Description

SB's Take

  • A rare opportunity to own a Japanese icon that is comparable with the likes of the Lancia Delta Integrale and Ford Escort Cosworth.
  • A rally homologation special, the Celica GT-Four AWD is sure to further increase in value based on the price explosions of rally cars of the same era.
  • This JDM import landed on UK shores in 2004 and had just one fastidious owner for the following 16 years.
Here is your opportunity to own a bit of Rally Car history. In 1992 Carlos Sainz Snr drove the Toyota Celica GT4 AWD ST185 to secure his second WRC World Championship and in doing so made the more established European manufactures eat Toyota's dirt. The 1995 GT-Four ST205 had big shoes to fill but did so thanks to better weight distribution through a longer wheelbase and wider track, and also boasted improved aerodynamics. The GT-Four paved the way for greater Japanese WRC involvement with the Subaru Impreza 555 and Mitsubishi Lancer Evo becoming bona fide WRC classics. The value of those cars has exploded in recent times - now is your chance to own a car from this very special era of WRC racing.

Key Equipment

  • Look under the bonnet and you'll find a turbocharged four-cylinder 16-valve 3S-GTE engine coupled to a five-speed manual gearbox driving all four wheels.
  • The GT4 featured a 'Superstrut' front suspension system - well ahead of its time for super responsive steering.
  • With a permanent 50/50 torque-split all-wheel drive system, traction exiting corners is phenomenal.
  • This particular GT-Four has had some subtle performance enhancements resulting in a power increase to 254bhp at the wheel.
  • Enhancements include: a Turbosmart dump valve, a Hydra Nemesis ECU, an Aussie downpipe and a Blitz exhaust system.
  • A Blitz Turbo timer has been mounted on the steering column to ensure proper cooling down of the turbo bearings after spirited drives.
  • A Blitz Dual SBC boost controller has been fitted to the passenger-side transmission tunnel to control the amount of manifold pressure going to the wastegate.

Condition

  • All switches, buttons and electrical items work as they should.
  • There are no warning lights displayed on the dash.
  • The interior fabric has no rips or tears and is stain-free.
  • The steering wheel does have signs of wear (see photos).
  • Interior plastics are clean and crack-free.
  • The seller is supplying this GT-Four’s original ECU, exhaust downpipe, a spare OZ alloy wheel with tyre and a removable baffle for the tailpipe.

Service History

  • The original owner's manual and all documentation of its service history from 13 April 2004 until 3 May 2016 are included in the sale.
  • All invoices and receipts for any work which has been carried out during this time are also included.
  • A fresh MOT and service will be carried out by auction closing date.
  • Previous MOT's - since the car's arrival to the UK in 2004 - have all resulted in first-time passes.

Summary

The Toyota Celica GT4 ST205 is a bit of a hidden gem these days.This is a rare opportunity for any rally fan or collector of JDM sport classics to acquire a well cared-for example. Offered for sale by its third owner since 2004 (the first owner having it for 16 years), this performance-enhanced GT-Four boasts an exterior in excellent condition with a tidy interior.



Just look at the values of the Toyota Supra and other rally legends and you will see that not only is this Celica GT-Four a hoot to drive, but a solid investment not too far up its appreciation curve.
