Christ, that's some amount of owners, almost one per year, nobody loved this ML

Love/hate relationship with revenue I'd imagine.

For sure, I'd imagine most of these of that vintage were commercialised or "crewcabbed"

A very early Yaris, with tiny mileage, and no power steering. And those cool oem hubcaps.

Unpopular opinion perhaps, but I think this is something well worth preservation

Lovely car from the pics but way overpriced.

Yaris E, so no power steering, coloured handles, passenger airbag, leccie windows or central locking.

Had an alarm at some stage. Bang of nun off that.

I have enough hardship.

I think he has it priced at what a tidy 4 door EP91 Starlet would command, and they need to become desirable first before a Yaris can follow suit.

It is an interesting little car though and definitely one worthy of preservation like I was saying last night, it has all the right hallmarks IMO. Those hub caps are wonderful.

Would I be right in saying that all 96-99 Starlets sold here had power steering?

I have a light blue 3 door 98 1.3 S here with power steering. Think S is basically the same as Irish ones but doesn’t have the weird multicoloured rubbing strips on the side

Debating whether to restore it. Hasn’t been driven since 08.
Seriously tidy car. Might need a donor car for bits or she might just fire right up.
Donor car would be easier than scouring scrapyards for bits.



Same as this

My dilemma is that it probably is worth very little either way.

Yeah, part of me thinks it would just need a jump start!

I do know that one caliper seized about 10 years ago ahd rather than replacing it I just removed it si u could move the car. It at least needs

4 tyres
4 wheels (has scabby Wolfraces, would prefer steelies for authenticity)
Oil change
Timing belt/wp and coolant
New discs and pads
At least 1 caliper
Drums probably seized

So once I fix it up, would I even be arsed driving it?

I’m driving a 4 door 1.3 Solida at the minute, which has power steering and electric windows in the front. Cadbury’s purple in colour and plain jane rub strips. Not a trim or colour offered on Irish cars I don’t think

I honestly thought they all had power steering.

The fact it's a 3dr would make me say it's worth tidying up. They've become quite hard got especially with clean bodywork and in a nice colour.
