1996 Toyota Paseo 1.5 provisionally sold

[Mad Max]

As title really. Good honest little car with time proven Toyota reliability. Tax runs out end of january (in cheapest bracket), but the MOT runs till the autumn. Its got a 1.5 16v and runs really well. Never let me down even through all the snow, all tyres have healthy tread. Central locking, electric windows, CD player, sunroof.
Anyway here it is...








Only for sale due to purchase of metro shaped coolness! As youre all such lovely guys and gals Ill take a decent offer as I could do with it gone. Only real bad points are a small patch of rust at the rear of each sill about the size of chocolate bar, only mentioned as an advisory at the last MOT but make of it what you will. Thanks for your attention!

Funny you should put this up for sale....I saw one of these the other day and just thought about how much potential they have. They are so 'invisible' on the road, yet look at that shape.

They were hated from the outset, never popular, never sold in any numbers, never really loved etc...

This makes them pretty rare and coming back to my comment about the shape of them...imagine it with a serious drop, some awesome wheels and splitter from something like a corolla, you've got yourself a full on Japanese tarmac terrorist. Unique, individual, super cool while being mega reliable and cheap to insure/tax & run.

Good God, I really want this myself now! (Sorry, I just can't due to having seven projects on the go LOL)

I hope someone else sees the awesome potential in this. I'd LOVE to see this underdog given the full treatment. I deserves it.

Any power steering on it cheers

Mystery Machine - Youre right thats partly what made me buy it in the first place! Ive seen them with MR2 turbo swaps! But the starlet turbo swap is the easiest. Just a lack of a lockup to do it in and the necessary funds of course! Not forgetting my lust for Austin Rover tin!

Any who Sideways1, yes it does have PAS. Very easy to drive as it goes!

OOO before I forget, its had a new font pipe and cat on for the MOT last year.

when I had a starlet turbo I found it to be a common conversion for people to convert these to turbo and fit these in their starlets, so they must be good engines!

whats the mileage mate, what are these like on petrol?

[Mad Max]

The mileage is about 117500. Sounds high but it is a Toyota! I commute throught the peak districts country hill tracks and I'm getting just the good side of 30 mpg, but given less vertical roads would prob be better.

[Mad Max]

Bumpety bump. Somebody anybody for 450?
