• Good points:

Low mileage of 145,119 kilometers. Which is only 90,117 miles.

Remarkably solid body & chassis. Run your fingers around the wheel arches & zero crusty areas. Sills are original & solid/rust free. The body lines are equal with no signs of accident damage.

The engine fires up immediately at a turn of the key, Runs smoothly & sounds sweet.

Interior is original (apart from the stereo) & in great condition. The carpet is 'as new'. The stereo is a Kenwood touch screen.

It has a stainless back box.

Boasts BC Racing adjustable coil-overs at the front. I'm unsure what the rear set up is..

Has a new heavy duty battery with 3 year warranty.

It was imported in 2006 & had been in dry storage between 12/12 to 12/21 (check the mot history). Which would explain the condition of the bodywork. 

The headlights pop up, go down equally & effortlessly. 

It benefits from having all new brake discs & pads.

All 4 tyres have loads of tread left.

The original & complete tool kit is present.

I previously had an import Celica with similar body shape & the same ultra reliable SW20 3GSE power unit. Which served me brilliantly for 8 years.

• Not so good points.

The suspension has been set up way to firmly (there again, I'm old)

For me personally. I find the exhaust is too loud (though it does sound good)

Power steering failed a few weeks ago. From my research, most likely a relay issue.

The rear fog lights don't appear to be working.

The stereo needs a new aerial to get proper reception. 

The plastic trim between the rear wing & base of the roof could do with a respray. The rear section of roof is satin black. Unsure whether it's been resprayed or part of the Glimited edition.

It has 3 small areas of surface rust where the paintworks been chipped. I have a colour matched tub of touch up paint included.

Would benefit from T cutting, due to faded areas (I did the bonnet & it looks brilliant).

Remember this is a 35 year old original classic. It's not concourse. But it is very solid. These are getting rare & the value is only heading in one direction & that is up.

I'm happy to answer any queries. And I'll consider all 'reasonable' offers.
