But like many of us car fans, it is fun to dream. It went for around 1,855,000 yen, which translates to about AU$19,590, at the exchange rate at the time of writing. Because this week such a vehicle went up for auction in Japan, with import specialist Nippon2U showing the listing as a possible purchase for interested punters.īefore we go any further we must, unfortunately, advise that the car has since been sold. However, it looks like someone in Japan came up with a great idea to turn one into a small pickup truck (ute, in Aussie terminology). Now, all models were either a coupe or liftback. They had a front-mounted engine with rear-wheel drive, and all in a very light weight package (most weighed around 980-1050kg). Nicknamed the Hachi-Roku in Japan, translating to mean ‘eight-six’, these Corolla-family models were built with the perfect foundations for driving and drifting enthusiasts. The Toyota AE86 series of Levin and Sprinter (pop-up headlights) are an icon of the drifting world.
