flat out Posted November 5, 2006 Report Posted November 5, 2006 wow it has a 120y look about it with ke20 tail lights, was there any discription with the pic? Quote
JiP Posted November 6, 2006 Report Posted November 6, 2006 Looks like a KE20 from the front with the gills infront of the windscrean. The side rear reminds me of a KE30 with the vent in the rear qtr. I'd say that its a 4 door KE20. Quote
bernieboy Posted November 6, 2006 Report Posted November 6, 2006 (edited) Wow cool. This is the first I've seen this. The headlight fixture is very similar to the 1973 TE27 Toyota Sprinter. Any other info on this car? Edited November 6, 2006 by bernieboy Quote
JiP Posted November 6, 2006 Report Posted November 6, 2006 Whatever it is, it most likely was only released in Japan. (Hence the first photo with the Japanese signs behind the car and rego stickers) Quote
bernieboy Posted November 6, 2006 Report Posted November 6, 2006 I just did a little research & found this on http://www.xs4all.nl/~mjs/corollastory.html: 'August 1971 saw the introduction of the Toyota Sprinter 4-door Sedan, which had different rear roof end styling and was sold in Japan through the 'Toyota Auto' dealer outlet.' Could this be the car? The 'S' badge on the grille seems to point that way. The rear quarter vents are similar to the KE25/TE27s. I'm hoping it is this car. Nice find. What's the url of the orig photo? Berns Quote
KeTen Posted November 6, 2006 Author Report Posted November 6, 2006 This is the url http://page13.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/r30282125 i thought the back looks like the te30 Quote
st.nick Posted November 6, 2006 Report Posted November 6, 2006 Looks kinda Capella/RX3-ish from the back. The rear 1/4 vent gives it away as a corolla... Oh, so does the big TOYOTA badge on the bootlid!! ;) Quote
JiP Posted November 6, 2006 Report Posted November 6, 2006 (edited) That black one is horrible. Its a waste to do that to such a rare car. Edited November 6, 2006 by JiP_01 Quote

TheNOBBLER[RL] Posted November 6, 2006 Report Posted November 6, 2006 I love the rat look so the black one is in for me! The white one looks like a baby Mark 2 Corona from the side. Sorry, I don't have a side on picture of one of these. The hip line and window line are very similar, its a shame the Corolla didnt come with a six! Quote
love ke70 Posted November 6, 2006 Report Posted November 6, 2006 That black one is horrible. Its a waste to do that to such a rare car. uhmmm its straight, its chrome is perfect, it has whitewalls all you don't like is the height? which is probs on bags anyways.... I'm confused whats been wasted? ;) Quote
Corolla_Kid Posted November 6, 2006 Report Posted November 6, 2006 (edited) Found this on yahoo So what exactly is this? AFAIK only *e25,27 had the rear quarter vent like that. and I've never seen taillights like that before. But rear bumper looks very *e2* Edited November 6, 2006 by Corolla_Kid Quote
