PLEASE EMAIL - I work night shift
Recently imported 1983 Toyota Corolla Levin. Originally from Hiroshima, Japan where the fair climate has preserved the underside of the car unlike our roads here in the UK! I have performed the entire import process from start to finish, meaning it is now fully road legal and registered with the DVLA. As it's now a classic car (40+ years old), it is MOT and tax exempt, however it has passed an initial MOT as part of the registration process. A very clean example, however there are some stress marks on the inner corners of the fiberglass bumpers where the paint has deformed due to flexing. That said, as you can see from the photos the paint is overall in great condition especially for a 40+ year old car. I would absolutely recommend coming to see the car and getting a proper feel for this piece of Japanese history which is only increasing in value as good examples get rarer. Mileage (km) will increase slightly as I take it to shows; the next one will be Japanese Performance Show in Telford.
Work completed since advert went live:
Driftworks uprated Aluminium Radiator
HKS Super Coolant 'Touring'
Toyota OEM thermostat
Lucas Semi-Synthetic 5w30 engine oil
HKS Oil Filter
Bosch FR78X spark plugs (old ones were a nice biscuit brown)
Exhaust gasket replaced between cat and mid pipe which fixed an overfuelling issue due to incorrect o2 sensor reading
New, firmer exhaust hanger rubber 'donuts'
Machine polished both doors, front wings, rear quarters and ducktail
Replaced front wiper blades
Secured driver's side headlight which had started to work loose
To do:
Exhaust is blowing a little at its lowest point just before the backbox. Currently debating whether to buy new HKS Hi-Power for ~740 GBP with a month lead time or get welded and repaired for considerably less
