I've just rang up about this, very tempted to buy it: Its a 1000cc starlet, old lady owner job. It lives on the fuggin Cote d'Azur!!! I doubt its wanted for much during its life and I am prepared to bet its absolutely 100% free of any trace of rust. However, collecting it would be a proper epic mission involving planes and hotels. What price would it make in UK? Obv its left hand drive, but I thought if it is scooped up be a tarmac racer/drifter/rally nugget that would not put them off too much. I bet its simple to convert to RHD if youve got a dash/rack lying around from a rotten starlet.

starlets are starting to get ridiculous, stick it on mini lites, some big carbs and flog it to ireland for loads, there was one on ebay recently that went up to £10k.. ok it had been tinkered with and had nice paint and stuff, but still didnt warrant the price.

Mr. plums, of all the Starlets to find the early bug-eye is the greatest, you simply must buy it, you will fetch ludicroud prices if sold to the right person, especially if in such good nick.

OK i'm buying it! 300 euros. plus another 200 for the flight and petrol for the 500-mile drive home! That should see it landed at my house for about £350. Fingers crossed!

The green Starlet was mine and the guy picked it up last night payed no probs and it went to Ireland. I think he would be very intrested in the red one I've got his number if your intrested. By the way the spares are now on ebay and I've most if not all the parts to convert to RHD

As for the guys number, i'll hang on till I've got it back to base in the UK, which will be about 4-5 weeks I think.

Mrs Spottedlaurel claims that as mine is a 5dr it's only worth £8.......
Welcome to the accidental Starlet Owners Club Mr B! As I've found with mine, they're an absolute hoot to drive, I think you'll be impressed.
Not sure if I got wrong end of the stick, but do the early ones have same 114.3mm PCD as other Toyotas, including later Starlets?
