    hi, i bought my Celica a couple months back for $5000 AUD which was a bargain because it had only done 45000 genuine km's the reason for this is because it was owned by an old lady who had a stroke and since then it sat in a garage for like 20years and the son inherited it but didn't want it so i bought it off him its 100% original and the interior is like brand new still having the display sticker 2d denso still on the dash and quarterpanels amasingly enough it still has the stock tyres from 1988!

    That is a major find!

    If it is a white lightning - please put up some close-up pics of the side graphix, interior ASAP
    From memory the white lightning has white striping/bumpers etc?
    Check those tyres & hoses for cracks

    Oh, and welcome to the "family"!

    Kevin, welcome to Celicalitus world!

    That is truely what dreams are made of, a real gem of a find. Mine also belonged to an old man, myself bi=eing the second owner. Was that engine bay as clean as that when you bought it. Loved the stereo and the headrests, love EVERYTHING on your Celica!

    Thats great, are you planning to mod it? It"d be ashamed I think to start messing about with such an original car. Did you put the Chuck Norris sticker on?

    Do you know what the mileage is in "Miles?" Also how much do you think it would be in UK sterling for the price of it you paid

    kevind Well-Known Member Donated!

    um 45000km = 27961.7 miles and 5000 AUD = 2801.43 GBP hope this helps

    Thanks Kev! Thats is an amazing mileage and the price is a bargain!! Mine had 48,000miles, cost £3,200, back in 2000.

    I have a sister in Australia. She"s in New South Wales, about 1 hour from Sydney. Whereabouts are you?
