This Toyota Celica GT-4 is a rally-bred modern classic performance car, with a professional inspection on file noting it to be an “excellent original example”. Power comes from a turbocharged 2.0-litre 3S-GTE inline-four engine, producing around 140kW and sending it to all four wheels via a five-speed manual gearbox. This example has been with its current owner for three years. The odometer displays 148,267 km from new. This Celica GT-4 was originally painted Medium Gray Metallic, but has been refinished in an appealing blue metallic hue, over a black and grey vinyl and cloth-trimmed cabin. It rides on an aftermarket set of 15-inch white-painted O.Z. Racing wheels, which are fitted with Bridgestone tyres. Equipment includes electric windows and mirrors, a digital clock, an Oyes radio cassette player, a cigarette lighter, a heated rear screen with wiper, and air conditioning. The car is fitted with remote central locking and a turbo boost gauge with boost control. The car will be supplied with its owner’s manual and two keys. sAn inspection carried out in 2022 gave this car a high grading of 4.5 out of a possible 5, with minor advisory notes, but with a faultless road test report section. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. The seller notes that the car had some paintwork two years prior to sale, which included removal of some minor dents and imperfections, and the lower panels were also repainted. Specific notes from the seller include: the roof and tailgate were not repainted when the above painting was performed, and they now show some light scratches in line with the age and mileage. Inside the driver’s seat has had a partial retrim, and two small sections of the rear seat backs have been replaced to correct sun damage. The seller notes that the air conditioning does not work, and the engine sump is wet. This Celica’s most recent maintenance was carried out in May 2022 at 145,382 km by Classic Automobilia. The work comprised of a major service with an engine oil and filter change, along with the replacement of the coolant, fuel filter, air filter, transmission fluid and brake fluid. The seller notes that during ownership the tyres were replaced, the OZ wheels were refurbished, and remote central locking and a turbo boost gauge with boost control fitted. The seller notes that the cam belt was last replaced at approximately 138,000 km. This Toyota Celica GT-4 is a capable rally-derived coupe, with a few minor modifications, and accompanied by a professional inspection report from 2022 calling it an “excellent original example”. The seller believes that it would be very hard to find a better example of the model in Australia, and it would now make a desirable addition to any collection of Japanese modern classics, and an eye-catching car show companion.
