Classic Toyota Sports Car
The Sports 800, or the Yota-Hachi as they call it in Japan, is the classic Toyota sports car that classic car collectors longed to include in their collection. Its prototype, the Publica, which was first sold in Japan in 1962, has a sliding canopy and ran only in a 2 cylinder boxer engine. Later, Toyota developed the Publica that ushered the birth of the first Japanese made sports car, the now hotly coveted Toyota Sports 800.

There were only less than a couple of dozen of this model that reached United States when it first went on sale in 1965 making this classic Toyota sports car even more pricey in the US classic sports car game. This classic Toyota sports car model was not meant to be sold in the US market. Only a handful was built left-hand-drive for sale in Okinawa, the only place in Japan that adopts driving on the right side of the road, thanks to the US Military base in there.
The Toyota Sports 800 ran in a 790-cc 2U engine boosted by two carburetors reaching a speed of 90 miles per hour according to Toyota. Selected body panels of the Sports 800 are made of aluminum making the sports car lightweight, only 1279 pounds, and agile on the road despite the relative lack of horsepower from its early engine models. It stands only 46 inches tall, 58 inches wide, and 141 inches long.
Today, this classic Toyota sports car is not one for the road but rather one for a classic car collector's showroom. There are only few of these models left standing so that car museums in Japan are scrambling to save the remaining models. After all, the Sports 800 practically ushered Japan's auto industry into the sports car mania.
