Very rare, surviving, UK-supplied Celica notchback

Just three owners from new

A genuine and warranted 24, 300 miles from new

Unveiled at the October 1970 Tokyo Motor Show, the first generation Toyota Celica debuted as a two-door, notchback coupe with distinctive ‘coke bottle’ styling. Utilising the same running gear as its Carina sibling but in a smaller, lighter and sportier package, the newcomer was a strong seller in Japan and served as something of a halo model in North America and Europe. Better built than many of its rivals on the latter two continents, the Toyota was also an early adopter of five-speed manual transmission. Performance was class competitive and running costs admirably low.

This 1974 ST coupe was first owned by a Mr S. Lockett who left the car to the previous (and just second) owner in his will. The car was consigned to our 26th July 2000 auction at Buxton, where it was purchased as an investment by the vendor, and immediately placed into dry storage. Remaining static until our recent photography session, it has covered a genuine and warranted 23, 300 miles from new. Supplied by Portland Autos of Sheffield, this highly original and unmolested example appears complete, save for a single missing hubcap. A straightforward and sympathetic recommissioning project, ‘CWB 909N’ has been started and driven following more than two decades of slumber and is supplied with a small number of sundry spares in the boot.
