New old rag rop shite.....

[kinkersaab]

Been after this for a wee while now. The call came today. Been sat for a good few years, chap has owned it for 17 years. Jump started it and drove it home. Pluffy exhaust , scuffy brakes and a bit mouldy. Otherwise spot on. Eveything worked,even the 4 ws. Not sure of its a keeper or fix up amd sell on. Gotta be on their arse prise wise at the moment.

[Jim Bell]

Fwar. That looks canny.

I didn’t even know these came as a convertible, the roof off really suits the shape!

[Dick Cheeseburger]

I was just about to comment that I bet it’s a slushbox. Then I saw the interior photo. For some reason, 99.99% of the convertibles are two pedallers.

 

It looks pretty tidy for a car which has been sat for a while. I used to own a Carlos Saints GT4 Celica (gen 5 - same shape as yours) and values have risen steadily. Even the standard NA couples are rising in price - I still reckon they’re aesthetically spot-on considering they were designed almost 30 years ago.

Yeah, agreed.  They look like dogsegg with the roof up though.

"Pluffy"....a new addition to the Autoshite lexicon...........and extremely onomatopoeic...

[Cavcraft]

Defo a future $$$$ earner that one.

 

 

​It's fucked M8, £100 tomorrow

[Aston Martin]

Automagic? Wow.

[taxi paul]

Yes definitely not worth anything . I would be doing you a favour at £200. Even then I would be losing money. It's not like it's a desirable spec or anything. People want something more modern now you see.

[kinkersaab]

Cheers chaps. Its was £500 as it sat, so was pleased it started and seems to be ok. ....... Will update once cleaned and roaded.

You can’t not like pop up headlamps

[Pat Earrings]

That is gorgeous. Genuinely envious of you right now.

[LessThanEqual]

JDM YO! Love this shape Celica.

[Guest Hooli]

I never these came in skip form either, looks pretty good too.

I don't think I've ever seen one of those ever! It's beautiful, proper summer water!

[Saabnut]

This is actually very tidy after a good clean. Don't think it would be for me, but can only go up in value shirley?

[kinkersaab]

all spruced up now. will mot monday. pics added to kinkersaabs collection thread

[mitsisigma01]

Any updates on mot and things ?

Looks lush

[J-T]

I really like this shape Celica and the previous ST162 (I think?). Were the convertibles officially sold here, or were they all imports?

[kinkersaab]

Yup, all mot'd and a good few hundred miles under its belt with no drama. Mrs ks has claimed it so i only get to use it when she isnt... She has also fallen for the allegro, so is alternating between them....

[RoadworkUK]

Shame it has that 'Convertible' decal.

 

Eliminates the mystery of why it doesn't have a metal roof.

[stuboy]

looks handsome

[mitsisigma01]

Why would somebody park this up for a few years .... did it need much to get through mot ?

When's the roffle ?

[stuboy]

saw a newer one at hospital today

Indeed.

So right, perhaps subliminally reminding us of an excited female? Or perhaps just a puppy waking up and wanting to play.
