Re: 2 new project cars
Love the electric Mk1a, i restored one of those around 10 years ago... stuck some Alleycats on it, looked stunning. I should add the customer chose not to keep the black bumpers etc.
Looking forward to seeing what you do with that one mate

Re: 2 new project cars
Last time I saw a Mk1 in that blue and in that good condition was JAE 2006 I think. I wonder if it's the same one.

Different registration this is the one at JAE 2006,
1985, 24,000 miles, it was totally original, full Toyota service history from the same dealership it was bought from, 2 owners and garaged all it's life. That one was mint

Looks good in the pics. If you need a new aerial, £40 from Toyota.
