To celebrate 25 years of the Toyota Celica, the 25th Anniversary Limited Edition was released in limited numbers. Just 500 were produced with 250 in a silver livery and 250 in black. ‘P621AYJ’ is one of those 250 in silver and is noted as number 214 of 500. It has been in current ownership for around four and a half years and spent the last two of those in a storage barn. Five previous keepers are recorded for ‘P621AYJ’ and MOT records show that just 9,000 miles have been covered in the last 19 years bringing the total to around 80,000 miles. ‘P621AYJ’ was last MOT’d in 2022 at 80,967 miles. ‘P621AYJ’ comes with some service history and its original book pack. A new battery has been fitted and the fuel refreshed with the Celica now reported to be running well. Some recommissioning will most likely be required.

The Celica 25th Anniversary was based on the 1.8 ST model but with special alloy wheels, sport bucket seats, air conditioning as standard, a carbon fibre effect front console and a 25th anniversary plaque with a unique serial number. ‘P621AYJ’ also exhibits the body coloured side skirts and prominent boot spoiler of the special edition model. Those special, six double spoke alloy wheels are present and are now pretty rare in themselves. ‘P621AYJ’ also features the special Celica emblazoned front seats associated with this special edition car. These are along with the sleek carbon fibre centre consul and 25th Anniversary plaque. Bodywork, paintwork and interior are all vendor rated as “good.”

‘P621AYJ’ represents the sixth generation of Toyota Celica and had inherited the looks of the bigger Supra. Mechanically, the specification remains the same as the 1.8 ST which means the 1.8-litre 7A-FE four cylinder petrol engine is fitted. This was originally rated at around 115PS and in ‘P621AYJ’ this is mated to a five speed manual gearbox. Toyotas of this period are noted for their over-engineered nature and longevity which bodes very well for this 80,000 mile example.

In summary:

· Coming from two years of barn storage

· A rare example of the 25th Anniversary Edition with just 250 ever produced in silver

· Presenting in a highly original condition with key special edition features
