some of these cars are 1 owner and with low miles low as 6,000 miles one of the 80's celica has only been on the road for 10 years since it was launched and then parked up in 1990 having only done 6000 miles...  The old chap bought a new celica from his local toyota back in 1970's, The car was so reliable that he fell in love with the celica. After that he had a great passion for the 70's celicas RA28 TA22 and the TA23 models and started his collection. After a few years he had build up a very rare collection which includes GT's, ST's, coupes and liftbacks.. One day he paid a visit to his local car auction where he didnt have a clue what model the Galant was but loved the styling of the body being a direct copy of the RA28 celica which made him purchase the GTO. (Only a few registerd on the roads of UK) one been in the retro rides club.  The old chap was driving them upto 1990  |

Also all the way through the thread i was thinking of Si yet id never even met or spoke to him.

You see on the cab of that transporter, it says CPR? I think that's what I'd've needed if I'd seen them at a motorway services!

I didn't know that you had collected them! , That transporter must have been an amazing sight!, I'd love to know what you paid for them all but I expect if you told us everyone would turn green with jealousy! ;D |
