On a programme called "Primeval" - not sure exactly what it is but it was on in the background, but part of it was set in a scrap yard and there, say with no wheels was a fairly neat looking red 185! Poor thing.
If mine dont start behaving it will be joining it!!
Seen that. Best place for it really.

Could sit on top of yours. 8)
EVERYBODY knows that the 185 is nothing more than a re-bodied 165. It was a marketing ploy to make the Celica more attractive to the limp-wristed brigade who were afraid of the 165s manliness. ;D ;D ;D

I don't know how you can hold your head up after basing a car on, above all things, a can of..................
Irn Bru.
Oh the shame.
I thought the 165 was the release they did based on a design envelope, before they'd finished the design process ? Sure doesnt look like a finished article to me ;D

Then again by your own admission you don't know about their rally heritage and so are biased against the true greatness of the 165.
No no, you miss quote me - I said I never bought one because of its rally heritage, not that I currently have no knowledge of it - get it right ;D ::)

Bazza - possibly, yes! The Four (Especially the CS) epitomises how I like cars to look (not how I like others to see me, as some people assume) and further investigation found it to be more interesting than just any old attractive car. I was 10 when it was rallying, I had no real following of WRC until later in life. TBH though stuff like scoobies have rally heritage too (to some degree), as do Lancias - but I'd not buy one of either of those! :)
Celicas were never a WRC they were group A
Again, I never said celicas were WRC, just that I didnt follow WRC (and hence read into the rally heritage) until after I bought it. Keep trying ;)
there was a group b celica though.
And a group 4 but both were RWD.
165 was first AWD.
165 was the 1st awd celica, though not toyotas first attempt at an awd rally car.
Group S doesn't count as it was essentially a prototype.
Took you long enough to go off and find that one. Group s was the intended group though this was limited to 1200cc engines, the car they developed ran a 2000cc so would never have been a group s car, it would have been a group b car except for the powers to be dropping group b in 1987. And the car was?
Mk 1 MR2.
correct mate. Would have been an animal if it had made a rally.
