1986 black t-bar

[jimmy g]

Hi All,
I am the owner of a 1986 mk1 black t-bar.
I have owned it for over 15 years and maintained and restored it faithfully. It is one of 110 that were made as a limited edition in 1986 and last I heard it was the only one left in the UK. I may not have the car much longer but wanted you enthusiasts to enjoy the car before it goes.
It is in excellent condition and has a current mot. hopefully the photos attached will work.
Any thoughts or feedback greatly received.
Cheers

Not the only black Mk1b I'm afraid, there's another one on this forum that I know of. Still, a very rare beast though and one that looks veeeeery nice :+:

Welcome to the club :)

She looks lovely(and I'm not a T-Bar fan, tbh)... :+:

Tiny had a G-plate T-bar(although that may be 202 Astral black, not 204 metallic black)... :shh:

Toyota used D174FUV for their '7.7 seconds to take off' ad poster in '86...that car apparently, got exported(according to DVLA)...back to Toyota Japan?? :eh:

Black kouki coupes(from Sept/Oct '86 on) are also v. rare...I know, took me 11 years to find one... :shock:

What are you doing with her, selling I guess?? :)

Lovely car. The paint looks really fresh in those photos.

Nice wheels, too. Remind me of jinxy's. :+:

Hi Jimmy, that is lovely looking. So where is yours going?

NO3157,- Tiny had an E-plate (assuming we are talking about the same guy/car ;) ... which is now in my possession, complete with v6 and few other modifications :)

There were 4 left on the road when I bought mine from Tiny (at the end of 2009).

Thanks Darren, must of got Tiny confused with someone else(whose sig says they have a G-plater)... :shifty:

Didn't realise your car was his ex!! But as you know, I like her... :+:

Interesting if there were only 4 left as of last year...hmm, wonder how many coupes, also... :think:

[KMK11]

There'll be one more on the road by next summer...hopefully!

So that means at least two of the remaining five will be in South Wales :mrgreen:

[No3157]

Aha...ok, it's an F, not a G...thanks though Mark, I knew someone had one... :+:

Best of luck with her, hopefully she'll match the CRX... :shock: :mrgreen:

Hi Nice car,

But is it original black ?

I ask because the car looks like its been repainted, all the rubbing stripes and decals
on the front and rear bumpers are also missing?
