No reserve, currently £50!
In Wisbech near middle of nowhere by Wash.
This a 1988 Toyota Celica GTi 16 valve Coupe with only 2 owners from new and Full Toyota service history!! The first owner purchased the car from Brundle Toyota (the family business of F1fame) he kept it for 2 years, when it was purchased by its second owner ( a lady ) who owned the car for the next 16 years! This must be a pretty unique car( still fitted with dealer plates and stickers, original toolkit and the jack and wheelbrace have never been used!!) and almost certainly a very good investment for the not to distant future.
The car is in totally original spec,with the exception of an immobiliser.The paintwork is bright and shiney the only thing which detracts from this is that the paint has started to flake on a couple of the wheelarches (see Pics )and to be honest this looks worse in the pics than in the 'flesh'!! Sort this out and the car would look superb for its age.
The interior is probably as good as you could find with the only sign of wear being on the extreme edge of the drivers seat ( the stitching has worn, this would be an easy fix with a needle and cotton ). The carpets are very nice having been covered with Toyota mats from new.Headlining has no rips or tears with only dust staining on the sunroof.There are no splits or tears in any of the other upholstery.
The engine is Superb with no knocks, rattles, leaks or smoke and displays excellent oil pressure ( see the instrument panel pic ). ABS is in working order,clutch is light and the gear change is slick with no syncro problems.The alloys are the original but could do with a refurb,there is no serious corrosion on them and would look good if they were repainted.
I would welcome anyone who wished view the car before bidding,in fact I would encourage it as I think the pics do not do the car justice.
