It appears to have the most subtle two-tone paintwork ever.

I have an inexplicable fondness for the Picnic (Ipsum in Japan). Toyota GB built this one-off Sport, complete with alloys off the Camry Sport. I still have a set of the latter so it could be recreated.

Inspired by the above, I built a 1:24 version which will probably be the closest I'll ever get:

1:24 Aoshima Toyota Ipsum kit

 

Nice to see you back SL :) 

 

I'm sure that Picnic also had Celica GT4 running gear?  or did they do another one?

On-and-off, I think I 'celebrate' 15 years on AS next month!

Apparently they kept it as FWD but added an MR2 Turbo engine.

4wd versions were available elsewhere, that's what the kit I built represented.

That's a great read - and pretty much what my friend from Japex and I have agreed we will do to the Avensis when time is eventually called on this engine.

Like good manners and chequebooks, you see fewer and fewer of these with every year that passes.

 

Image 5 - Toyota Carina E CDX

Plenty to make it worthwhile.  There's the odd random quote like

Quote

Old Girl with the heart of a Teen

(strangely arousing)

Quote

Revered by Aston Martin test engineers (I kid you not) for her perfect performance envelope, whatever one of those is. Don't be fooled by those plush seats and retro walnut dash; pop the little button on the side of the auto shift and she transforms from middle-aged aunt into a snarling tigress

(weirdest boner ever)

And it's a proper auction.  You know - where the highest bidder wins the car pisses the owner about and then you can sweep in with a nice offer.

this is i think going to be much more that just a "simple recommissioning" which is a shame,

Ambro's don't exist in any numbers any more, and this one does look like a really good one, 

sad....

May be an image of car and outdoors

This is pretty much the ultimate Avantime. Leather, sat nav and v6 with a 6 speed manual. Pity it's not in that metallic green.
