Browner Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) Just picked up this little beaut! I must say I really am delighted with this one! I couldn't wait to view it and just had to have it as part of the collection.It's a genuine 1987 Toyota Starlet Turbo S EP71. It is an extremely rare 5 door model, to the best of my knowledge the only one of it's kind in Ireland and the UK.It really can only be described as a very, very rare collectors item. It is not long in from Japan. It is very, very original throughout and is in excellent condition. It still has the original standard exhaust, original leather steering wheel, original wind deflectors and flare etc. I couldn't believe it but it even had the original floor mats and factory seat covers from way back in 1987! When I lifted the boot carpet to look at the boot well the spare wheel still carried the original paper tag!There are only 77, 484 genuine kilometres on it. There is a service sticker from Japan inside the door which reads 76, 900 kilometres so the car has covered very few miles since then.The car came with all it's original owners manuals etc...The car started first turn of the key and drove like a dream. It was very smoothe on the road with no knocks or bangs or funny squeaks etc. It still has the original TEMS adjustable suspension from factory.The interior was in totally mint condition not even the smallest of marks and under the bonnet was very original with all heat sheds etc present.The bodywork is very honest. It was never painted and carries all it's original stickers and decals from factory...Even the original speed warning jingle still works which plays a merry tune when you go over 100km/h. I must say I had some laugh the first time I heard it... I couldn't figure out what it was lol!Everything in the car worked perfectly and it was a real joy to drive and was very responsive and nippy.The car came in from Japan with 14" Jap alloys with brand new Kumho tyres which finished it off nicely.I must give it a proper clean and polish and clean the engine bay.Anyway I will let the pics do the talking for now...Original twin pipe exhaust...Original boot decals from factory...Original door stickers... These are reflective and look very cool in the lights at night when they glow in the dark!Original factory yellow tint headlights and foglights all working perfectly...Very low genuine mileage... Note these clocks are in kilometres!Inside the driver's door is a Japanese service sticker. The car has covered hardly any miles since then as you can see.Original TEMS electronic adjustable suspension...The complete original floor mat set front and back! The interior was very impressive...The seats were spotless... Maybe due to these original seat covers from factory. These are ridiculously rare, especially to have a full set for front and back seats!The boot carpet is very good...The original spare wheel still with its original tag from factory...!The engine bay needs a good clean but is all there...The Jap alloys it was imported with, still with brand new Kumho tyres...The car still has its original handbooks...I will keep you all updated of any work I do on her.Regards,Conor.
