The 1980s proved to be a golden era for the hot hatch, with manufacturers increasingly combining everyday practicality with engaging performance and motorsport-inspired engineering. Toyota was no exception, and the Corolla GT established itself as a particularly appealing proposition, benefiting from the marque's reputation for reliability and the spirited character of its twin-cam engine. With its crisp, angular styling, compact proportions and understated sporting details, the Corolla GT remains a fine example of the era's approach to affordable performance.
First registered in 1987, this example is finished in white with contrasting red pinstriping and the distinctive 'Twin Cam 16v' graphics along its flanks. The cabin features period blue and grey cloth upholstery, remarkably well-preserved, while the engine bay houses Toyota's familiar twin-cam powerplant. Showing 129,000 miles, the car presents as an appealing opportunity to acquire an increasingly sought-after Japanese classic. Our vendor purchased the car in 2019, its previous keeper having owned it since 1990, and has covered comparatively few miles in his ownership.
With its original-style appearance and unmistakable 1980s character, this Corolla GT would make an enjoyable addition to any collection of sporting Japanese cars, or an engaging alternative to the more familiar European hot hatches of the period. Perfect for your next Cars & Coffee meeting! Consigned by Charlie McCreery
