Do you think Toyota will establish an Assured Provenance Certification Program for Tercel 4WD Wagons? What would Goldie achieve?
Should I win the lottery, should I ship her back to Japan?

I think these mfgrs have latched on to a Golden Goose with their levels of "provenance"...

Re: Provenance for T4WD's?
there are actually a few rather rare and unusual Toyota models that have made it to these shores that are considered collectible, but I doubt the Tercel4wd is one of them.
I doubt the factory would "authenticate" any model toyota, they just to not seem to be of the same mentality of the Bently folks.

The original Toyota GT is now worth a million bucks, only about 68 with LHD were set to North America.
