I had no idea the UP10 series Publica was ever sold new in Australia. When this one appeared for sale I assumed it was private import, but it is listed as a 3 owner Australian vehicle with dealer papers accompanying the owners manual. Amazing! To state that it would “Suit collector or museum display“ is a bit of an understatement IMO, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets snapped up by a Toyota dealership somewhere as a talking piece alongside Toyota’s current motoring offerings. With immaculate paint, interior and chrome, a 700ccs 2 cylinders engine matted to a 2 speed Toyoglide automatic transmission, it is for sale here currently asking AU$8,500 which I think is pretty reasonable considering how rare it is to see one for sale. https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/_/SSE-AD-4666369 Seller's Comments:
