Toyota Corolla 1. 3 GL

Regrettably selling some of my classic car collection due to space and time.

This Toyota is in unbelievably good condition with absolutely zero structural rust. The underside is immaculate, with factory paint still on all the original suspension components and no rust on the body. The entire exhaust system is original Toyota and completely unblemished, and the sills are perfect with the original spot welds still visible.

The exterior bodywork has a few minor issues, the most obvious being the passenger front wing and door being a different shade of red to the rest of the car. The front bumper has a small scrape, and there's some surface corrosion on the tailgate as pictured.

The interior is completely perfect, with no rips or tears in the seats and no broken plastic. The dashboard has no cracks or any signs of cracking and everything works as it should. The original spare wheel and tool kit are present in the immaculate spare wheel well also.

Mechanically this Toyota is fantastic (it is a Toyota of course), and pulls as well as a 1. 3 with a single carburettor can do. The clutch and timing belt were replaced last year and I've just replaced the valve stem seals which cured a slight smoking issue (we are talking 33 year old rubber bathed in oil here!) so this car can literally do no wrong.

The full book pack is included, and had a fresh MOT and service in January this year. The car sailed through the MOT with no advisories too. Mileage is a genuine 79600, but this will go up slightly since I'm still using the car.

The equipment list isn't vast, but this car does have power steering, central locking, rev counter, 5 forward gears, auto choke... and that's probably it.

I'm not bothered if this doesn't sell since it's a good economical car with exceptional reliability, but I'm being sensible and I really don't need it. On this basis though, I'm really not open to offers since I doubt you'll find another one in this condition for the money.

Apart from the radio, this car is in totally original condition and I would rather it go to someone who would appreciate its originality and keep it that way. It's not fast, but it's not meant to be. This is a comfortable, dependable little car which gives some interesting looks from passers by! Before the previous owner, I'm told this car was in the same family from new and was laid up for a few years, but this has helped preserve it so well. The first thing it needs is waxoyling to prevent any rust from starting, but I simply haven't had the time to do this.
