My favorite is the handbrake lever straight from the parts bin :-)

That, as CTM would say, saucy exposed gear shifter was years ahead of its time too.

Untill sursprisingly recently there was hardly any info on it. Which is not surpring really as the thing basically never was; I mean the whole class was cancelled in an early stage.
Secondly Toyota had no agenda with beating this drum.

Nevertheless an Úbercool technical class that. Sort of Group B+.
