another retro toyota starlet for me

[LastMinuteMotorsport]

just picked it up today, yet another starlet to grace my garden
1.3 DX 5 speed, 30k miles from new, still has the 1984 tax disc, interior is BRAND NEW, owners manual etc in the glove box, I'm lovin it it even still smells like 80's toyota showroom inside. paint a bit tatty but all the necessities are there, including the original irish red/black reg plates and chrom rain gutters

Keeping it original? Orig Irish plates is a nice bonus!

Sweet! has it taken a bit of a knock on the N/S front wing?

[LastMinuteMotorsport]

[greaz]

thats realy cool, nice colur ,those plates are sweet to, are they realy as expensive as there made out to be over your way or is that just a mith

[LastMinuteMotorsport]

no its not a myth, they're 85euro each I'm really starting to love the colour too!!!

[Snoozin]

What's the significance of the plates then? Excuse my ignorance please

[LastMinuteMotorsport]

basically over this side of the globe we got euro plates in 1987, and it changed from 3 letters and 3 numbers, eg. my kp is BZS 793, and this one is FZG 638,to plates like on my corolla below, it had the year, the county (in my pic its dublin) and a number. the red black plates were only out for few years 80-83 I think, all the rest of the cars from like the 60's on were black with white letters or white with black letters. they're quite brittle so its very hard to see a car with red reg plates over here, especially ones that arent bent to curse word

Looks great! What a colour though...... I was more than happy with how my old 5dr went. We didn't get the late RWD ones with 5dr or 1.3 did we?

ah yea of course, but the 80-82 like your one is probably the most prominent shape in the uk for some reason whereas we have very little of that shpe here. I'm going to get the polishing machine out of my dads bodyshop this weekend and cut the hell out of the paint, I'm sure its one of those colours like red it will just gleam!!
