Toyota may have withdrawn from Formula 1, but its cars could live on in 2010, according to reports. French newspaper Le Parisien reports that the Cologne-based Toyota squad has already completed the team's 2010 Formula 1 car, the TF110, and will now make it available for purchase by other teams.

US F1 and Manor would be the most likely potential customers, given that fellow new entrant Lotus has concluded a deal with outside supplier Aerolab to collaborate on the design of its car, and Campos Meta is set to run a chassis built by Dallara.

Lola is also believed to have an F1 design available for sale, after its bid to join F1 as a new team was rejected.
