Celica is owned by the guy I bought it off. There was a slight bit of rust marking which I chipped the underseal away on the sill and the metal was clean so I've treated it and reapplied the underseal. Underneath it's like brand new, I think it's been garaged most of its life as there's not corrosion at all.

Stunning. Don't think I've ever seen a non Wedgwood launch car. Beautiful.

That's what I thought, especially with the Neptune interior.

Hi Jordan,

Your car's VIN does not appear in the list of dealer launch cars which are all Wedgwood Blue and did not have the SE designation.

Why do you say it's a 'dealer launch' out of interest?

I agree with Simon its quite an early car but doesn't have the right pieces to make it a dealer launch car.

Lovely looking car though.

Having previously owned a car of near identical spec and a T reg, what is it missing?
