Description
Brief
Viewing by appointment only.
Here we are very pleased to offer this stunning and original Toyota Celica GT-Four for the second time.
Often over looked, the GT-Four presents superb value for money when compared to its natural rivals, such as the Escort Cosworth, Mitsubishi Evolution & Subaru Impreza.

The spoiler raisers were not fitted/ optioned on this particular car, we did consider fitting a pair of spoiler raisers but we have opted to leave the car exactly as it was delivered to the original owner.
A car which is ready to be added to any collection.
History
Refreshingly, this Celica GT-Four has superb service history.
13 qty Japanese service sheets accompany the car, showing that the Japanese owner cherished the car, having the car regularly serviced & obviously loving the car looking at the cars condition.
Along with the service history are the original booklets.
The car was graded a very high grade of 4. 5B in Japan.
When the car previously arrived with us in the UK, we carried out a full service, including the all important cambelt.
Plus we cleaned the underside which is in splendid condition.
To finish we cavity waxed all box sections/ chassis rails/ sills & then we of course detailed the car throughout.
Since then the car has been in a private collection with a regular customer, stored in a heated garage as part of a selection of very special cars.
Body & Paintwork
As can be seen clearly from the pictures, this car presents very well indeed.
All paintwork is original having been checked with a paint depth gauge.
A fresh detail has really helped the yellow paint ‘pop’, with no swirls or marks to mention.
All badges, glass & lights are original items in good condition.
The only change to the exterior is the addition of a dealer decal on the rear bumper.
Interior & Trim
As per the exterior, the interior is in very nice condition.
All seats are superb, the original Toyota Celica carpet mats are still in place & all switchgear works as it should do.
All trims are in good order, the carpet is free of any damage & this extends to the boot area too, which looks as though is has never been used.
The steering wheel, gear knob, pedal rubbers & handbrake lever are all showing very minimal wear.
We believe it would be hard to find a comparable original example of a GT-Four.
Engine
The Celica GT-Four was no slouch at all, coming out of the factory with around 240bhp (in the mid to late 90’s) & having scope for easy tuning.
This put itself ahead of the Escort Cosworth factory power output & the rivalry would go on for many years to come.
Even today, the GT-Four feels adequately quick enough for a standard car of its time.
This example is without any modifications, presented exactly as Toyota intended.
Fully serviced by ourselves within our workshop facility, you can be sure this car wants for nothing & is ready to be enjoyed should you wish.
A lovely quiet engine on cold start, with no smoke either on idle, or when on the road.
Smooth performance through the rev range without any hesitations.
The engine bay itself presents beautifully.
Running Gear
As you would fully expect, being a fresh Japanese import, which has then been cleaned underneath by ourselves within our workshop facility, the running gear & underside condition is absolutely superb & original.
