My Toyota Celica GT Four Carlos Sainz

[Bob Loch]

Here's a fairly rare car these days, my Generation 5 Celica GT Four Turbo Carlos Sainz edition. One of only 440 imported in to the UK. Mine is in first class condition and is cheap fun, turbo rush is strong and handling is fantastic. Toyota reliability built in, car is completely original in and out (except the Rays alloys)

Insurance for an old codger like me £197 from Performance direct, late forties has it's advantages!!

Cheers

Very nice. A hell of an engine in those. Had the same in my MR2 turbo.

[Butter Face]

Very cool. I would like a GT4, just got a 2.0 GT and liking it so far!

[TheHeretic]

I'd have an urge to put some 5 spoke compomotive wheels on there. Nom nom.

What's going on with the NS indicator repeater?

What colour is it?

Did all of the UK market cars come with sunroofs?

Cool car, I had a white Carlos Sainz. Had a nice surprise too when I opened the Haynes manual "trackday guide" xmas eve and saw me and my Carlos Sainz had a full page spread inside!!

Get yours upto Fensport, needs 250bhp to be the car it should have left the factory as...

[Bob Loch]

Near side indicator has a habit of "popping out" must get that done!

Gunmetal grey standard colour, sunroof standard fitting.

Tuning would be nice but would ain't got the funds right now.

I Absolutely love these, Following with interest.

This is my 7th Celica since I bought my first one in 1987, a 2000XT model.

Hope to post more as i get some money to spend on it.

[DouggyMc]

I like that a lot!

[Mastodon2]

Really cool cars. I looked into getting one when I was shopping for a Jap car, I ended up in an EP3, couldn't find a good Carlos Sainz Edition on sale in England, Scotland or Wales at the time, there seemed to about 10 on sale in Ireland though.

Always fancied one of these, much more interesting alternative rally car to an impreza or Evo.

I only ask as I've been looking at them myself.

[F1GTRUeno]

They always were a pretty shape, this one looks lovely.

Did you forget to mention the exhaust as well? Surely something that size couldn't have been standard.

What were the original alloys?

[crazy about cars]

Really nice to see one in that condition Well done!

£192 for insurance is that monthly or yearly? :P

[LaurasOtherHalf]

Very cool cars back in the day, my old mans mate had one.

A bit like the Impreza was when it first came out-you really had to know your cars to know just how special it was back then



+1 about a nice set of compomoyive MO's on it or something

[Don1]

That is lovely.

[johnyboy1976]

Think grey is best colour for these

[shalmaneser]

Was just reading up on this car on wikipedia and found out that the small circular intake on the bonnet is for cambelt cooling! I had literally no idea this was a 'thing'! You learn something every day.

Nice car, although I think I'd change the wheels for some 5/6 spokes for a more rally look!

[Bob Loch]

Yeah, exhaust tail pipe is rather large, been like that since i bought it, will be changed in the future. Sounds good though.

£197 fully comp, my postcode and my senior years makes all the difference and they mirror your NCD from my BM.
