Description

Hi, welcome to my sale of a Toyota Celica T-Sport 190 (2002) 119,889 miles. I've had this car for 7 years and what a joy it has been to own and drive. It has been well looked after with full service history, 2 keys, lots of receipts and been thoroughly cleaned often. It's a real head turner. The car drives superbly and the engine is spot on, it is fast considering it is only a 1.8. Which is good for fuel economy and insurance. The VVTL-i kicks in extremely well and sounds amazing!!. The gear changes are super smooth and the car has zero knocks or bangs and very reliable. I've added a couple of tasteful mods which include, 18" Bola B1 Alloys, Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres all round with at least 4mm tread but offside rear is on legal limit on edge, K&N panel filter, Longlife cat-back stainless steel exhaust (slight leak central), Direnza 30mm lowering springs (ride quality can be quite firm over speed bumps), JDM Sports M rear spoiler, Maxi front splitter, Black side skirt extensions, drilled and grooved discs and 4 x mudflaps. Mechanically it has been very good, it had a leaking radiator in which it was replaced and a fix on the power steering cooler. Other than that there has been nothing else. There is surface corrosion on the rear sub frame which can be easily sorted with a wire brush and some Dinitrol sealant (I just haven't had the time to do it). All wheel arches are in excellent condition with zero rust. I'd say the only thing that let's this brilliant car down is the paintwork as you can see by the pictures. The clear lacquer has started peeling from the doors, mirrors and rear quarter panels. I've had the front bumper, 2 front wings, bonnet, rear bumper and the rear spoiler all professionally sprayed. It's just these remaining panels that need spraying. The car will come with 2 extra Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres with good tread depth and the original rear spoiler if needed. Dashboard is like new and the interior is in very good condition. The drivers seat has a bolster tear on the side. Factory fitted alarm and immobiliser. Fully working sunroof and air conditioning. Spare wheel. Selling after buying my dream car. Would like this car to go to someone that will cherish and enjoy it for what it is, as it has been brilliant to me. Next MOT due 4/4/2025. Offers welcome. Next MOT due 04/04/2025, Red, 5+ owners, £4,000
