Corolla KE30 Estate - any left??

Silvera

Has anybody spotted a Corolla KE30 Estate - restored or scrapped - in the last few years??

My brother had a '76 estate in navy blue for many years back in the 1980's. Great car, served him very well, but was a constant battle to keep the rust at bay!

He became well aquainted with isopon, sandpaper and navy blue aerosols!;)

Theres hardly any KE30 saloons left,not to mind estates!:)

Those cars dissolved like disprin. A neighbour of ours would have bought a new car for what he spent on Isopon

A small few saloons about alright but they usually arent left anywhere near water ,haha .
The fact they all rotted before your eyes makes them extra special now a days ,when you see a clean complete driving ke30.

A musician friend of mine has restored one because it was his first car, a saloon though.

My uncle had a green estate we used to go around with him in. The whole car below the waistline was dark green hammerite!!

kasper

was he a classic musician by any chance ?

Interesting to hear one or two estates are still intact!

I wonder has my brother's old estate survived anywhere?
I think the reg was *** UFI ...
