I met a recovery truck this evening with a retro car on the back. It was 70's Toyota Coupe, I think, it was the local Toyota Dealers truck!! The only distinguishing feature was that the rear lights were vertical with the indicators curving in line with the boot lid, any ideas?

I think it might be a Toyota Mk2/cressida (30 series)?   |

 Carina? Those Cressida coupes are so badly proportioned - what were they thinking? I really want one though! ;D |

Yeah it sounds like a Carina, as shown in Rmads piccy.
Its a TA40 '70-75 Carina. We only got them as 4 doors here. My dad actually had one, it was the car he picked me and mum up from the hospital hours after my drop.
And thus the Japanese car fixation was born....and I really want one. I saw one in a scrapy about 8 years ago and I'm still kicking myself in for not buying it.

I had a really clean mk1 sierra two door that was poo brown. I put a 2.1 pinto on twin 45 webbers in the front, cut the springs in half and left the 13000 badge on the back.. it was still curse word but at least it was sideways curse word!

I,m hanging my head in shame, I'll Never buy an unfinished project which I don't like from a friend in the hope that it'll make a few quid, I didn't like novas but I thought some young G-boy would buy it after a tidy up, I ended up keeping it for three years cos it was just so cheap to run, handled well and would do 110 all day! but thankfully I stuffed it and the spell was broken. I'm now suitably embarased and will beg forgiveness for my sins.

We had a 2.0 GL Sierra in poo brown, some genius decided to make it 2 tone and spray the bottom half beige.
It did a nice job of covering the rust ;D

I saw a mint one of these at a show in Finland in 2001. Prior to that I'd never really noticed how cool they are...     I was in Norway at the beginning of this month and took some pics of one sat in a field. Unbelievable condition..it had no rust at all and there was no damage to the interior whatsoever! I'll upload the pics and post them. -Eddie |
