Doyusha 1971 Toyota Celica 1600 GT 1/24 Scale

The Toyota Celica is every car nuts dream, originally designed for motorists who love fun and style, and more than just a simple means of transportation. The Celica was first released in 1971 based on the EX-1 "car of the future" prototype, its design was radical at the time and was influential in the establishment of the sporty subcompact car market division. The original Celica was fitted with a carbureted four-cylinder engine displacing 1.6 liters.

Available only in ST form and as a two-door sport-coupe, the Celica was Toyota's version of the Mustang - an image car rather than a high-volume car. The Celica sold well from the outset, its first major change or addition taking place in 1974 with the addition of the GT model. Introduction of the GT brought with it a two-liter engine that would, in various versions, power the Celica for the next 11 years.
