The plus
Reliable, stylish and steeped in rallying DNA, the Celica ST182 is one of the best coupés of the last 40 years. These cars offer a highly rewarding driving experience and their durability makes them ideal both as everyday vehicles and sought-after classics.
This is a beautiful example. Its recently redone paintwork is in good condition, adorning a car that has benefited from extensive mechanical maintenance in recent years. The list of works is exhaustive and documented in a thick history file: cylinder head gasket, power steering system, timing belt, rocker cover gasket, brake discs, gearbox fluids, fuel pump and clutch system.
Beyond its reassuring origin, this car has a particularly attractive configuration. The discerning eye will notice the bonnet and bumper replica of Carlos Sainz. Less obvious are the perforated and ventilated discs, short springs, 16-inch gold wheels mounted on Yokohama tyres, and the Momo tulip steering wheel. It's even equipped with a modern Bluetooth/DAB audio system.
This example of the very popular ST182 is particularly attractive, underlined by a Technical Inspection valid until November 2029, obtained with just one minor remark.
