About the Registry

Why This Registry Exists

The Toyota Soarer and Lexus SC are among the most iconic Japanese grand tourers ever produced. From the original Z10 in 1981 through to the final SC430 in 2010, these cars represent nearly three decades of Toyota's commitment to luxury performance.

The Soarer Registry is a community-driven project to document every surviving example in the world — building a permanent, searchable record for owners, historians, and enthusiasts alike.
