1974 TOYOTA CELICA LIFTBACK. 5 SPEED MANUAL / 1600 INLINE 4 2T-C / 103,000KM / TAX & MOT EXEMPT The year is 1974. The turbulent Taish-era in Japan had given way to the prosperous Showa-era, And Japan was in the midst of a boom, People were enjoying the exciting times that ensued, Stacks of bills were exchanged in a flashy manner, Ladies danced wildly on the stages with fans in hand, Toyko was at the epicenter of technology advancements, And expensive items, such as real estate, securities, precious metals, and luxury cars, sold like hotcakes. At the same time, Toyota Motor Corporation announced a new ultra-sporty coupe - The Toyota Celica. Orders flooded in.. and when you are the original sample of a new species you become classic the day you are born. The Celica was years ahead of its time and thus.. time cannot touch it in a violent way. It remains classic and eternal at the same time. So, If you always swear by British Leyland, then you might want to look elsewhere and if imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Ford Detroit may face to the east and take a deep bow, for the inscrutable oriental gentlemen of the Toyota Motor Company have immortalised the once-dominating American automotive symbol of youth in genuine Japanese sheet metal. You're looking at the 1974 Toyota Celica TA27 - Draped in Toyota 338 Copper Metallic - she is the perfect example of the 1970's personified. Powered by a gorgeous sounding 2T-C Inline 4, 1600cc Manual 5 speed. Since importing, I have replaced the top mounts with new ones, new window seals, dual exit stainless exhaust, fresh rear trailing arm bushes, and various other tasteful additions like wheel spacers just to make her sit a little more aggressive. She fires up first time, every time.. And drives beautifully. The car pulls well in all gears and stops extremely well under braking. Steering is nice and tight. The mileage is currently on 103,000km, Registered as a historic vehicle so she is MOT and TAX exempt. There was no history with the car from Japan which is not uncommon. With the car, I am also including a period correct front chin spoiler and a spare set of seats ( front & back ). And the original Celica steering wheel. FIRST TO VIEW WILL BUY. SHE IS AN EXCEPTIONAL EXAMPLE. LOTS MORE INFORMATION / PHOTOS AND VIDEOS UPON REQUEST.
