The Nice Experience Driving Toyota Tercel

The Nice Experience Driving Toyota Tercel - There are cars that don't make it into collective memory because they're just too mundane. We forgot about the Toyota Tercel. Nice if you still take care of it. Compared to the Toyota Tercel, even an Audi 80 is exciting. After all, the contemporary competitor from Ingolstadt shines with a body drawn by Giugiaro, the four rings provided an upscale image even then, and if you wanted to, you could make yourself really comfortable with a plush GL inside. 

Abut The Toyota Tercel

In addition to the uncompromisingly edgy body in the style of the time, the two end seventies also have the front-wheel drive with a built-in engine and the usual McPherson front axle. The Audi 80 Type 81 is available dozens of times at mobile.de, a Tercel does not score, not only not now, but never. A Tercel is rare as an aluminium wing door.

Repairs None, Treatment Right Please!

For Toyota freak Martin Rammler, the small Tercel breeding, consisting of the facegele-lented 81 primal type L10 and his 84-piece sloping velive successor L20, means a tremendous stroke of luck.  "I'm just missing the Fourwheel lifestyle station wagon Tercel Snow, but finding the one becomes an even tougher nut ," Martin grins. Both cars, fittingly in silver and gold, come from sheltered pensioner's hand, mileage no more than around fifty thousand.

Repairs none, treatment yes please! Martin, the grooming fetishist, has saffled her with utter abandon.  "I like to do this for days and by all means, only when it shines like a repainting, I am satisfied. " The hawk pair of silver and gold looks like in the Toyota dealer showroom of 1984. Even the tires show deep, drippy profile.

Tercel is English and is actually called the peregrine falcon. The car is knocked out of sorts because it was the first front-wheel drive Toyota on its 1978 debut. Perhaps that's why his name doesn't start with the soft, female C like Corolla, Carina, Celica, Cressida or Crown. Often the Japanese follow strange paths, not only in design and technology.

The brittle Tercel primal type L10 not only has an unusually proportioned  "Rear Cab " body with overlong bonnet and mute neck. He tries an elaborate slanting axle on his backhand, but the Audi 80, which was favored at the beginning, suddenly looks old. There is once again a consensus on the engine, an OHC four-cylinder OHC with 1300 cubic and 65 hp has long been normal at the end of the 1970s.

Both engines, however, do without a clever cross-current head, an unusual error. Did Toyota write off Audi? Nevertheless, both were true model boys in the tests of auto motor and sport. The Tercel convinced across the board, the typical weak points of the Japanese, comfort and road location, were suddenly no more. But the conservative form got to the handicap, the two-door even gets really creepy in profile.

Toyota MR2 Was The First Car

But Martin Rammler, who rode his father's tercel as a child, cannot be reduced to his falconry. Of course, he has retained his first own car, the MR-2 mid-engined sports car.  "MR-2 is not enough, this leads to misunderstandings. It is the type AW 11, built year 86, color Super Red 3E with the 16-valve 4A-GE , "sprays it out of Martin unchecked.

He knows the intricate internal Toyota nomenclature as inside out as normally irradiated youngtimer-freaks the Mercedes or BMW codes.  "Forty hours of processing I put in to get it back as if new. The body kit of Styleauto and the ARC Aluraes are youth sins, but authorized by Toyota at the time.  "

Anyone who now believes that Martin is one-dimensional is mistaken.  "Even other Japanese have beautiful daughters ," he finds, such as the feudal Mitsubishi-Sapporo sedan or the 84-sleeper coupe Mazda 929, of course still with rear-wheel drive. Both fit perfectly into his Beuteschema.

A Laurel Would Be Nice

Now it's the golden tercel, which is with popular hatchback and with pleasing shape, but with longitudinal engine it still swims against the tide. The rear axle now gave way without distress, but arguably out of constructive exuberance, a double-cross-steering construction like the first front-wheel drive escort.

 "Light Topas is the name of the color I got from the South Palatinate from an aged grandma, automatic transmission, no 40,000 on the clock ," Martin comments not entirely without pride. And if we say one else is still going, what would it be?  "A Nissan Laurel 2.8 D SGL, Type C32 in dark blue ." And he says it as passionately as wishing for a Ferrari.
