re japi · December 28, 2015, 03:22:28 PM

Actually, it seems like it has Starlet nose and Corolla rear

Tercel, what, that was a nasty FWD thing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!,

O, come on, it can't be that difficult, you already know its a Toyota

Mind you its probably rare now.

Just as well I didn't ask you to guess the running gear

As for Japfest, yes already booked the track sessions for the race car so hopefully it will have a good run after racing at Donnington the day before

Well, that car look really weird

This quiz is quite hard...

Yeah, Tercel is/was awfull looking Starlet with FWD...

Yes, wohooo! Finally I can see that beast!!!

Had to google that one as I had never even heard of that one---------------- turns out that in our speak "its a Corrolla"

I raced against a successful one of those but it wasn't the car I was racing,

Nope, OK last clue----------------circa 1975/76 , it didn't actually have a name, so its no good looking at google listings

boosted · December 28, 2015, 07:12:28 PM

thought i was onto summit then ...rear window looked identical to the 1 i googled....
mmm !

re japi · December 28, 2015, 07:35:46 PM

Yes, rear window, C pillar and boot looked like Sprinter, which was first gen Corolla, I think body code for coupes was KE15 and KE 17... KE10 was original sedan version...

But had three strikes so IÂ´m out

OK, lets put you out of your misery seeing as no one got it

.

boosted · December 30, 2015, 11:11:46 AM

ha ha i never would ive got that! yours looks very different apart from the rear window!

re japi · December 30, 2015, 03:37:53 PM

What a h**l is that???

I have never seen that. I had to google it

IÂ´m sure that we never got those...

However, we did have pick up version of that. We call it Toyota Timangi (roughly translates Diamond) They are very rare and wanted nowadays. Long time ago I had opportunity buy that, with AE86 tuned (around 180 bhp) engine, gearbox and diff. It was too expensive...
