This AE86-generation Toyota Corolla Levin is a smart yet usable example of the rear-wheel-drive Japanese modern classic. It is powered by a ‘4A-GE’ 1.6-litre twin-cam inline-four, driving the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. This Japanese-market car was subsequently imported to Australia where it is now offered for sale by its custodian of two years. The odometer shows 100,166 Km The AE86-generation Toyota Corolla Levin is finished in white with contrasting black lower bumpers, side flanks and wheel arches, over a brown and grey cloth-trimmed cabin with red and black interior plastics. It rides on 14-inch deep-dish aftermarket alloy wheels with white centres, fitted with Bridgestone front tyres and Goodyear rears. Equipment includes air conditioning, wind-up windows, a digital clock, and heating and ventilation controls. This example is fitted with an aftermarket exhaust manifold, rear muffler, lowering springs and front strut brace. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: The car has had some repairs to the boot floor and left-hand rear wheel arch, and the front right-hand wing is non-original, as is the black paint on the lower section of the car. There is a rust hole on the right-hand inner wheel arch, which will need a repair, and the paint has some imperfections. There is also some rust on the lower sections of both doors, which will need to be reskinned or replaced in the future. The rear seats have been repaired in the past, there is some sun damage to the seats, and the driver’s seat is torn. The seller reports that the car is mechanically very good and retains the original open differential, with an engine and gearbox that appear to be very healthy. He adds that it starts first time and shifts smoothly through the gears. The Levin is not yet unregistered in Australia, with the seller having bought it from Stacked Exports in 2022. It has been dry-stored since its importation to Australia. The vehicle was not listed in a Japanese auction so there is not the formal auction grade. However, the notes from the seller in Japan were as follows: "Complete car with no signs of abuse. Appears to have recently been given an overall tidying at minimal effort and investment. There are clear signs of the car’s age in places but in relatively good condition. Original front panel with numbers present indicating it has never been replaced. Corrosion and rust in the boot has worn holes through the body and amateur repairs have been made along the rear of the panel. Engine starts and runs with no problems though idles higher than normal. AC blows cold. Gears engage smoothly from cold. No clunks or knocking when driven. Power steering is light and doesn’t bind. Interior is complete and very good for age with only some commonly eroded plastics needing replacements." The service history is unknown so the vehicle may require some recommissioning prior to extended or spirited use. This AE86-generation Toyota Corolla Levin Coupe is a sought-after Japanese modern classic. Said to be in good mechanical condition; there are a few jobs noted by the seller to ready the car for a return to the road. The iconic model will appeal to marque and JDM enthusiasts who will appreciate the communicative chassis and eager ‘4A-GE’ engine on their favourite roads and circuits.
