Toyota Celica GT, 1 of 788, 54k miles, £6k of mods. £6,995

[gstraw]

Unfortunately, it is with great regret that I announce, I have to sell my beloved celica. I just cant warrant keeping this car plus my 370Z. It really is a special car and the next owner will be absolutely over the moon with this purchase.

It’s a Celica GT in Chilli Red (1 of 121 made in Red), 54,000 miles and has had 2 previous owner. I’ve owned this car when it was just 11 months old directly from Toyota Guildford and have kept it ever since.

Bit of info around the GT versus other Celica Variants. The GT was made in the final year of the celica production (2005-2006) and was a limited production run with only 788 being made. It has the facelift 190 BHP VVTL-I engine and the car comes with some additional toys from the factory including:

• Tein lowering springs (30mm drop). These springs are linear and are ideal for racing or fast road use due to the predictable nature of them;

• Full body kit comprising of a front lip, side skirts and an adjustable Toyota racing Development (TRD) rear spoiler

• Fondmetal Tech 5 alloy wheels (Full size spare included too)

• Full alcantara front race seats with the GT emblem and rear alcantara bucket seats. Seats are finished in red stitching along with the doorcards

 

 

I have spent so much money on it, its eye watering, being the son of a mechanic, I have serviced the car myself every 6 months and every 18 months I have changed spark plugs, gearbox fluid and brake fluid.

The car is a total head turner so be warned! Jaws will drop, kids will ask for a rev, and other faster cars will be cautious at the lights because “it’s a celica I think, but it looks incredible and looks so fast†as one person once said to me!

 

The car also comes with the following modifications:

Performance:

1. Stage 2 cams installed by Se7en Motorsports- £750

2. Blitz SUS intake imported from Japan - £160

3. Toyota Team Europe (TTE) centre exhaust installed by Toyota - £1,000

4. Pollybushes added to help with steering precision – approx. £300

5. Short Shifter

6. Uprated Gear Shifter Bushes from rubber to brass

7. New front brake pads and disks with Dot 5.1 fluid - £300 from Automek

8.

Cosmetic

1. Full Focal system professionally installed at a cost of £1,400 includes Alpine HU with iPod control, K2 Power front speakers with tweeters installed in the A pillars and finished in genuine Alcantara to match the GT seats, 2 x Focal amps for speakers and for a subwoofer. Custom made subwoofer box to fit in the side of the boot with LED ring light that illuminates when the boot is opened. The subwoofer is from the K2 power range too. This is a serious system

2. Headliner, sun visors and centre console wrapped in genuine Alcantara - £250

3. Spats added to the rear of the car and a diffuser look - £500

4. Front end respray 8 months ago and since then I have only done 2,000 miles in the car. This cost me £600

5. GTR Headlights included with the sale! These are the ones I use in the summer because they use H1 bulbs which are not as bright as the OEM H7’s. Full HID kit provided too with 4,300k bulbs so looks nice and OEM. Lights and HIDS cost £350 all in.

6. Toyota Auris Gear Knob - £25

7. Fondmetal GT Wheels have been powdercoated in gunmetal grey

8. Alcantara arm rest cover - £40

9. GT badge on steering wheel

10. Custom GT and Toyota badges on the exterior of the car

11. Full tints all around. Dark on the back leading to light smoke on the fronts. £350

12. New celica mats added 3,000 miles ago - £50

13. Working rear tow hook

 

All mods of prices I have listed comes to around £6,000, let alone using the best of the best gear for all services including silkolene race oil

 

The car also have a private plate which is not included in the sale. I will get this removed before the sale happens. I am in no rush to sell this car and will wait for the right person, after all I should have sold it 3 years ago and just couldn’t bring myself to LOL.

The price of the car is £6,995 which is a bargain considering the low mileage and the mods I am selling with the car. If the car doesn’t sell as is, I will demod what I can and sell the car as close to stock as possible.

That's probably the first one of those that I've really liked the look of & some great mods (Focal stuff isn't cheap I know).

 

Cracking car & a great price imo. GLWTS.
