How long have you had your Celica?


Recommended Posts

Not quite 6 months yet so no drastic changes so far as new tyres, paint for wheels, decals and new stereo have cost me over £400 so far.

Pretty much bang on 2 years now. Cosmetically looking pretty sorry for herself at the moment, mechanically not too bad. There's a long list of things that could be done to make her more presentable but I wonder if it's really worth the time and money. :(

Sidta23 - for one moment I thought you had the Gen 5 in the house next to the radiator - then I looked again!

Some things you do for love - weigh up to consider!

I think Old Red Celica might be the winner on the posts so far in terms of who has had theirs the longest - Ethel since 1999, so approx 15 yrs.

Hopefully more posts to come (incl mine).

Bought in 2009 for £190 with a little tax and MOT
