Is It Really Jap?

[jonnnnnnnnnnnno]

Where is the corolla made?

[TheSpannerMonkey]

early ones where made in japan, and had a j at the start of the chassis number, late ones where made in england (uk ones anyway) and will have s at the start of the chassis number, not sure about really early ones though, interesting note, mine which is the ever so lovely looking frog eyed e11 hatchback version was never available outside of europe, but was made in japan

America i believe.... unless you mean the E12's? :P

In which case i think the car was made in Derbyshire with the engines made in Japan...

I may be wrong tho

Other way round. Engines were made here, as I'm told.

[Norfolk n Chance]

Sure?

I know the Corolla was made in the Derbyshire plant....

I was just unsure as to the 2ZZ engine...

[jonnnnnnnnnnnno]

i mean the E12 for my 02 reg.

want to know this because someone said to me while we having a little banter "come back to me when you have jap"

so i was thinking thats a good point so is the rolla really jap or just a jap Badge?

[dawesy]

from the E11 they have been made here and japan. the E11 5 drs here and 3drs jpn.

with the e12 they again were made here (3+5dr), japan (3,4,5dr and wagon) and turkey (3,5dr and verso)

engines depend on type, some here some japan

I don't completely know tbh, I just remember reading that when I was thinking of becoming an apprentice for Toyota.

I could be wrong there so don't hold me to it. :)

All the modern stuff is designed in Europe these days, Japan couldnt design a European car if they tried, they could never get it right somehow, always too small inside, fine if you 5ft nothing like me, I'm sure 10 ft man might struggle

Kingo

I often wish for my GTi to be a Japanese import!
