The following links are in Japanese, from a Japanese auction site. These cars are currently up for auction. Even if you can't read the text, you should be able to see the photos. EV Mini-Van, was formerly the property of some local government organization, has 2800 km on it. Starting price 80,000 yen, "buy it now" price 100,000 yen. http://page5.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/e13989322 1987 Bedford "Chevy" EV "40,000kw restore base vehicle" (whatever that means). Starting price 390,000 yen. Will probably run fine with new batteries. Charger not included. http://page2.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/b8843097 The above have nothing to do with me. I just thought you might want to know what's available on the Japanese auction site. Christopher Witmer
