    It’s from a Corolla K20, like this one:

    Hey, you were close! :) (so was shagman).

    @ oldfella, I’d say you could get some money for that, it looks like it would clean up well, and seems to be intact.

    Don’t know its value myself, but I would say it depends on its rarity.

    Based on my experience with other classic car parts (non-Toyota), if there are loads of them about, it’s probably not worth more than about €25-30, but if they are super-rare, and in high demand, you might see three figures (but I’m more inclined to think that they aren’t that rare, given that the K20 was a big seller in 70’s Irl).
