Description

3.0-litre V6, manual.

This impressive Toyota Celica ST coupé is a facelifted second-generation model, registered to its latest keeper since 1988.

Under the bonnet is a 3.0-litre Essex V6 engine, fitted in the early 1990s and breathing through triple throttle bodies.

The car's bodywork received a colour change from its original green to the present metallic blue in 2002 and it appears tidy all round, testament to its years of enthusiast ownership.

The comfortable interior features white leather, green carpets and a tinted sunroof, while the exterior is equipped with a stainless side-exit exhaust, a modified bonnet and genuine Minilite wheels.

Security is provided by a Gemini alarm system and a steering wheel lock. The car comes with a huge collection of invoices starting in the 1980s and going up to 2020.

These are accompanied by Mo

T certificates from 1990 onwards, old tax discs, a workshop manual, and previous and current versions of the V5C which show only 4 former keepers.
