Description
Turn heads and spark conversations everywhere you go with this rare Toyota Sera - one of the most distinctive and futuristic JDM imports ever to hit UK roads!
This eye-catching silver Sera features the legendary butterfly doors (hinged at the roof and A-pillar, swinging up and forward like mini gullwings) - the very design that inspired Gordon Murray's McLaren F1! With the doors open, it looks like something from a sci-fi movie, yet it's surprisingly practical: they need just ~43cm of side clearance, perfect for tight London streets or parking in crowded areas.
The extensive glass canopy (wraparound windows + roof panels) floods the cabin with light, giving an airy, convertible-like feel without the wind or noise. Inside, you'll find the classic tan/orange seats, a modern aftermarket head unit, and that signature 90s JDM charm.
Powered by Toyota's reliable 1.5L 5E-FHE engine (around 104-110hp), it's paired with smooth automatic transmission - economical, easy to maintain, and shares parts with the Starlet/Paseo for affordable upkeep. It's a true 2+2 hatchback coupe that's fun for city driving, weekends away, or showing off at car meets.
This right-hand-drive example is UK-registered (as most imported Seras are), making it fully road-legal and ready to enjoy. Low production numbers (~16,000 ever made worldwide) mean these are getting harder to find in good condition - especially one looking this fresh on the street!
Highlights:
Iconic silver finish with those dramatic upward-swinging doors
Glass-heavy canopy for panoramic views
Toyota reliability - proven mechanicals, great for daily or occasional use
Unique styling that stands out from anything else on the road
Fun, quirky, and collectible - a proper modern classic!
Serious enquiries only - viewing welcome in South West London.
No time-wasters, please -
Full engine rebuild and respray in 2022.
