About 30 years ago I worked at a Toyota dealership where a formula Vee racer worked as a mechanic. He was the man who gave me the heads-up on the 72/6 I have today. About 25 years ago I went to his house where he had a 70 1.7 in absolutely gorgeous condition sitting with only 14,000 miles on it.

Today, I was out in his area and decided to stop by. He's sitting in his garage, now 83 years old and there it was. The same 70 in exactly the same spot in the same condition with the 14,000 still on the clock.

This is a car that looks like it has never been dirty, ever. He helped order the car and has some very interesting characteristics. I plan on going back out to get a series of pics in a couple of weeks.

Here's a bit about it.

vin: 4702910016

door # 2529567

production date: 6/70

color: adriatic blue

interior: beige cordouroy

All books, tool kit and maintenance records are in perfect condition

The car fired right up and ran like a top.

Hope to have the shots up in a bit.
