Vendor supplied images

Highlights

  • Engine rebuilt at 92,000 miles with receipt
  • Stamped service history up to 80,000 miles
  • Very good paint for its age
  • Solid body for an early Toyota

The Appeal

Introduced as part of the Toyota Genesis programme, the 7th generation Celica was a handsome liftback that was cost-effective, stylish, and with 190hp, more than capable of exciting its new target audience. Almost exclusively marketed towards young petrolheads hoping for their first sport motor, the Celica T Sport may not have achieved colossal success - but has since been rediscovered as a very potent modern classic.

This 2004 example stands out with its robust history file, and was subject to a full engine rebuild at 92,000 miles. That means the engine still feels as if it's done less than 25,000 miles, and is still every bit as charismatic as you'd expect the legendary ZZ unit to be. The body is solid, the paint is in commendable order - and from the engine to exhaust, it's an eminently drivable car.
