Renoca Provides Vintage Outfits For Your Toyota

When it comes to Toyotas, it's difficult to go wrong. With an unblemished record for dependability and unrivaled build quality, you know exactly what you're getting when you hand over your hard-earned cash. Despite all of Toyota's contemporary cars' positive attributes, such as the Land Cruiser and Hiace, you may find its look to be a touch too modern and faceless for your preferences. But have no worries: Renoca, a Japanese company, can offer you something a bit more vintage instead.

Renoca is a division of Flex Inc, a bigger firm that specialized in customizing Toyotas, typically with a retro feel. A good example is the Renoca 106. It is modeled on the 100 Series Landcruiser, which was produced until 2007.

It has been completely restyled to resemble the older 60 Series Land Cruiser design. The original lights, grille, and bumper have all been removed, and a slab-front design has been installed in their stead. It's a beautiful appearance that dramatically alters the car, with huge round headlights and a flat Toyota grille with a wordmark emblem. To finish the appearance, massive off-road tires are coupled with a new set of wheels that may only be characterized as nostalgic.

The configurator allows you to look at all of the choices, including the square headlamp front grille, which is stylish in its own right. Seat coverings, along with a few additional trim pieces, convert the seats to seem a little more like the 1980s. The old-school appearance fits surprisingly well on the 90s design of the 100 Series Land Cruiser.

Renoca, on the other hand, isn't only about four-wheel drives. It works well on the Toyota Hiace van as well. It has a comparable conversion with old-school round or square headlights and a traditional grille. The Euro Box, a modification of the Toyota Probox van into a beautiful small wagon, is another example.

A retro Renoca will cost you anywhere between 3 and 4 million yen, depending on old automobiles acquired from parent firm Flex, but it's unclear if this includes the cost of the donor vehicle. That's around $27,000 to $37,000 in US currency.

Even if a Renoca construction is your dream, you'll be hampered by the standard 25-year US import policy, which will prevent you from getting one into the nation anytime soon. While it may be difficult to find such a throwback in the United States, Renoca's work demonstrates the significance of previous architectural styles.
