1984 Toyota Starlet:

Originally built in the 1990s, this Starlet has many years of rally completion under its belt, from rally sprints, hill climbs and dual sprints to rallies throughout New Zealand in the NZRC. In 2014, it was overhauled and only the best components have gone back in. A 7-speed sequential feeds the 230bhp engine and its 1800cc twin cam produces to the rear wheels, making it one of the country’s fastest 2WD classic rally cars. The car is a real crowd pleaser on NZRC’s rally stages – always living up to its famous ‘SDWAYS’ number plate.
