October 13, 201511 yr comment_700706 So currently residing in my home country of South Africa for a while. Of course my current demographic area will change the options of classic cars compared to Aus. But Corollas , this place has plenty ! The great thing about finding/hunting for classic cars in this country is that we have large cities inland very far from the sea's salty breeze and humidity. That is where this story beginnings in a city called Pietermaritzburg. I posted an ad on our local Gumtree looking for Corollas,Datsuns,Cressidas and boy was i offered some nice stuff, 1200Gx, Mx32's, and many many Ke70/71s but one stood out, A Red Ke70 , 1 owner from new , and paper work and I mean ALL the paperwork. The documents from day one , the fuel he filled up on day one to drive it home 100km's away and he filled up again to check fuel consumption. All the service receipts. I was shocked! He then informed me of his occupation, being document control in a local hospital which made more sense as to why everything was documented and filed neatly.

This country is bonkers about the 1uz similar to Aus about 10 years ago with Sr20 it went into literally every project car. Report
October 15, 201511 yr Author comment_700749 So first week using the car , only have had to push start it like 4 times ? Is a bitch to start when warm guessing plugs and battery is on the way out so you get about 4 attempts at starting it before it doesn't have enough juice. I forgot how this car rattles at 120, Ive been spoilt a bit lately in terms of comfort with my Nazi land barge 528i Report
