Not factory as such but I believe that a very small number of prototypes were built by a coachbuilders under Toyota's direction with a view to a production version that never happened.

That interior is all wrong. It's a late car with mish mash of early door cards and seats and oh and the lovely blue dash!

[munter]

That is the best looking MK1 I've ever seen. Can't believe Toyota didn't put these into production.

Shame Woodsport or others don't offer this mod...

EDIT: JUST TO NOTE I WAS TALKING ABOUT THE RED ONE IN THE OTHER LINK NOT THE eBAY DOG!!!


(just in case you think I'm blind or something)

Ignoring the interior for a moment that is the best looking MK1 I've ever seen. Can't believe Toyota didn't put these into production.

Paul has done most of the work towards building a cabrio in the past but it never got finished. I'm sure if someone threw a big enough pile of cash his way he'd have no problem building one.

Don't like the thing at all

Ugly hood, nasty wheels, mishmash interior & that horrible dark stripe over the middle. YUCK

Just one thing : it may be slightly lighter

Maybe not though cos of the scrap metal crossbraces & sill strengtheners

& $10K He's havin a laff

Nice to see one but meh!

The roof looks rather mx-5 ish.

[IanParkhouse]

Looks terrible, ruins the lines. Why bother when you can have a T-Bar.


Still very rare and collectable.

I want it

[tonigmr2]

I wouldn't mind it as a collectors item!
$10K, then shipping, Duty, it'll be over £10K landed.

And if you look at it, it isn't a very well loved example. Missing petrol cap, manky side skirts, poo wheels, 144K miles...hmmn!

i always wondered what one would look like but i dont like it. if it had a hard roof you could take off it would be nicer but i dont like that fabric roof look on it, and i agree it looses the lines that i love on the car.

Good to see tho i didnt know they even made one.

Looking at the leading edge of the hood, I suspect top-speed would be rather limited with the hood up.

It's mildly interesting but let's face it, it's a dog and so is the concept executed in that manner.

My dog is gorgeous

That thing is an insult to dogs

[Paul Cyclops]

Heaven forbid but, if your dog ever had a rear end issue and had to haul his or her ass around in one of those 'dog's ass carts' - I'm sure it'd select some nicer looking wheels.

Saw a spaniel with wheels t'other day

He was scooting along nicely

Hope Daisy never needs them though
