Imported to the UK in April 1998, this fifth generation T180 series Celica is the ST185 turbocharged all-wheel drive version.

The car has resided in a private collection for a number of years seeing little recent use. It has evidently been well looked after and had a shed load of money spent on it, and although not all documented, some of this can be easily spotted with the hand stitched leather dash top, big bore exhaust and obvious engine mods etc.

Some however is documented, and suggests the car was an ongoing modification over a number of years, certainly from year 2000 onwards with invoices on file for expensive purchases such as lightweight 17inch OZ wheels in December 2012 costing £865, an uprated high flow 255l/hr fuel pump in July 2011 (necessary for running higher boost and more power), aftermarket boost gauge in September 2011, huge Tarrox 6-pot brakes with Kevlar pads in June 2000 costing £500, a Blitz de-limiter (revs), HKS oil pressure gauge, Timing belt change in 2000 and rather natty digital Race technology dash display and ECU by DC electronics in 2010 costing £673 along with lambda upgrade and M4 pro upgrade to provide data logging, advanced anti lag tuning and launch control in December 2012 costing £879.

Another note on file refers to titanium conrods, a single piece steel crank and upgraded Samco hoses being fitted, evidence suggesting that the car has been tuned – but to what extent, we are unsure. The vendor reckoned c.500bhp but without a dyno graph to prove it’s only an estimation.

Whatever you choose to do, a good tune-up and dyno run by a company in the know wouldn’t be a bad idea. The car comes with a history file including the aforementioned invoices, tuning product catalogues, 10 old MOTs, V5 and old style V5 and current MOT running to June 2020 showing a few advisories to consider, bar the one about a noisy exhaust – that’s what this car is all about!
