Great buy! Can only echo Celestial's comments about how rare it is to see one with the early back lights. Even in all the years of JAE I can't think of many (any?) that have ever turned up there.
Would make a good comparo with a Violet SSS I reckon.

we might have to call you RiceMike at this rate if you buy much more J-Tin Nice buy. A mate of mine used to have one of them and he shoved a small block Ford V8 in it. That went. Wonder if its still about, not seen it in years (since the day he sold it in fact).

bloody heck, what a bargain!!!! Legendary, thats cheap. A mate has one, and I thought theyd be worth more just for rarity, but ebay ad, close to xmas (apparently!) + zero pictures = gamble - bargain. Star!

it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts

Blimey thats superb! I really like these Celeste's, never seen one quite like yours though! 9.4bn retro points for ordering a coilover kit in the time it takes most of us to walk around the car looking it over

Custard creams coming up ;D I may be stripping one of my other Sapporos tommorow, if I am I'll let you know as it's stored right next to the A14. It might be easier to meet me there and follow back to mine. Either way I'll see you tommorow
