datsunZ ◊ 2006-11-23 23:23	But the one shown was 1982 or 1983(read a 82 or a 83 at beginning of plate--Irish--denoting reg.year of vehicle)

Zilog Jones ◊ 2007-01-28 20:59	Yeah, as far as I can see the 1983 model got a new grille and lights with sidelights, so judging by the number plate it's an '82 - must be a used import from the UK as that series of number plates was not introduced until 1987 (and it doesn't look like a Japanese import, which are also quite common here). Those KP60 Starlets used to be quite common here, though are very rare nowadays. Toyotas may be very reliable cars, but they do rust!
