Remember these love the styling. I owned a 1600ST with a 5 speed loved the pillar less doors and the little wind down window in the rear great looking car at all angles. I always aspire to get a 2000GT. Mine succumbed to the rust worm and was beyond repair but today there value is going up❤
Later in the 70s, this model Celica won in class at the Bathurst 1000 driven by Peter Williamson. Fitted with the world's first in-car camera in 1979, so lots of footage of the Celica.
Really like the US muscle car-inspired look of these, some attractive designs on offer from Toyota around this time. Turning to the price list, a base model VW Beetle (1200?) came in at £995 on the road at this time. I can remember the adverts. So exactly the same price as a basic Toyota 1000. By no means cheap but fair value considering what you were getting, which is pretty much where Toyota has always been. Nothing wrong with that at all.
My late Uncle had one of these new in yellow - a GT I think. It was a very nice car indeed. When you think about what else was on the road in 1974 wow it was a super stylish machine. Thanks for showing the brochure. Have a merry Christmas.
I do like the look of these. They are nicely styled cars. I like that dashboard, too, as it looks really nice and reminds me a bit of a Ford from this period.
Malipayong Pasko, Stephen! Happy Christmas from me watching on Christmas Day in Cagayan de Oro City Mindanao Philippines. The early Celicas were beautifully styled. I have to admit that my favourite Celica was the liftback that almost looked like a mini Mustang. Some of the Celica liftbacks in the early eighties also were very interesting. Keep safe and warm there in Manitoba Canada.

A friend of mine had one of these as a hand-me-down from her father.
She drove it like a scalded cat, and she was utterly beautiful.
Merry Christmas
This is a good one for Christmas Eve. Great looking car.
Lovely looking cars. I'd go for a yellow one as well.
I also liked the 1985-1990 model Celica with the pop up headlamps.
It reminded me of, a little Dodge challenger rear . Very good looking .My 626 coupe , from 79 , also had 5 speed
Nice looking car for it's time, interesting to see the price list with complete Toyota lineup at the time.
