Description
Welcome to the sale of my outstanding & rare 1987 Toyota Celica GTi-16. This is an original UK car in great condition ready to drive away and enjoy.
The spec for a 1987 car is great with 152bhp, 0-60 in 8. 5 seconds and equipment such as electric windows, power steering etc as standard.
It is 40 years old in 2 years so will be MOT & Tax exempt. The overall condition of the Celica is excellent, with only very minor marks on the bodywork and interior. Hopefully you can see from the photos it is a stunning car (and hard to believe it’s nearly 40).
Since I have owned the car I have had a full professional detail carried out including the application of GTECH ceramic coating.
What makes it even more special though is the huge amount of service history & paperwork that comes with it. You’ll see in the pictures that it was still being serviced by Toyota even when the car was over 20 years old and all the MOT’s, receipts and original service book are still present going back to the very first service in 1987!
I believe the car is completely standard with the exception of a full stainless steel exhaust system (which sounds lovely) and the aftermarket stereo.
It is also worth an MOT check on the DVLA website which will show that the car has passed its last 5 MOT’s without a single advisory.
It starts first time and runs perfectly with light power steering, light clutch, precise gear change and a fan that kicks in and out when needed. It has very clearly been well looked after for its whole life with some significant money spent over the years evidenced by the receipts and invoices. I have kept the car out of the elements in a dehumidified garage and run it on BP ultimate unleaded.
It has only had 5 previous owners from new.
I am based just outside Cambridge and viewings or inspections are welcome. I am looking for something different so a p/ x is unlikely as I am quite fussy about what I’d like next. Ultimately an outright sale would be my preferred choice.
Hopefully the advert, video and photos give a lot of info but if you do have any questions please get in touch. The history suggests the car was owned from new until the mid 2000s by the same person, with multiple receipts and invoices showing full Toyota servicing up until around 2003 when the car was 15 years old.
