been there done that - Ive owned all the most successful celicas used in racing :)

Evolution for win ended with the 205 .. Toyota got too good at it and got caught being naughty :)

RWD versions has its place as classic admiration - the Gt4 4wd gave the celica its credentials as a winning formula for racing on a world scale..

just remember that :)

I knew the last 2 owners and it was quite well looked after by both.
The current owner i have no idea.

It was fully rebuilt and stripped panelled/painted by the one i knew first and was done very professionally (6-7 years ago ?? guess??)
The last owner changed the engine to the 3T-GTE which i believe was rebuilt at the time.

Overall a nice car ,with(by the sounds of it) a little work would be a very tidy usable car.
