Another shed - something different/odd this time

A 2003 Series 5 Toyota Camry. To say they didn't sell many is an understatement. It would seem that in the exact spec I have (poverty - 2.4VVTi GLS) there are only 45 on the road in the UK! Only five times that number if you include the 3.0 and CDX variants.

 

Has 51k on the clock and FSH. Was owned by elderly man from new who has now, sadly, had to go into a care home. It took me a long time to find the right one - travelled to Birmingham to get it.

 

What can you say about it - not a lot:

1. It was cheap (£1,650)

2. They didn't trouble the design department too much when modelling the exterior :lol:

3. It has a massive 587L boot

4. It has a very low drag coefficient 0.28

5. It needed hoovering

 

I might keep this one for a while as it's a bit quirky :p

That thing is going to keep on working forever!!

 

Having now put a few miles on it and crawled underneath it etc, I think you could be right. When I mentioned it to my long term Toyota contact/expert he said "very robust cars" ....not the most exciting word but I quite like stuff that just works.
