Overview

The GR Yaris is Toyota at its most single-minded, a properly engineered all-wheel-drive performance car wrapped in a compact three-door body, and the Circuit specification is the one aimed squarely at the keen driver. This 2021 example takes that foundation and runs with it. It's a tastefully and comprehensively upgraded, fast-road build finished in metallic black over bronze forged BBS wheels, with the signature forged carbon-fibre roof overhead, and it's a genuinely striking thing in the metal.

Crucially, this isn't a car that's been modified and had its identity stripped away. The development has been carried out by two of the UK's most respected GR specialists, Litchfield and String Theory Garage, and every original part has been retained and is included with the sale. That matters, because it means the next owner inherits a thoughtfully sorted fast-road car with the option to return it to standard whenever they wish.

Presentation is a real strength. The metallic black paintwork is glossy and well kept, the bronze BBS wheels wear fresh rubber, and the cabin has clearly been looked after, with strong GR detailing and red contrast stitching throughout. With fewer than 12,000 miles indicated and a documented service history behind it, this is a Circuit that's been used as intended and cared for properly along the way. Simply put, it's a coherent, honest and beautifully turned-out example.
