A remarkably original and unmodified example of the iconic ‘AE86’-generation Corolla Levin.
It is powered by a ‘4A-GEU’ 1.6-litre twin-cam naturally aspirated inline-four, delivering 128bhp and 110lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual gearbox.
This Corolla Levin was originally delivered to Japan and has been in storage for the last 18 months.
EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES
This Corolla is finished in white with contrasting black bumpers, lower doors, side stripes and rear panel, and the cabin is trimmed in a combination of black, grey, and red cloth.
It rides on the correct set of 13-inch alloy wheels with Toyota-branded centre caps.
The factory specification includes a digital dashboard, air conditioning, and the original AM stereo with tape deck and graphic equaliser.
Included in the sale is the original owner’s manual, an original brochure, compliance certificate, spare wheel, jack, and two sets of keys.
CONDITION
There is no known bodywork damage.
The white and black paintwork presents very well, with only a few minor imperfections around the vehicle including some stone chips to the front end and a little degradation to the front windscreen surround.
No significant marks are visible on the wheels, and the tyres are reported to have a good level of tread remaining.
Moving inside, the cabin presents excellently, with only a small amount of discolouration on the driver’s seat.
There are no known mechanical or electrical faults, and the controls are all reported to work correctly.
The car’s most recent roadworthiness test was performed on 4 February 2020, resulting in a clean first-time pass.
