They do make fantastic daily drivers too - I used mine all the time over the summer (5,000 miles!) and averaged 30-35MPG (I know I can get 500 miles out of a tank, if I really try). Its the door sill mouldings and the door body mouldings which let it down after the previous owner respray job, but surprisingly everything is bolted on very well.Ĭlick to expand.For what it's worth, yours is the closest to a show car I've seen in the UK. I'm fortunate to be able to find one in near mint condition. I tried to order a cambelt from Toyota but they had to get it from Japan so I'm going to use a Blueprint part, they come well recommended. Fortunately I used TCB in Cornwall where they had a second hand one in good condition. I needed a front pipe exhaust and couldn't get a new one from anywhere, not even Toyota.
KING UNDER THE MOUNTAIN CELICA MANUAL
It runs on 205/70/14s, but it also states that in my manual as well as the 225s Being in the club helps me out a lot, a fellow enthusiast is going to give it a full service including cambelt. You should try and get to our annual meeting in Northampton in August every year. Mine is not a "Show car", I do intend to use it as an everyday car, but if I can avoid the rain I will, but if not, I definitely will dry it off once inside the garage.īeing a member of the Toyota Enthusiasts Club, there are at lest 3 mint condition Supras, one of them is a restoration. Congratulations, you got yourself a bargain for three grand! :thumbsup: Keep it in that kind of condition though, these machines are so rare it's fantastic to see another one worth worshipping. This country is far from ideal for one of these cars! They'll spend most of the year. Has it got the correct-size tyres? 225/60R14.Īlso, a word of warning (from personal experience!) - don't let this car sit out in the rain, especially as yours is so nice, water collects in the sunroof and tailgate and eats it away. Welcome to the world of rare-car ownership (DVLA shows just 98 still registered, 20 on the road) - head-turning, car shows and impossible-to-find parts I recommend, if you have any money left over, stock up on parts NOW.
It's absolutely beautiful not just the interior, but the engine bay - how on earth has it kept so clean?! Then again, mine's white, so the slightest spec of dirt shows up glaring! I recommend painting your cam covers to complete the image. I'll echo what Supraz said, in this cllimate your machine is immaculate, probably better than mine (and I was quite happily thinking mine was the closest to showroom left in the country!).
