Toyota Corolla T-Sport 1.8 VVTL-i 2ZZ-GE - 2004 - 6 Speed Manual
MOT until Feb 2027 | 150xxx miles | ULEZ/LEZ compliant
Runs well and has had recent work. Becoming increasingly rare cars, particularly rare in this 5-door, pre-facelift, dark blue combination.
High-revving 2ZZ-GE VVTL-i Toyota/Yamaha engine, shared with Celica T-Sport, Lotus Elise, etc in a subtle sleeper shell.
Hits lift perfectly with no unwanted noises. I've loved owning it and drive it daily. Drove between Edinburgh and London in the first week of owning, went great.

- Oil & filter
- Headlight lenses restored
- Cabin filter
- Brembo rear brake pads
- OE VVTI solenoid (from 60k Celica breaker)

Has braided brake lines but otherwise largely original.
Underside:
Good condition with no bubbling around sills or arches.
Bodywork:
Good overall with age considered, sun fade on the front bumper (see pic 7).
Interior:
Interior condition is generally good, no rips on the seats. Drivers foot mat some wear. Some climate buttons intermittent. Slight separation between radio and dash (see pic 9)
