubishi 1997
The roadgoing Pajero Evolution is a distinct V55W model within Mitsubishi’s off-road history. Its broad body and independent suspension make it more than a Pajero wearing rally graphics. The important boundary is…
Subaru 1997

Lamborghini 1998
The Lamborghini Diablo GT2 preserves a competition-development chapter through a real museum display vehicle. This profile records the physical programme without turning the display photograph into a complete race-car register or a…
Lamborghini 1998
The Pregunta by Heuliez gives the collection an unusually rounded, aircraft-influenced Lamborghini-based prototype. Its 1998 physical identity is documented separately from the production Diablo whose development chassis supplied its starting point.
Lotus 1998
The Lotus Elise Sport 135 Series 1 gives the early aluminium-chassis roadster a defined factory performance programme. Original service notes distinguish the named batches from later owner upgrades and the different Series…
THE RARITY RIDES STANDARD
A limited offer is not automatically a completed-production total. A surviving vehicle is not a complete factory census. We keep those distinctions visible and link each collection back to the individual profile’s evidence.
