Description
Good morning,
I am selling a very unique Toyota model in absolutely wonderful condition.
The car was sold new in Norway, had a good life and apart from proper treatment and service, it also received some very sensible and tasteful changes (all reversible if there is a need to return it to its original, factory condition).
Apart from the signs of the passing time the bodywork is flawless, both from the outside, inside and underneath. Everything is original, well-kept and clean. It has a few chips or scratches/ tiny touch-ups here and there, but these are natural traces of 40+ years of use and are so minor that there's nothing to talk about. Probably some panels has been painted in the past but it was done well and long time ago. Not used for sport – only for tourism and historic rides.
The photo of the bottom of the door is representative for the overall condition of the body.
Mechanically Toyota is fully functional, the engine works as Japanese masterpiece - quietly and smoothly, without any hesitations. Dry as pepper. The engine is equipped with two carburetors and an accessory exhaust manifold - the seller estimated that the current engine power is approximately 110 horsepower. I think it might be right considering how the car drives but I haven't measured it. It starts with half turnkey and purrs really nicely.
The Toyota is equipped with a 5-speed gearbox, which means that speeds of 130 / 140 kmh are not a challenge for it. The original and functional 4-speed gearbox is included with the car. Just like the original steel wheels with central caps (although these would probably need to be renewed).
All other original parts are also included (see last photo). It has an original steering wheel from Luisi accessories, slightly tinted lamps (original clear set with the car), a fully fitted and ready-to-install set of widenings and many other original gadgets from the era.
I removed the set of extensions (it was wisely glued not drilled into) because I like it better this way. I have photos with the extensions, it also looks badass. A set of mounting screws is also provided if someone decides to drill and permanently install the above-mentioned set.
Accessory rims + aluminum spacers from Toyota - experts do not need to explanation on the rims.
Toyota underwent a complete service, including:
- Engine oil and filter
- Oil in the gearbox
- Oil in the rear axle
- New rubbers for the entire rear suspension
- Adjustment and tune-up of carburetors
- Thorough interior cleaning
- Accurate verification of the bottom centimeter by centimeter (no need for intervention)
- Many adjustments, lubrication and attention to both technical and visual details
She required nothing more, period.
The bottom of the car was not painted with any strange substance, so the factory condition is clearly visible. Didn’t see much winter I guess. No comments.
The inside of the car is a beautiful example of Toyota's quality - despite the car is over 40 years old the interior looks like it has 5 years. Soft seats, beautiful carpeting and plastics that are delicate to touch + perfect fit are the hallmarks of Toyota. Everything works softly, quietly, and ventilation (thanks to the tilted rear windows) is great. Blue factory glass allover.
The original radio is included. Someone very wisely installed new one in the spare board (also the original ones), so returning to classic playing is a matter of 2 hours of work.
It's hard to find this model in Europe today, so well-kept and maintained. I guess this Toyota guarantees many years of trouble-free use in the future. I am sure that the car will reach its new home anywhere in Europe without blinking an eye.
I have been playing with classic cars for many years, I enjoy these cars and I treat it as a great hobby. I will be happy to answer any questions - please contact me.
Whatsapp is also available. I speak English so you can call me as well.
The car can be viewed in any weather conditions, of course after prior arrangement.
For those interested, I have a link with over a hundred photos, I will be happy to send them to you.
Bought for myself. I'm only selling because I have a few other cars on the way, I'm developing a hobby and the garage isn't made of rubber - nor is the time or budget.
Basic legal data:
1. The car is considered a collector's vehicle and has been exempt from excise duty for EU
2. VAT was paid in accordance with EU import law
3. The car has a set of Norwegian registration certificates with servicebooks
4. Polish inspection for a year (normal, honest technical inspection, not stamps from your brother-in-law)
7. If necessary, I can organize safe transport to any place in EU or outside – subject to a quick discussion.
Great car, rare and so nice looking.
Regards
