I had this mag 'cause the car of the year is the same as my Valiant. I was flicking through and came across this.

 

Where do I sign up?

Put me down for 2!

:jamie: Great find. When was this ?

Well the Rolla arrived in 67 so I would guess 68. Did I win?

Nup,

 

the article was December '67, so this would have been a mid to late 67.

 

I STILL want one. Has anyone heard of a KE10 S?

Someone a bit more fluent than me should write a nice letter to http://www.billbuckle.com.au/toyota/

 

asking if they have kept any info on them.

Boys,

 

I believe the article could refer to the Bill Buckle Corolla S a dealer modified Ke10. I bought one in 1969 came with ported and polished head, extractors, sports exaust, modified carby, bored venturi and rejetted, 1 1/2 inch lowering job with blocks and widened (5" Steelies). For there time they went like a rocket, brilliant little car loved it. I swapped the original carby which had a flat spot in it which was annoying as all get out with an adapter plate and a 36/36 Weber downdraught off a Fiat. Was not a great succes as the spindle in the thing was worn and it always ran to rich.

The thing would do a genuine 104mph flat out 7000rpm in 4th. I actually spotted one here in Brisbane around 15 years back couldn,t believe it.
