READERS RIDES: GONCALO REIS >> THE RESTO-LEVIN

Filed under: Toyota, AE86, Readers Rides, ae86 levin, guest blog, Reader's Month

This project began to take shape back in 2005 when Pedro Carvalho, who always had a soft spot for the old Corolla TwinCam, bought an old red hachiroku. The car was now on its 7th owner... ...It was looking tired and had been poorly maintained with some evidence of a front collision. He didn’t drive the car a lot, in fact disassembly began the day he bought it. The body was fixed and straightened and in 2007 it was finally painted in Toyota’s Super White. In 2008 the now absolutely mint...

RETROSPECTIVE>> TOYOTA GB BTCC PRINT ADVERTISEMENT

Filed under: AE86, BTCC, Andy Blackmore, corolla, ae86 levin, toyota feature

Last year I wrote an article on the 'Chris Hodgetts Motorsport' Corolla AE86 which won the British Touring Car Championship in 1986 and 1987.
