1971 Toyota Corolla Sedan review from Portugal
"Japanese 70s quality"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The starter failed.
Brakes needed a huge repair.
Body in bad shape (due to race treatment).
General comments?
What a astonishing little car.
So reliable.
Me and two friends bought it to race it.
In spite of serious beaten, U turns, and violent jumps, the car never complained.
I miss it, the car was sold to a junkyard, no one would accept the car for regular use.
