Heres my new car, my 96 paseo si. Car was colchester toytoa demo car then had 1 private owner for 15 years till i just got it. Full toyota history on it. Bit tatty on outside but mint inside and completly stock. Even has original sony HU (well just put my one in lol ). Even had a toyota service in april this year which included 4 new michelins all round!!

couple pics:

Car had a small feature in Classic cars for sale magazine as the editor was going to use it as a project car but they ran out of time to do it. i got it with no MOT but it sailed right thru.

All in all great little car and keeping me on the road with lower costs than my previous mr2 turbo !!!

my only problem is the car feels like its holding back in the mid rev range so may need to run some cat or injector cleaner thru it. Anythinf else i can check for on the car ? no engine managment light at all ?!?!

Very tidy motor mate! Spotted this one on FlickR photographed by a chappy on there at a classic car show. How did you find us?

Also, the 5efe doesn't really like to be revved. The 1.3 4efe from the Starlet can take a hammering whereas the Paseo's 5efe can't. All Paseo's ive driven (quite a few now) are all the same. It just gets flat after the first few thousand. Still, has get up and go!

What are your plans with this one? Keeping it standard and mint?
