Title: I cut my Four in half :O
Post by: capman on June 13, 2008, 01:38:49 am
Well not literally, but after selling the Sainz last week its had me looking for another Toyota as i really did warm to the 3 Celicas i've had, and i've had circa 100 cars through my hands over the years from buying and selling.

Viewed this on Saturday and checked out the driving position to make sure my prosthesis didn't interfere with the steering wheel or pedals, and surprisingly given the sort of car it is, it was fine so went away had a think about it and put a deposit down the next day (the dealer even came to my house to collect it, as i wasn't able to get up to pay it myself ), then he delivered it to me tonight.

I need to wait to get it adapted with a left foot accelerator, but am chuffed to bits with it. Its not often i would car mint as to me cars are only mint in the showroom when new, but this is really in excellent nick, perhaps the best condition car i've ever owned. :D

Its a '91 G Limited T-Bar Automatic. It wasn't what i had in mind as my next car but when it came up for sale literally down the road i was interested immediately as i don't think i've ever seen another Mk2 Auto for sale in Northern Ireland. I paid a little over the odds for it as i know autos fetch a lot less than manuals, but i am not too worried given that its in such brilliant order. ;D

These are the pics from the dealers website, will get better ones up once i have it detailed and someone who is handy with a camera.  :D

yep, need to get it adapted first (£470!) then sort out insurance and tax and thats me back on the road after nearly exactly 3 years. Once i get that sorted and when funds allow, i'm going for the border kit and maybe lose the spoiler and add a snorkel, maybe even two!

You'll have to get a look at it when it done as i'll be having it on Bangorcruise stands at the shows, might not be till late this year though as money is very tight at the minute. :(
