One thing I must ask you mate is where the hell did you find that black steering wheel? I can't find that, the 98' spec interior or corolla mani anywhere haha Ive tried eBay, scrappys etc but no luck. Yeh the Starlet is my second car as well, I use my 306 most of the time and only do about 50 miles a week in the starlet, Im super OCD with it, far more than I have been with other cars I've owned strangely.

Hi mate, yep that's the plan! Looks wise she is staying complete original, but with a few handling tweeks underneath and a corolla mani in the engine bay. I'm also going to change the interior as I can't stand the standard granny spec one it's got haha. Body work is fantastic! No rust and solid underneath, the old lady's husband cleaned and polished it regularly so paint work is in great Nick as well, I honestly still can't believe my luck. Yours is lovely mate, what's the mileage at now? I completely agree good examples are now being advertised at £1600-£2500, I can see these being worth a small fortune in 5 years time.

Haha! it was the most intense half hour ever, I just wanted to hurry up and get out of there before she changed her mind or something. Ive seen other SRs with 100k on them up for £2000! Its my 12th car, I previously had a red Civic type R and currently also own a remapped 306 HDI which I use as my main daily to keep the mileage and wear and tear down on the SR, I do miss the power of the Type R but the starlet is still a lot of fun. I had no idea how rare these had become and being an 18 year old it does turn a lot of heads.

Hello everyone, first time Starlet owner! I wanted a starlet years ago when I was 17/18 but never happened, but now at 25 I saw this black SR for sale not long back and I just couldn't resist. The car is almost immaculate, just 30.000 miles from new! FSH, cambelt recently done and long MOT, completely original and unmodified, still has the TTE back box and springs. I bought it off an old lady who had owned it from new and only ever popped to the shops in it, the rear seats and front passenger seat had never been sat in. I bought it for just £450!!! I pretty much threw my money at her Sooo I've already under sealed it, replaced the decals as they were badly faded from the sun and put on some clear indicators. I plan to keep the car looking almost original, plans are: Future proofing Refurb alloys and get body scuffs and marks cleaned up 98' spec interior Corolla inlet mani Panel filter Uprated leads and plugs Possibly front and rear strut braces and adjustable panhard rod Here are a couple of pictures (hopefully) I am new to forums altogether so not sure if these will work Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thanks guys! Completely new to forums altogether, this is also my first starlet. Was nice to meet you a couple of weeks back mate and nice to see another starlet!

Hello from Portsmouth! Recently bought myself a black SR, anyone else in Portsmouth? Any other SRs round here?
