definately a classic in my eyes!

My dad had two of them in a row, then up graded to some more powerful motors.

But always had a soft spot for them.

Saw the pics before of yours and it looks like a minter, well done thumbsup.gif
Mr KE70
I consider in this shape the AE92 (GTi) is defo becoming a classic but this particular one not yet !!!
Sorry !!! rolleyes.gif

Thanks Mate thumbsup.gif Much appreciated. She is my 2nd, too. As you read the original post in Corolla, you saw that the few of us who have/have had them rate them highly
If I won the Lotto yes.gif I'd love to buy them all & give them a good home laugh.gif

Something funny/peculiar here ! unsure.gif
It is no big deal, as she is a Classic in my totally biased opinion clap.gif , but last night , when I checked the poll , there were 4 votes " for" & none against cool.gif
Now, today there are 2" for" & 3 against sad.gif
Not worried as I am just looking for the general opinion, But I can't understand how that happened. ohmy.gif

Total votes =9
Yes = 2
No = 3
Add in the 4 yes votes that went missing you get
Yes = 6
No = 3

17 years young laugh.gif 130k miles up & going like a sewing machine thumbsup.gif
They were never released here. I bought her on e-bay 4 years ago. she had been owned by the one Family up till then. Had her MOT when I got her, but had to get NCT done too mad.gif
The examiner congratulated me on her on two occasions cool.gif & the last time , last month, he found a bit of rust in the sills near the rear wheels. Sent me away to get it welded & return unpainted for a visual. Flew through, apart from that.
Keep her garaged , as much as possible, because the sea is only 100 yards down the road. Very nice, but not car friendly.

Definately on the road to becoming a classic, they're a lovely car. Is it an xl or gl model? You should treat it to a nice dose of waxoil to preserve it for as long as possible......

I like your "Space Age" Toyota. I got my "Classic" serviced before it's NCT. The Garage gave me a list of things that they thought were wrong & would have cost too much to put right. They were wrong biggrin.gif . Don't know what they were playing at, unless they hoped I'd buy a Hyundai unsure.gif
Anyway, the 1st thing I did was to look for Seras on e-bay.
I saw 4 nice ones at a local vintage rally. I got talking to a very nice Chinese / Japanese owner, who reckoned there are about 20 of them in this country thumbsup.gif
I was amazed at the price difference on e-bay, between Dealer cars & apparently comparable private sales.
