The History

The Corolla you see before you is a clean unmarked example with a rare electric sunroof. It wears an Interesting private plate bearing the initials of the original owner (H15 BFC) a lady owner from Berkshire. She owned the vehicle from March 1991- January 2013. 
The car saw very little use between 2005 and 2013 when it was then sold with just over 40300 miles on the clock to the servicing dealer in January 2013. 
It was then acquired by the present owner in December 2014 with just 41500 miles on the odometer.

There are 20 service stamps present, complete with receipts for both main dealer and specialist services throughout the car's life.
Since 2014 under present owner, the following work has been carried out by an official Toyota dealer.

2014 - 2015: 
Toyota timing belt fitted @41523 miles; 
Toyota air filter + fuel filter + spark plugs replaced @ 41730 miles;
L+R front ball joints were replaced @ 41959 miles; 
The Front shock absorbers and springs were replaced @ 42080 miles; 
With the rear shock absorbers being replaced @ 42110 miles.

2018: 
L+R rear anti-roll stabilizers fitted @42845 miles.

2020: 
A new front windscreen was sourced from Denmark and fitted by National Windscreens vintage car specialist fitter @ 42938 miles. 
A new Toyota battery fitted in October 2020 @ 42930 miles.

In addition;
Oil and (Toyota) filter change carried out annually at the anniversary of MOT by the owner or official Toyota dealer.
The car is reluctantly up for sale to enable the owner to slim down his collection of Toyotas currently owned from 4 to 3, he is somewhat of a collector and knows these cars very well.

The Paperwork

All of the original Toyota documentation is present including the original owner's wallet. The car comes with a file of paperwork and receipts to back up its history, low miles and ownership.

The Interior


The car has spent most of its life with a single occupant owner therefore it's only really the driver’s seat that’s been used. All of the upholstery, carpets and door panels are clean and unmarked. As is the dashboard, boot carpet and parcel shelf. The front has electric windows and the central locking is also fully operational. The spare wheel well remains as new with the full original Toyota tool kit, jack and jacking handle fitted. 
The interior plastics are in great condition and suggest minimal use.

The Exterior 

Again, consistent with the cars low mileage and good history the paintwork is in fantastic condition with no visible damage to any panels. The fully electric sunroof is operational as are the adjustable electric mirrors. Five as new original Toyota alloy wheels with no damage or scuffs present. Very clean presentable engine bay with no oil or fluid leaks and the underside of the car is also very clean and straight as pictured.
There is one minor scuff to the front bumper corner (pictured) and the odd stone chip on the drivers side inner arch lip but that really is being picky on what is a fantastically clean 30 year old car.

The Mechanics 

The car goes as well as it looks, this is tantamount to the regular servicing schedule that has been maintained throughout the car’s life.
It sounds fantastic through the stainless exhaust and feels taught. The engine is revvy where it should be and the steering is responsive. The gearbox changes well and is a joy to drive.

The Appeal

Whilst the Toyota Corolla has been a popular car for generations and as such demand has meant it has been made in pretty vast numbers, they have also been popular with youngsters and in hot hatch mode like this one popular with those that like to throw them around a bit.

This then makes this very clean example the one you would want to own, the clean low mile, low owner collectible hot hatch amongst a sea of bland grocery getters. 

The car has very minor blemishes across what is an almost ‘time warp’ collectible. It really is that clean.

Being 30 years old now it's bordering on the cusp of classic/cult status and would be a sensible buy if you're into small hot hatch offerings from the land of the rising sun.

Come funzionano le offerte massime

Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.

Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.

Anti-sniping

Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.

Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.

Incrementi di offerta automatica

  • Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
  • Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
    • Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
    • Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.

Ammontare dell'offerta Incremento
Da £0 a £9,999 £100.00
Da £10,000 a £49,999 £250.00
Da £50,000 a £99,999 £500.00
£100,000 + £1,000.00

Superamento immediato dell'offerta

Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.

Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.

Offerte massime di pari ammontare

Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.

Pre-autorizzazione

Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.

Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?

Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.

Problema con l'offerta

Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
