1966 Toyota Corona RT40 -UPDATE-

Well after a week of over 1000miles of picking up car parts etc, I went to view these oldies last TUES way down in Bournemouth & after hearing the story of the owner I was saddened, I did see both cars advertised by the 'executor' online initially.

He sadly passed away a good few months ago & strangely he had no relatives for inheritance, he ran a car showroom and had a good few old school cars. I was only interested in parts initially but when I saw the 2 Corona's at his house parked up in a barn dry stored before being taken out so I did a deal (the cars were currently mega over priced) but I managed to get an excellent job lot deal :-)

So here are the 2 cars... The RT104 was used till early this year, only 2 owners inc the current owners father... No MOT or TAX...but plenty of paperwork
The 2nd the RT40 a 2 owner car and dry stored since 1984, only 2 owners :-) again partly stripped but all parts with the car, and to my surprise there was a boot full of new genuine parts, lights, light surrounds, door seals, external trim.. wow some rare bits ;-))))

Cars arrived finally back in Manchester today & during that trek I got a Cresssida RX30 which has been stripped and an abandoned Resto Project which I'm selling & a one owner car from new :-))

So all in all a busy week and a hell of a lot of parts and 3 cars..... whilst picking up some 2000 air filters, oil filters & fuel filters, I came across a barn find of some more old school cars, but the only Japanese was a Mitsubishi Pick Up 1979.... :-))
