The Bolesworth Castle March 2024 Classic & Performance Car Auction
1996 Toyota Paseo SI Coupe
***NO RESERVE***
Registration - P222 NNN
Chassis No. - JT163EL5400033686
M.O.T. - 12 Months
Odometer - 74,000
This very well-presented sportingly-styled subcompact Toyota, which is offered at No Reserve, has had just three former keepers including two lady owners from the same family, who owned it for some 20 years between them. This has been a cherished vehicle and is offered complete with the cherished registration ‘P222 NNN’. The silver paint is complemented by the grey, blue and turquoise fabric trim and the car is equipped with electric front windows, removable glass sunroof, alarm immobiliser and twin airbags. As an SI variant, it also boasts ABS, a colour-coded rear spoiler, 14” alloy wheels and Sony radio/CD player. The vendor, who has owned the little car for three years, describes the 1.5-litre, 89bhp engine, five-speed manual transmission and electrics as ‘excellent’, and the bodywork, paintwork and interior as ‘good’. MOT records from 2002 support the declared 74,000 mileage and the car comes complete with original owner’s manual and a current MOT to 26 February 2025.
Toyta produced the Tercel-based sporty-looking Paseo subcompact car between 1991 and 1999. Initially available as a coupé it was also offered as a convertible in later years. The model was never overly popular – howmanyleft.co.uk estimates there are fewer than 70 registered on the UK’s roads today, and around 100 on SORN – and production was ended because of low sales figures. However, the enthusiasm for Japanese modern classics has caused a flutter of interest in the Paseo and there are now those who appreciate its diminutive proportions and subtly sporting design, nimble handling and prompt gearshift. The Paseo never was and never will be a performance car, but it has that renowned Toyota reliability, and the fan base is definitely growing!
In summary:
· A rare and cherished example of Toyota’s sporty-looking subcompact
· Offered at No Reserve and complete with cherished registration
· A low-owner, low-mileage vehicle, with an MOT to 26 February 2025
