Japanese Auction

Toyota Auction House TAA Auto Auction: Outside photo of the TAA or Toyota auction centre, just 10 minutes from Angel Motors Japan's office.
Auction Car Park TAA Auction forecourt: One of many parking lots where up to 2000 cars are sold each week.
Auction Terminal Computer rating system: Every vehicle sold at a Japan auction house is carefully inspected and given a rating reflecting the overall quality and condition of the vehicle. An auction sheet can be found in every vehicle to be purchased and auction members have unlimited time till bidding commences to carefully view a vehicle. Keys are also in every vehicle to test the engine and electrics. Here is a photo of one of many computer terminals at the auction where a bidder can review details and photos of each car.
Auction Room

Auction Room

TAA Main Auction room: The main room of the TAA auction centre where cars up for bidding are displayed. Two vehicles are sold every minute and the auction screen displays all the relevant details of every vehicle. At each seat, an auction member has access to a electronic terminal where he may bid on a vehicle. If his bid wins then a light on his individual panel will light up.
Netz Body Workshop Toyota NETZ Sports Centre: Next to the TAA auction is the NETZ  Sports workshop where any variety of customising or modification work car be done on any Toyota model.
White Estima - Bodykit Customised Estima: The Japanese have a love affair with white vehicles unlike the UK. To them white represents a sign of purity and cleanliness. Here is a "low-down" version of an Estima customised with skirts all round and fitted with hydraulics patterned after the S. California "low-rider" models. This version is mainly popular with the Japanese youth.
