ACTUAL 12-CHARACTER VIN IS: JZA800038763

VIN listed above (JT2DD82A1V0036306) is not the actual number for this vehicle. eBay will not accept a 12-character VIN for a vehicle not available or sold in the USA.

Shipping to CONUS is available at actual cost of transatlantic transportation (no additional Seller fees to Buyer).

This is a Japanese-Spec (J-Spec), RHD Supra, imported to the UK from Japan, then exported to Germany. The car is my Daily Driver and Ringtool here in Europe, but it is NOT STREET LEGAL in the Continental United States (CONUS) due to USDOT and EPA vehicle import regulations.

Without modification (i.e., safety glass, emissions, bumpers, etc.), this vehicle may not be operated on public streets. 

Therefore, this vehicle is for COMPETITION and SHOW CAR use only (Check with State/federal authorities for vehicle import requirements).

Overall, this vehicle is in excellent condition. Never wrecked. It is, with few exceptions, purely stock. A "Survivor".

No radical changes have been made that would diminish reliability or durability.

Non-stock features include only:

> Ray's 3-piece modular wheels
> Meagan Racing Coilovers (adjustable)
> Slotted rotors and stainless steel brake lines
> Free-flow air intake plenum
> OBX stainless steel header
> OBX stainless steel exhaust system
> OBX aluminum racing radiator
> OBX silicone hose set
> TRD front spoiler (not yet installed or pictured)

I am PCSing back to the States in May 2013, and need to sell this Japanese Supercar before I can fly. If this is the type project you are looking for, I can assure you there will not be another like it in the Continental United States. This particular Anniversary Edition was only produced for the home (Japan) market.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.

Happy Bidding!

EVO "2012 Car of the Year: The Track Battles" is a sports car salmagundi

Sun, 25 Nov 2012

EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.

Toyota's Lentz says fuel cells are the future, not EVs

Sun, 25 May 2014

Toyota is not bullish on EVs. That comes from the company's North American CEO, Jim Lentz, who said the company will focus not on electrification, but on continued hybridization with a long-term focus on hydrogen fuel cells.
Lentz questioned the long-range ability of EVs, saying that Toyota feels "there are better alternatives, such as hybrids and plug-in hybrids, and tomorrow with fuel cells." Lentz spoke about Toyota's focus on hydrogen following Forbes Brainstorm Green conference and barely a week after a battery deal between Tesla and Toyota ended, according to Automotive News.
That deal provided for 2,500 battery packs for the Rav4 EV. While valuable to Toyota, the deal "was never about open-ended volume," Lentz said. "It was time to either continue or stop. My personal feeling was that I would rather invest my dollars in fuel cell development than in another 2,500 EVs."

Toyota sells 3-millionth Prius

Sun, 07 Jul 2013

Three generations in sixteen years and more than three million units sold worldwide - as of the end of June, those are the stats on the Toyota Prius. Even though Toyota says Prius sales might not reach the goal of 250,000 units this year, the little hybrid that could still doesn't have any problem flying off dealer lots. The second-generation Prius sold 1.2 million examples in its eight-year lifespan, and the third generation, introduced in 2009, has sold 1.7 million examples in just four years.
Toyota is also touting its investment in future powertrains, some 790 billion yen ($7.9 billion US) on research and development into new platforms and components, and "environmental technology development."
The press release below has more details, the future undoubtedly has more Priuses Prii in it.
