1992 Toyota Carina E 1.6 XLI, Manual, Saloon

[1992CarinaE1.6XLI]

Hi All,

The time has come (again!) for me to advertise my dad's old Carina. He has owned this car since 1995, when it had 30K miles on the clock. Fast forward 27 years and another ~190K miles, and the Carina is still going strong (albeit with some niggles). The car is MOT'd until the 24th of Oct 2022. It did have an advisory last year for corrosion on the rear subframe (but not seriously weakened) and currently the speedometer is not working. I have tried to get the speedo going, but have had no luck. He has decided to put it up for sale in the hope that someone might be able to keep the old girl on the road. Failing that, perhaps someone out there might need a parts car to keep their Carina on the road (although she is too good for that really). As I said, the car drives, shifts and stops totally fine, and it is still regularly driven long distances with absolutely no problems. It has a full and extremely extensive service history and has been very well cared for throughout it's life. Other things to mention include a little bit of blue smoke on start up if it's not been used for a week or so (which clears very quickly), the sunroof doesn't work and the paint is faded on the roof and some other panels, but the interior is in great shape. It's a pretty straight car that deserves to live on in some shape or form. We have no idea as to what it might be worth, but hopefully someone out there will offer a few hundred pounds to drive home our crusty old legend 🙂

Please let me know if you have any questions or want any further info.

 

The car is located in Monmouth, in South Wales.

 

Cheers,

Andrew.
