Corolla coupe

[pompei]

A hundred years ago when I got my first mortgage I sold my 127 Sport and bought a push bike and a beat - up Corolla coupe. (JAT 64 N) It had been painted in two tone green and yelow with a matt black Starsky and Hutch stripe. I had to replace the driver's seat with something from a limo, which meant I sat too high. The bonnet skin came detached at 70 mph on the M1, which was not good for the aforesaid seat. I fixed it with a couple of cupboard handles screwed to the bonnet and elasticated ties onto the bumper. I once had four punctures in a week whilst on holiday with my then (v understanding ) girlfriend. Ah, happy days. Somewhere there is a picture of it , but I don't know where. I've never seen one before or since. Anyone here got any pics?

What year was it born in? This was mine for about a year, a 1969 KE15:

This one appeared in SLs Portugese thread a while back Pompers - is this the jobby (KE25??)?

That looks the one! Though mine was horrible with the bottom half of the body in grass green, the rest in yellow and the black S&K flash. The rear lights were different to that red one's, and the front looked very 120Y- ish.

Just Googled KE25 and came up with this page:- mine was the SR Hardtop - pillar-less with wind-down rear windows!http://www.cars-directory.net/history/t ... olla_runx/

Damn, nice one. Get it back!

[mouseflakes]

I've lost myself now

 

Was it a KE35?

 

 

Doesn't help that the 30 series ran alongside the 20 series Corollas for a while - Billy Bonkers!

Look what I found in Chiang Mai yesterday!

 

 

Hadn't noticed any of these here before, but E20, E30, E40, E50 and E70

models aren't rare.

 

I'll stick some more angles on my thread later. I suspect it might make

"Catch of the Day"...

 

(I won't start telling you about the turquoise one with the snorty 'zorst that

we followed on the ring-road in the evening, you wouldn't believe me.)

Looks pretty solid, and excellent wheels!

DOH!

I didn't remember, and none of you clocked it:

 

 

I posted this one a week or two back. I asked the owner of this if I could

get a snap in Tesco's car park, and I complimented him on how smart it was

looking. (That bumper looks a bit big, though.)

So all three that I've seen are in really good shape.

 

Haven't found one in green and yellow yet...
