I'm sure my father used to fix these when he was a mechanic in Hong Kong.
Nice to see them.
I always welcome old Japanese cars.
BTW, what's a KE25/ TE27? (engine denominations, my guess at least?)
Also, some of the old Corollas were RWD right?
Fanatic
Yes they were until the (very) late 80's.

That's when they ended with the AE 86?

My best friend had owned the 74-78 variant, the third one. it's more known as the sprinter. he would race it against eighties variants of Lancers and ford escorts.

Yep. The last RWD Corollas were the AE86-gen models. Even then, only the hatchback Corollas had RWD.That's when they ended with the AE 86?

Yeah, the high demand for them probably makes it the more expensive to buy now then it was 20 years ago.

Definately - Takumi tax is well and truely in effect in australia.
However - These cars, (AE86) are the modern day classics, and in the future will only appreciate higher, So In reality, finding one and holding onto it and keeping it stock as possible - you would only be gaining a future asset. one that could very well be worth 10 times what you paid for it in 10 years.

which is frankly ridiculous, considering the amount of other light RWD econocars available from the same period, it's not like the AE86 is particularly better looking either - although still cheap, the cheaper, a just as light, just as rwd datsun or gemini is the smarter buy imo.
although the TA celica's are getting expensive tooshame, i hoped to pick one up cheap some day, especially after seeing one with a V8 at the japanese classic car show
