NOW RESERVED FOR NEW OWNER - OTHER UP TOGETHER GT-4 (ST185 OR ST205) WANTED

Motodrome are pleased to offer this amazing, highly modified and very quick 1989 example of the world rally championship winning Toyota Celica GT-Four, this one the very rare R, or Rally model

The GT-Four Rally was introduced as a competition-based version of the normal GT-Four, which meant is was lighter and quicker. To achieve this, electric items such as electric windows and mirrors were changed with manual parts. ABS was not available and the narrow body model had no sunroof, fog lights or rear windscreen wiper. These changes made the GT-Four Rally 40 kg lighter than the normal Four. This one is a very early narrow-bodied car

Prepared as an evocation of said championship-winning cars and fitted with lots of TTE (Toyota Team Europe) replica parts, this one really turns heads, and goes like the wind.

Exterior spec includes
• 7x17 ET47 OZ Roulette alloys (fitted with a near-new set of Toyo Proxe tyres)
• 4mm rally style mud flaps
• Fibreglass replica Carlos Sainz bonnet
• Fibreglass replica TTE lamp pod with 4 functioning auxiliary lamps
• TTE replica door mirrors

Interior spec includes
• Recaro SR3 front seats on bespoke runners
• Momo Competition steering wheel
• TRD gear knob
• Extra gauges in centre console for boost pressure, water temp and oil pressure
• Being Veloce spec, there’s no electric windows, central locking, stereo etc

Mechanical spec includes
• Engine rebuilt December 2022 so barely run in, mapped for a reliable 300hp rather than outright power. Please refer to our own website for full engine and mechanical spec details
• Hybrid turbo
• E152F close ratio gearbox


Odometer reading 176000kms, and it’s a really early production ST185 GT4 that came to the UK from Japan in 1998. The last owner, who’s had it since 2018, is the MD of a well-known competition preparation specialist, so as you might expect it’s wanted for nothing in his ownership, although the massive history file we hold would indicate that’s been the case since it came here.

Last serviced at 174113km at the end of April 2023, and, whilst it currently comes with MOT to May 2024 (with no advisories) we’re happy to supply a fresh 12M MOT on sale.


If you know your JDM cars you’ll recognise how special this one is

Our website goes into far more detail regarding the mechanical spec etc, so if you want to know, that’s the place to look.

On our own website, you’ll find our usual comprehensive video package, which forms part of the description
