Spotted RA ?? Celica on windsor rd Mon, 05 January 2004 02:00 Go to next message
Saturday afternoon coming home from shopping I was followed by a celica RA?? looking at it in my rear vision mirror somthing looked different from the front end (indicators in the front air dam, not in bumper) this had me puzzled so as I turned on to Windsor rd I let it pass, the body was an RA28 shape but the tail lights were 5 slit not 3 slit (like RA28) and the bonnet vents were different. Does anyone know the model (RA25??) and have any info about this car? It was a metallic Green colour.
Very nice condition. anyone on these forums own it?

Done a bit of searching I believe it was an RA25.

Has anyone got a link for a picture of the bonnet of an RA25?? in particular the bonnet vents?

Yeah thats it. This car I saw was and RA25 with that bonnet and on top of the was detailed very well, sitting next to it those bonnet vents look mean Evil or Very Mad
I also believe they have a TA22 style interior as well from the few photos I could find. I'd also like to find out more about this car:-

i had a bit of a look for that SV1, mainly cause it looks cool. it was a concept car, built early 1973, the first liftback and was never sold to the public. there probably are no specs available but i'd be surprised if it ran anything besides an early 18R. i got a couple of pics, nothing as good as the one you put up but there's a black and white one with a rear view. i found some pics of the original celica concept too, the EX-1. if anybody's keen i can send them pics or if anybody wants to host them?????????
