After four short years, Toyota chose to retire the fifth generation of the Corolla prior to the arrival of the ubiquitous front-wheel drive models
The retirement did little to abate the car's popularity but with a shortage of original Irish/ UK-spec cars, demand exceeds supply
Hard to find in UK-spec, this good looking example is finished in New White set off by a fresh set of Minilite alloys
Powered by the legendary ‘4A-GE’, all-aluminium, 1. 6-litre, 16-valve, twin-cam engine that seems to rev forever mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox
We understand that it's been fitted with a full Janspeed exhaust and lowered springs and was with its previous owner for 22 years
It's covered an indicated 101, 214 miles supported by a substantial history file including the original book pack with owner's manual, service records, model brochure, V5C, Irish Registration, MOTs and invoices etc.
With so many AE86s succumbing to rust and hard lives, this super example presents an opportunity to enjoy or simply admire nostalgically as values continue to firm
