A mate linked this to me from NZ TradeMe (kinda their version of ebay).
Its a very rare 1976 Toyota TE45 Sprinter XL "Snake Eyes" and according to the advert there are only 3 left worldwide and this is the best of the survivors... Only 1 owner in Japan from new!!

Toyota Corolla Sprinter XL TTC-C
WATCHERS CAN NOT PURCHASE ONLY HIGHEST BIDDER WILL PURCHASE.
** NICKNAMED " Snake Eyes model " when released New in Japan **
** 1 OWNER in JAPAN !! **
** 36 YEARS OLD AND LOOKS NEW !! **
** GENUINE LOW KM'S !! JEVIC CERTIFIED !! **
** GARAGED IT'S WHOLE LIFE FROM NEW !! **
** TOTALLY NO SMOKING CAR !! **
ABSOLUTELY MINT CONDITION, ALMOST LIKE IT JUST CAME OUT OF THE SHOW ROOM IN 1976, YOU WILL NOT FIND A BETTER ONE EVER !!
** TE45 Models were built from 1974 to 1977 and as far as I am aware there is only 3 TE45 Models left in the world and this is the best 1 of those 3. **
That makes this car very hard to put a true value on.
Even The Toyota Museum in Japan doesn't have a Model TE45 Sprinter in their collection.
This car is totally original from top to bottom apart from now needing to have a High Stop Light Fitted to the back window for compliance reasons, even the original car manual book in perfect condition is with the car.
No rust, No dents, No Paint Defects and this is all completely original.
This car belongs in a collectors line up and I would love to see the buyer consider this when purchasing.
More importantly heres the photos ...
