Bucket list car collection slot ticked off! Just bought this...
Feeling very chuffed! 1975 Japanese market Toyota RA25 Celica Liftback. Imported from Japan last year, running driving, with excellent bodywork. I’ll be it’s first registered U.K.owner. Just needs fettling and getting up to my personal standard. Unfortunately not a twin cam but is the 2.0l 18r, which shares a bottom end with the 18rg, so longer term I will be going twin cam with possibly ITBs to give it the punch I want. It also comes with some beautiful 2000GT seat covers with the black basket weave and Celica logo embossing, so I’ll be able to get rid of the plaid! Lowering springs and Watanabes are very likely, although I do like the original but skinny alloys.
There will also be a pair of short stalk Datsun 510 chrome mirrors coming up for sale once I’ve taken them off the Celica and put some proper Toyota style ones on!!
Hopefully taking delivery in the next few days once storage is sorted.
