1985 Toyota Camry Gli review from UK and Ireland

Only wear and tear inc.
Starter motor
Alternator
Radiator
Belts/ filters etc
CV boot.
General comments?
Excellent overall. Still on the same engine and go on and on.
Very reliable: will always start and will always get to point B.
Uses only a little oil, but no real wear on the engine. Smokes only on heavy acceleration, but very little compared to new vehicles/ vans.
Does an average of 41mpg in town and motorway at high speeds (80mph). I have managed 55mpg under light throttle. In town only driving with heavy traffic, fuel economy always stays at 40mpg.
Excellent car, and wears very well.
