Its a 1982 Corolla CS and Has Extremely Low Kilometres Log Books and everything The interior is very clean except for the back seat which has a few tears UPDATE***** i just took off the old sheepskins, and underneath the seats look brand new!! *** Car has some surface rust but its fixable The engine is a 4K, with an Auto Box I am hoping for a conversion, but we'll see and the rear bar needs to be pop back to be straight again Edited March 12, 201214 yr by lplater Report

It has genuine low kilometres (160,000ish) just needs a good tidy up "...this is my second car. My first was a SW20 mr2, but i sold it and got this..." Don't get me wrong, i'm a big fan of KE70 / AE71's, but WHAAAAAAA??? M int looking KE though :wink: lol SW20's have their strengths and weaknesses. mine was a 1991, so it didnt have a beams engine.. but yeah, sometimes you have to sell your 'baby' in order to get want you want. it just happened to be that i loved KE's more....

March 12, 201214 yr comment_590041 Your photos look much better than the ones on the ebay listing, rc member chichbra had this advertised on here I think. While having the MR2, older cars have more character so I can see why this fitted the bill. If you decide to remove the black rubber body moulds, please let me know :) Looks like its in good hands :y: Report
