Japanese SVX promo videos

Sorry if this has been posted before, I have just come across this Japanese promo video (in 2 parts) called "The story behind the SVX" from when the SVX was first launched.

It has a great intro then has some cliche'd cheesey parts but is in the main very interesting even if you, like me, don't speak any Japanese.
Part 1 mainly covers the design process (including one drawing of a 4 door) and the technical details. It looks like in the initial drawings the SVX was to have pop-up headlights.
Part 2 shows the prototypes being put through their paces in various tests.
One of the highlights is a comparison between a front wheel drive only SVX, rear wheel drive only SVX and a VTD four wheel drive SVX on a slalom in the wet. There is also a clip showing the crash testing.

The video links are:
Part 1;

Part 2;

Oh, yeah. While I was looking through Japanese SVX websites I came across a one owner SVX for sale that had been stored (but serviced) and has only 326Km (200ish miles) on it.
It probably got those Kms going to from services.
The ad is here...............http://www.carsensor.net/usedcar/det...ml?TRCD=200002

I've got to admit I'm a bit confused by the price.

Re: Japanese SVX promo videos

There is a White XT in the first video thats clearly a drivetrain mule for the SVX. So it has some sweet flares to cover the extra width of the SVX.

I think this will take you to the time mark.
