    Just picked up my 2001 Celcia 190 yesterday n the UK. only 38k on the clock. Flew in to London, drove it to fishguard and brought it home on the Ferry. I had a regular Celica 140 and it doesn't even compare to the 190 version. The lift at 6000 revs is something else... here are a few pics!

    Ye she's a beauty, very clean! got her for £12,245 (£8,500) and VRT is €4,698 and total travel costs were €365, so total is €17,308 so I'm more than happy with that! For insurance I just used my own and transfered to the uk reg temporarily until the VRT is sorted next week. 0 - 60 in 7.3 sec.

    I was lucky enough to drive one of those animals.What a car.Love it when driving in 3rd gear when the turbo really kicks in at 6000 revs.Still a good lucker for a car of its age.Fuel economy is quiet reasonable also

    Well,it isn't turbocharged :)
    What you have felt was the variable valve timing ;)

    ye there's no turbo, but it's just as good in my opinion, the lift is great.

    Top Gear said "If you can afford it, the mentalist 190 has a power band like a razor"
