Next thing is somebody with some knowledge of tin cans might have to identify it from its appearance, I can’t. -- Last edit: 2023-09-09 17:56:33

And when I googled pics I found this scrapper which conveniently plate checks as a March 2002 T3. Hoorah! And if it's only a tin can, it's a very good tin can - wiki says E120 Corolla won What Car? magazine's "Car of the Year" award for 2002.
