    Welcome from the UK.

    You've cleaned it up well, looks like a well cared for Celica. Interior looks about right for its age.

    Nice looking car. I noticed your cruise control is at the bottom of the steering wheel as opposed to mine which is on the side. Is that b/c it was a dealer or aftermarket function? Maybe it is the year? My 87 Celica doesn't have CC but my 88 Celica does. Since yours is 87, maybe that is where it was located that year?
