Description

Offered for sale is an exceptionally well-preserved 1988 Toyota Celica GT-Four ST165, one of the most iconic homologation-inspired rally cars of the late 1980s.

Delivered new in Italy in 1988, the car remained there for many years before being imported into Germany, where it was carefully maintained. I am the current owner in France and the vehicle benefits from a documented and traceable history.

The car currently shows only 84,120 km from new.

Finished in its original red colour, the bodywork presents beautifully and has been professionally repainted in the factory-correct shade. The overall condition is outstanding and faithfully respects the original appearance of the vehicle.

The interior remains completely original and is remarkably preserved. The seats, dashboard, door panels, carpets and trim pieces show very little wear and reflect the low mileage of the car.

Mechanically, the car retains its original 3S-GTE turbocharged engine and permanent all-wheel-drive system. The vehicle starts, drives and performs exactly as expected. No modifications have been made and the car remains true to its factory specification.
