Unfortunately the Milestone Car Society seems to be defunct or their website seriously hacked.

When I lived on Long Island, NY, from 9/73–6/74, there was a Toyota dealer on Jericho Turnpike east of Route 110 that had one in their showroom. That beauty caused me to find a small model which I still have today.
