7shades Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 (edited) That is odd... definately import though... 4 door sprinter sedan with a 1.5... 5K? Did you see the front end? Did it have recessed headlights or the TE style flush mount ones... Check out the C-pillar it has the vent running alongside the chrome strip instead of the normal '70 vent. And thats the first time I've seen tail lights that wouldn't be interchangable with all the other *E7* series.. weird. Teddy.... where are you teddy.....

JiP Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Theres something about the angle of the tail lights that look mazda to me. It probably would have had the twin round headlights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Yet you can see it has Toyota Corolla on the right hand side of the boot lid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irokin Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Its a Ford Meteor/Mazda Familia. The 1.5L would be an original badge for the E5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiP Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Plus look at the light for the number plates. Not very corolla-ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesrolla Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 but it looks to have normal ke70 steel wheels and it has the sprinter on the boot, its definatly a toyota and not a ford/mazda, might be some dodgy thing like i read about some guys in other countries putting mercedes fronts and backs onto HQ holdens, who know what it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look up some pictures and see for yourself!! While they would fit they are not KE70 rims. They're just Mazda steelies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitephyre Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 I have to agree with everyone else and say it's just a Corolla from somewhere else in the world. It could have either a 5K or 3A-U, both of which are 1.5l Looking at the boot on the right hand side, those badges look very similar to the period [TOYOTA] badge. The rear lights, even with the angle on the side still have the E7 look to them, plus some countries did get the metal centre plate lights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Des Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 I want the number plate lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisandliz[RL] Posted February 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 it was a rolla for sure, just looked werid ;) there was a "TOYOTA" badge too. i was just wondering if any one could tell me "more" info than i can get from the badging. and if i see it again i'll flag them down. from the back/side view i got. "stoping at the lights" it had the early model front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiP Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Other things that aren't on a normal KE70 are the rear fixed qtr window isn't a complete triangle, the rear vent is in a differant location and is a differant size and there normally isn't a chrome strip at the base of the boot lid. Tho you do get people who like to take badges from other car companies and stick them on their cars... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Plus look at the light for the number plates. Not very corolla-ish. What do you mean they arent corollaish, As in they arent from that generation or they are not a corolla light, The AE82's had them lights.
