The Toyota WiLL was born out of a collaboration by a number of companies such as Toyota , Panasonic, Asahi breweries and Kinki Nippon Tourist Company. The idea was simple, to design a whole range of lifestyle products for the Japanese youth which would encourage them to use home grown products.
The idea was keep it simple, make it funky and it will sell like hotcakes with the up and coming generation.
This collaboration also saw the design and production of a Laptop, a collapsible bike even a Beer all bearing the WiLL Vi name. Not made for export in numbers there are not many that have made it to our shores and the WiLL initially didn’t sell in huge numbers and so it was only in production for 2 years 2000/2001, this means there aren’t that many around.
This particular example was imported by its current owner some 18 months ago. Prior to import, not a lot is known of its history but since he landed in the UK it has been taxed and serviced several times and has also been MOT’d.
The interior is tidy, it features an unusual layout of both front and rear seats being in a bench style. The chunky Tan coloured plastics against the crème upholstery stand out and are certainly a bold funky statement. The car also sports an expensive Kenwood touchscreen head unit.
The pastel pink paint on the vehicle is clean with only minor stone chips visible, there is also one small area of paint discolouration on the passenger side of the front bumper (pictured) The hub caps are scratched.
The design/shape was supposed to be a throwback to the 60s with cars like the Ford Anglia lending their inspiration for the rear window.
The car is also fitted with the optional fold back cloth roof making it a joy for trips out in the sunshine.
The 1.3 litre Toyota engine pulls the small car along nicely through the 4 speed automatic gearbox. Any mechanical servicing and parts needed during its time in the UK have been sourced and fitted. With the car being based on a MK1 Toyota Yaris parts are easily sourced here in the UK.
This car is a perfect example of Japanese quirkiness, its 60’s inspired styling, the pastel pink paint work with added glitter and its functional chunky interior make it a pleasant sweet little car to own.
Due to being based on a popular offering from Toyota but with a cheeky fun body design the car will definitely stand out in a crowd but also be easy to maintain and source parts for if needed.
If you're after something a little different and quirky, something that sets you apart from the average European supermini in a car park, there can't be more than a handful of these on UK soil.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
