Automotive enthusiasts outside Japan may not necessarily know about the Toyota Sera, which is perfectly fine because the car was originally designated for the Japanese market alone. Nonetheless, this does not necessarily mean that there is no interest at all whatsoever in the vehicle model in question outside Japan. As a matter of fact, an owner of the car is selling his Sera and the owner comes from Canada. The car is named after a French word that means ‘will be’. Well, the car was introduced back in the nineties and it seemed like the Japanese automaker, Toyota, wanted to emphasize the car’s futuristic features. Back in the nineties, the features available on the Sera were indeed quite futuristic and the vehicle looked very much alike its concept counterpart, the Toyota AXV-II. However, you need to look closely at the Sera before you can see what was futuristic about the car back in the 1990s.
To begin with, the car comes with a lot of glass materials on its body panels right out of the factory. In fact, it looks like a mobile glass house. In addition to that, the car also comes with a pair of butterfly doors. Need I remind you that butterfly doors were not really the thing of the past? There were not too many cars that had such doors, with Lamborghini vehicles being an exception. One thing that is interesting about these doors of the Toyota Sera is that they only need a space of precisely 17 inches to open. That said, you may have no problems trying to get into or out of the car even in tight parking lots.
This Toyota Sera that its Canadian owner is selling can be found on eBay. Sure, it has been quite a while since it was last delivered to Canada from Japan. Nevertheless, it is safe to say that the car is still in a pristine condition. Its air conditioning system and all other electrical components still function properly, the car has no visible rust on it and there are no indications of damages on the car’s body as well. In fact, you will even get 10-speaker audio system original from Toyota inside this car. And if those are not enough, the car sits on four new tires and it has only reached a distance of 100,000 km. There is even a mechanical pass available as well.
