Fantastiske Toyota is the first album from the Danish pop and rock band, TV-2. The album was released in 1981; the band was at the time a quintet as Niels Dan Andersen plays the sax and keyboard. When recording it, the drummer Sven Gaul was on holiday in the US, so Eigil Madsen plays the drums for most of the songs.[1] The album proved a moderate success compared to the later albums of the band. Fantastiske Toyota reached sales of 28.000 records.[2]
