Hi,

You can find some pics and info

here (Japanese), here (Japanese), here (German) and here (French)

They look very similar to a Honda S800, just a little curvier.

If their ride is anythingh like the Honda's, then all I can say is ...fun!

Cheers, Yves.

Well i never! I thought the same as JT!!

I never knew anything like that was ever made by Toyota! Very interesting!

Its got a slight similarity to the Toyota 2000 GT! Just smaller!

Any idea what the production figures were! I take it they are imports only! No british spec!??

Hi,

3131 Toyota S800's were made. They were only available in Japan.

I've only ever seen one in the flesh, in Germany, but there are quite some in the U.S. apparently.

Tim, if you get your hands on one of these, post us some pictures please!

Cheers, Yves.

Most went to the US but there is at least one in the UK - a red one was at JAE 2004 on the Saturday morning!

Shame i missed the one at JAE :(

I was prob too busy camouflaging my car so no one could see it
