Someone ever heard of another one of these?
1979 Celica Liftback, originally painted black, designated by the badges as an 1800SE
My car's designation, by it's build-plate is an E-TA46-BLMES
It has a 1.8 litre emissions-controlled (Jap) 13T-U.
This is a carburetted pushrod engine with similar-to-hemi chambers and offset-domed pistons; Mine seems to have a slightly more aggressive cam
It has a live axle rear end with drum brakes, and was originally seated on 13" wheels, apparently, because the front discs are small enough to fit under 13" wheels (normal Celica front discs don't).
Original 'luxury' equipment;
-- Two-speaker stereo with blanks for four, came with standard radio/tapedeck (no big HiFi thing)
-- Power mirrors (mounted on wings)
-- Tiltable/reclinable/headrest-equipped lumbar-adjustable driver's seat
-- Airconditioner, heater, with vents for rear-seat passengers
-- Centre console with storage unit
-- Under-bonnet light (I think)
-- Thicker exhaust all the way up
-- Lifted suspension (car is nearly a foot off the ground)
-- Tiltable steering column
If anyone knows of any other examples of these making it into the country please let me know, I haven't heard of any others
and I'd like to know what the original trims looked like, or if I can get a new set of power mirrors. Thanks, Neal
EDIT -- Car also has steel, rubber-end-capped bumpers (see avatar).
