Send it to the lads that were covered on Top Gear/Fifth Gear. All the deadliness, none of the ****ness!

Wouldn't mind this. Like civics when there good there good. No tax/NCT - 1550 euro.

reminds me of 'toyotafanboi' glanza..

Similar alright. awaiting his expert opinion
Fit the plate back in the proper spot and sort the headlights out for a start. Cheap enough to replace NCT consumables I presume?

re fit the pre facelift indicators and tidy up the number plate situation and that'd be a nice car. a bit silly mounting your reg there (in general), but especially when running a top mount intercooler.

buy it for 1200 or that and it'd be a grand daily hack. they are such an underestimated little car. probably wouldn't take much more than a headlight focus to get it through the test they are such simple cars and 99% of stuff is from a conventional irish starlet.

cheap tax, cheap insurance if you aren't 17 on a provisional, handy high 30's/ early 40's mpg and 130bhp per ton, what's not to like?

-biased spiel over :P

edit : nothing like mine bar the colour. mine is the facelift, with different bumpers, lights and interior but to the novice (non glanza bore) eye, pretty much identical :pac:

It's a sunroof model too which is nice I don't think it's the cleanest glanza around though.

good ones are gone so scarce. virtually everything is butchered at this stage bar a cluster of proper enthusiast owned ones.

considerably more expensive but such a nice example. nice colour, few genuine TRD goodies, factory body kit, fresh-ish import (09), good bit of test with a smidge of tax and low km's. i dare say it was shipped with my car, the reg is very close to my own which was also imported in 09.

Driver seat from a standard Starlet

I'd prefer a Glanza in black tbh.

They look well in white too IMO

the silver car was for sale in a breakers yard not so long ago but fortunately someone bought the car and saved it. i'd say someone bought the driver seat when it was being broke as they are notorious for the bolster sagging and he just threw in an irish starlet seat to get the owner going.

funny that shade of silver is what i always hoped i'd get a glanza in. i couldn't afford to be fussy though, i promised myself when a clean one came up i'd pounce on it, regardless of year etc. it could be months before another came along :pac:

given the money i've personally spent on my own now i could easily have imported one myself in the slightly longer term and had my choice of colour/ trim etc, which would have been nice; in hindsight :rolleyes::o.

Silky smooth so!
Just not very 'Murica.

Same gear box but without the power to break it.
