For sale on eBay, this 1979 Toyota Celica GT 2.0L RA40 Liftback is a rare and iconic retro classic, first purchased new by the seller’s father from Rowlands of Sittingbourne. With just 75,000 miles, it has remained in the same family since new, carefully garaged its entire life and never left to rot like many others of its era. Mechanically, it runs and drives beautifully, holding great oil pressure and engine temperature, with everything working as it should. As a 46-year-old classic, it is now MOT and road tax-exempt, but a fresh MOT has just been completed, ensuring it’s road-ready for the next owner.
The paintwork would benefit from a good detail, and the interior could use a deep clean, but overall, it’s in exceptional condition for its age. Recent work includes new tyres, refurbished brake calipers and clutch cylinders, fresh oil and filter, new spark plugs, and rear brake shoes and cylinders, with all fluids replaced. A truly stunning 1970s Japanese classic, this Celica GT is a rare opportunity for collectors or enthusiasts looking for an original, well-preserved example

It is a 46 year old classic so please take that into consideration although if you know your classics you will see this is a great example.
