This Toyota Dealership Has Been Abandoned Since 1974

• Dealer is located in Famagusta, on the island of Cyprus.

• An invasion in 1974 forced the city’s inhabitants to flee.

This is the type of find all car enthusiasts hope to stumble upon at one point or another in their lives. This Toyota dealership has sat almost untouched since 1974 with a number of new-old cars still sitting in the showroom and shop.

The pictures on SHOWA Racing’s Facebook post show what the building and nearby street looks like. It’s evident that nature is slowly reclaiming the area. But the interesting part is what lies within the decaying walls of the Toyota dealership.

The most common car throughout is the Corolla. From what we can gather, they were absolutely new when the city was abandoned. There were few if any differences between the 1973 and 1974 model years. As well, we can spot what looks to be a Corona or two in some of the images.

One image, we thought, looked to be from the dealerships used car inventory, but Facebook has discovered that it’s actually from a dealership in Nagoya, Japan. Even so, it’s another fascinating picture. On the left, we’re guessing we’re looking at a Lotus Seven while on the right, the car looks to be a Mini Marcos. We’re unfortunately stumped by the middle car.

And no you can’t visit the place as it appears as though this part of Famagusta is off-limits to visitors.
