2004 Toyota Celica T230 VVT-i

Winning bid
£4,000

Highlights

  • Extensive history file reported including original sales invoice from new and original dealership sales brochure
  • Seller advises 17 service stamps 
  • Comes with three original keys, original dealer keychain, and original Toyota aftercare membership card
  • Professionally undersealed and garage stored over winter during current ownership
  • Front alloys professionally refurbished
  • MOT valid until July 2027
  • Will come with a fresh oil and filter service

The Appeal

High revs, agile dynamics and tidy styling made the Celica's T-Sports specs an immediate hit. The close-ratio six-speed manual gearbox, front-wheel-drive persona and innovative VVTL 'lift' system make for a car that focuses on handling and fine-tuned driving rather than straight-line speed records. It's the perfect car for the dedicated petrolhead, and continues to garner plenty of admiration.

Accompanied, we're told, by an impressive reported service history - covering 17 service stamps and a ring binder of paperwork and invoices - this car is a fine, well-cared-for example that's ready and waiting for its lucky new keeper. As these charismatic little coupes often found difficult lives in the hands of enthusiastic drivers, it's quite the treat to see one that's so well-kept!

With a valid MOT until July 2027 and a respectably low mileage, this car ticks plenty of boxes.
