The vendor describes this as a "like new" example, preserved to a very high standard

Original protective foil-paper wrapping retained on the spare wheel
Located in Poland
The car is not registered in Poland, but the seller notes they can register the car and secure a technical inspection if required

The Appeal

The fifth-generation Toyota Celica, produced from 1989 to 1993, represents a high point in Japanese sports coupé design. Lightweight, reliable, and endowed with a rev-happy 1.6-litre 16-valve engine, the ST-series Celica offered an engaging driving experience wrapped in sleek, aerodynamic bodywork that still looks fresh today. The 1.6 STi variant, with its five-speed manual gearbox, is a particularly appealing specification for enthusiasts who value driver involvement and mechanical simplicity.

This 1991 example, finished in white, is described by the vendor as being in like-new condition, with the headlights retaining their original factory stamps, and the spare wheel still wearing its original protective foil-paper wrapping. The odometer shows 15,201 km, but this is not warranted.

The vehicle is located in Poland and is currently unregistered, but the seller notes they can register the car and secure a technical inspection if required. For collectors seeking a well-preserved Japanese coupé from the early 1990s, this is an opportunity that warrants serious attention.
