Hi everyone.
My name is Steve and I hail from the land down under and all the other cliches.
I saw your website and the old TOYOTA emblem.
I have been a Toyota owner since 1970.
My rides were a 1970 CORONA RT40S 1600S 4R engine which I owned up to 1974.
I also ran a 1971 Corona MK2 1900SL with the 8RB engine and
I then came into possession of an RT104GT CORONA GT developmental car brought into Australia from Japan.
I have owned this car for over 35 years and still maintain it and keep it in roadworthy condition.
At this point in time it is becoming quite famous as very few if any are left on the road in the world today.
None of the museums have this model on display and I have never in my life driven another one or seen another one in the flesh.
Here is the website that shows the life and times of this special car.

Here are two photos of the car 35 years apart.
The first on the occasion of my engagement to this gorgeous girl in NOV 1976.
I still have the car and still have the girl.
Here on the occasion of our 30th wedding anniversary in 2006.
This is the real deal a 1973 RT104 GT Corona 2000.
RT104GT-MQFG VIN NUMBER 012604.
Engine is an 18RG 125 BHP, five speed twin cam LSD F series diff.
For more pictures view the 1977 Singapore Airlines Rally website the worlds longest car event from London to Sydney which featured the Corona in its roll as the Australian Service vehicle, supporting a Corolla Coupe Car 60 which won the event in its class.
