Well I've been kicking around the forum for a while now and invited myself along on the factory tour so I thought it was time I showed you what I have.

Toyota Sera


Baja Beetle - I drove across the world in this car and plan to do a few more expeditions in it

Okay, that's what I get for living across the pond... A Toyota Sera? Never heard of it. A Toyota with butterfly doors?!? Wild.

Very nice Toyota Sera! I'd like to import one to The Netherlands when I can afford it.

Thanks guys!

The Sebring is my baby, I've had it 12 years but it's just gone in the garage for some engine work and go faster bits so I won't be able to bring it to the factory (this time)

The Sera is quite rare, they were never sold in the UK so this was an import from Japan. It's only a 1.5 but has been a great little run around for the last 7 years. I have however woefully neglected it in favour of the other cars and it's now rather smokey. I'm told it needs new head gasket and rings. trying to decide whether to do it, put a starlet turbo engine in or sell it. So, reddingius, if you fancy a cheap fixer upper it may be available.

The plan for the 550 spyder is for something like this




but the Baja, or Pedro as he is known, is the real star of the garage. I bought him from california last year, imported him to the Uk, had him expedition prepped and then drove over 20,000 miles from the Uk to Singapore. I went through Europe to Kosovo, Macedonia, Greece, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, India, Nepal, Tibet, china, laos, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore. Then I flew into australia and shipped the car home.

With "killer", the Sebring in the garage I've recently been turning up at car meets with Pedro and the little bugger steals the show every time, upstaging some very flash cars! He has built up such a following with requests for photos and videos that I've now created a facebook page to post all the pictures and video from his travels and more recent events.

Awesome car collection you have there! Your fixer upper proposal sounds very appealing but my recently acquired Saab 99 has been draining my wallet ever since I got it. So I have absolutely no money to spend for the foreseeable future, sadly. I hope your Sera will find a good home though!
