Always loved these, rare too. It seems people often don't know what they have though. One was local to me and for sale on a silly Facebook page for £1000. Low mileage and great condition (probably) I tried to buy it but was snapped up quickly.

I saw my first one of these at JAE last year and fell in love straight away

Awesome car mate!

I've wanted a BZR or even a Levin for a long, long time! (AE111 or 101 not fussed). Absolutely adore them and I certainly appreciate them! Regularly toy with the idea of going to rescue one from Ireland. To me they are Toyotas answer to the ITR.

If you ever decide to sell, please get in touch, it would look very at home next to my mr2 turbo!

Yes I could pick one up in the UK, but they all seem to be ruined.

Please do get some more pics!

I did briefly own an AE101 silvertop but didn't feel ready to move on from MR2's.

I had one of these, I can highly recommend getting some trumpets on the throttle bodies, they sound fantastic.



The spec on them as a standard car is fantastic. Easily the best handling car i've driven. Those Recaros are really rare, very nice.

Really liked these when I was living in New Zealand, which was full of Jap imports - small, light and agile with a great mechanical spec. which would have suited me down to the ground.

Instead I ended up with a Mazda 323F while I was over there and sold it when I came back to the UK.

Haven't seen any 20V Levins in the UK since I returned. The nearest equivalent here seems to be the Toyota Celica 190...
