Rare full convertible Supra prototype discovered

A colleague of mine has been involved in some consultancy work for Toyota UK, and informs me that following a recent audit they have discovered a long lost prototype of a convertible Supra (not an Aerotop).

 

Developement work commenced using a specialist team here in the UK, but was abandonded around 2000. I understand this prototype, the only one remaining, had been languishing for a number of years in the garage of a Toyota development engineer.

 

From what I can gather, the hood folds down into where the back seats normally are, i.e. it is a 2 seater only.

 

He has got me this photo of it, and will try and find out more

Thanks for the compliments about the photoshop guys, - I wont be giving up the day job!

 

Better to have tried and failed than not tried at all!!

 

I bet had it not been April fools day, not many people would have guessed it wasn't real :D
