1972 UK Toyota Celica 1600ST TA22 Flat Light 49,000 Miles!

*** Open To Sensible Offers - Try Me! ***
This is my stunning 1972 Toyota Celica 1600 ST in original colour of Turquoise Blue. It is an early car known as a "flat light" due to the shape of the rear light clusters with the fuel filler on the rear panel behind a flap. Later series 1 cars had re-designed "bubble lights" with the fuel filler on the near side rear pillar.

This is a matching numbers car, backed up by the original service record which shows the engine and chassis numbers. This confirms the car has it's original engine.

The car has covered a mere 49, 000 miles. The Cobra slot mag alloys were fitted by the Toyota dealership from new, which is a very cool touch.

This is an original UK car and has been garaged all it's life. It was given a full Ziebart rust prevention treatment from new which has helped the car survive so well.

The first owner had the car from new in 1972 until 2001. The second owner had it until 2022 which is when I purchased it. The second owner knew the car from when it was new as well.

This really is a beautiful car and very rare these days as any Toyota enthusiast will tell you. It's very rare to find a car that is a survivor and hasn't been restored from a rust bucket.

Although I live in Cornwall, the car is actually stored in a high quality classic car storage facility in Gloucestershire in climate controlled conditions and kept on a trickle charge. If you would like to view the car, your trip will be to Gloucestershire rather than deepest Cornwall, so for most people, not quite so far to travel.

There is a large history folder with the car, which is always a bonus. This includes the original service book and original owner's manual.

The black jollop under the bonnet is actually the original Ziebart treatment. The original paint is underneath it and this can be cleaned off by the new owner if you prefer the original factory look. The chrome sill trims were removed many years ago to prevent them trapping water and causing the usual rust issues.

PX possible but only if it's something I like : )
Happy to chat about sensible offers, so you never know : )
