Description

This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Classic Sale at the Practical Classics Classic Car and Restoration Show 2026 on Saturday the 21st of March - Sunday the 22nd of March, NEC, Birmingham, B40 1NT. , Since its launch in 1983, the Corolla AE86 Twin Cam has been a popular choice for competitors in grassroots motorsport. The combination of a revvy, powerful-enough engine in a small, lightweight chassis with rear-wheel drive has seen parallels drawn with the MkII Ford Escort. Much like the ‘Blue Oval’ car, it was the rally circuits where the Corolla first found fame and, even today, the model remains competitive at Historic/Classic 'Group A' and 'Group N' events.,Presenting in truly outstanding condition, this AE86 has been subject to a meticulous restoration by A1 Body in Newtownabbey in 2022, including a full bare-metal respray in 6A5 Metallic Black, with attention paid to every detail to bring it up to an exceptional standard,Originally a 1986 JDM-delivered car, first UK-registered in 2010, it has been sensitively converted to UK specification and benefits from having a Hi-Torque 4A-GE engine fitted, mated to the original manual gearbox,The car has covered less than 2,500 miles since completion, underscoring the care and attention lavished on it, retaining its stunning condition throughout. Aesthetically it is further enhanced with period-correct 13-inch Revolution wheels giving it that lovely OEM+ look,Around six months ago, the car was serviced and MOT’d by DH Autos (Decky Hall), during which the timing was re-set. The spark plugs and leads were also replaced recently, further ensuring reliable starting and smooth performance. The restoration has preserved the AE86’s lightweight, nimble nature, making it a joy to drive in any setting, or simply own as a highly collectable Japanese classic,This AE86 offers a rare opportunity to acquire a fully restored example, combining period-correct style with modernised reliability. With so many AE86s succumbing to rust and hard lives, this outstanding example provides a ready-to-drive classic that is as enjoyable behind the wheel as it is to admire, and is sure to continue appreciating in value.,
