In The Beginning...

Thought these 1967 UK sales brochure pages may be of interest, of the KE10 Corolla.

To think the Corolla would become the most sold car in the world.

I like the 'white wall' tyres

Note that the aeriel is electric, for 1967 on a basic family runabout that is pretty good.

It was when in the 70's that the likes of Toyota and Datsun (That's Nissan to you young wipper snappers!!!) started to fit the extras as standard and UK manufacturers didn't that the first nail in the coffin of the UK car industry was knocked in......

it was all down hill from thereon........... :(

that is 'till Nissan opened their factory in Sunderland and Toyota did the same in Derby......

Yes I remember, did you get it?

No it needs some work to the drivers side sill (it looked sound until my screwdriver went through it when i had it up on a ramp and was giving the whole underside a good "stabbing") and also the drivers side door skin is rusting from the inside out (window rubber missing) looks like the bottom 4inches of the door are gone exept for the paint (i didnt want to poke to far as i had already removed the door cards/whole interior and put a 4" hole in the sill) i think that i will leave it maybe until after the summer when i hope to sell my mbike after that i can properly afford another vehicle (the recent good weather has inspired me to maybe get a wooden boat project cos my weldings cak and the duple OB taught me alot about woodworking)

As always with an old car that has been left standing there is more than meets the eye.
