Saw this on ebay and was very tempted:-

I've always loved the Gen4 version of the Celica, after all I have owned three of them before. After I bought my first one I was really impressed with it, even though it was not a GT4 or a turbo, but I was seduced by the Gen5 with it's smooth curves but soon discovered it was a load of c**p handling like a saloon car compared with the Gen4's very sporty handling. I soon went back to another Gen4 with some relief. I have to say I am not at all keen on ANY of the later Gen's especially the latest one.

 

I saw this one whilst doodling in eBay and, as I said, was very tempted even though I would not have got rid of my Zed (which is still my favourite car). I also have a family car, a Mondoe diesel estate, and could not really justify a third car BUT, I WAS tempted..............what do you think of Celica's (not the Supra) and which of them is your favourite Generation and why?

I thought I'd post up a few pictures of my last Gen4, just to whet your appetites :hyper: I even bought a personalised registration for it (my initials are 'DJK'). Sorry, pictures are too big to download and I don't know how to make them smaller!!!!!

My favourite is the latest one with the four round headlights. The one before with pop ups was ok too but they're all probably raped by now.

 

I'd definitely consider a GT4. Very nice cars.

Hmm... bit 80s for my tastes, although a good car by all accounts. I have a good mate who used to be really into Celicas and had a gen 4 which he was very fond of. Only thing (I'm told) you have to watch for is rust because the body panels aren't galvanised or something, but the one you've linked to looks pretty clean. There was a right shed of one outside the YHA in Cambridge the other day: three (!!) flat tyres and rust all over the place, particularly round the wheel arches.

Yes, I am aware of their rust problems, which is the main reason why the gen4 is getting increasingly rare. But if you can get hold of a good one and look after it I am convinced it will become a classic in the future and be worth a lot of money!
