Toyota TA22 GT

Have to say, I prefer the darker dashes rather than the false wood.........

Me too - will have to think of something to change mine.

Here's a UK brochure pre-74 facelift -

And this is one for the UK faceflift car; note shape of wheel arch lip -

"..and when it rains you can choose the speed the wipers work at. If it rains hard, they work harder".

Yeah - there's no ****ing intermittent though !!

Also found my original bill of sale - shame they didn't fork out the extra £86 for the 5-speed box

Saw the car again yesterday (found an excuse to be near the garage) and the seats, centre console and dash point to it being a GT. Next stage is to photograph it and the chassis plate.

Thanks Rob.

Any more news ?

Owner contacted me....and said that he wanted to restore it for his son but if things changed, he'd re-contact me - he lives 30 mins away !

I don't think that he'll get it restored either by himself or elsewhere and I think 'kids' of 18-20 are more attracted by GTis and over here by diesels than a old Celica - we'll see.
The garage guy said that the car wasn't too bad underneath - just the sills a tad and the door bottoms.

Wait and see but don't hold your breath.
