E&C’s verdict:
Icon of Japanese reliability, the Toyota Corolla E11 is one of those cars that helped build the brand’s reputation around the world. Built to last, it embodies the “JDM (Japanese)” mindset in its most rational form: simple, robust mechanics and a driving experience with a 90s vibe.
Our example stands out for a rare profile: one owner (we acquired it as part of an estate), only 45, 683 kilometres, entirely original. Powered by the 1. 3 16-valve engine (code 4E-FE), renowned for its rock‑solid reliability, paired with a smooth and dependable 5‑speed manual gearbox.
Having just been serviced (complete timing belt kit, filters, belts, MOT), it needs nothing and is ready to hit the road for many years. Its Lavender Silver Metallic shade, fluctuating between light grey and lilac reflections, adds a discreet yet elegant touch, further enhancing its originality.
Versatile, economical, easy to maintain and robust, this Corolla is the ideal opportunity to acquire an authentic Japanese saloon that ticks all boxes: reliability, sobriety and the rarity of such low mileage. A real opportunity for anyone seeking a simple, sound car ready to cover many miles.
