{"product_id":"1997-toyota-corolla-e110","title":"1997 Toyota Corolla E110","description":"\u003cp\u003eToyota's E100 Corolla, released in 1992, was renowned for it's Lexus like build quality and bulletproof reliability, so much so that Toyota realised quite quickly that they needed to make it worse, because none of them were going wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo, in 1997, the updated E110 hit the showrooms, a curvy, bug-eyed Corolla fit for the late 90s, still boasting Toyota levels of reliability but dialling back slightly on the Lexus-like build quality that made the E100 such a tank of a car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example is a Corolla liftback fitted with the punchy and economical 1.6 and mated to a 4-speed automatic, for extra mundanity. Showing just over 90,000 miles, it's averaged 3,100 miles a year and has clearly been cherished by its previous owners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOutside, this example is finished in a beautifully insipid lilac-silver metallic with black trim, its original Corolla plastic wheel trims and its simple '1.6' badging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside is a symphony in beige and grey, accented with some typically 90's colourful patterns on the seats and doorcards. Everything is present, including the original 'Toyota' radio\/cassette and floormats. Electric front windows and sunroof all work perfectly, as does the air con, but you are subjected to manual mirrors and keep-fit windows in the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngine-wise, the 1.6 is no slouch, although it does feel as though at least 10 of its original horsepower are eaten alive by the automatic gearbox. It gets up to speed well enough, but you're not going to be winning any races anytime soon. Once up to speed, it's an easy and surprisingly modern-feeling car to drive, with good soundproofing, comfortable suspension and decent brakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs far as easy-to-own, dependable, reliable retro cars go, the E110 is a tough act to beat. Parts are easy to find and plentiful, engines are built to last, fuel economy is good, and if Lift-back format, there's more than enough room for the family and luggage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTickets will launch on August 22nd and the LIVE draw will be on Sunday 27th September 2026 at 8:30pm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e14 TICKETS SOLD\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTICKETS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003esimon vallis-ridler 01\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003erobert gallafent 02\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003erobert gallafent 03\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKEVIN BARNES 04\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeoff Carruth 05\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTony Wood 06\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003erobert gallafent 07\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDavid Warden 08\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSean McKinnon 09\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Cosby 10\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJohn Tams 11\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLuke Voulgarakis 12\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAshley Dobell 13\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDarren Best 14\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Craptical Classics","offers":[{"title":"Toyota","offer_id":53862137823579,"sku":null,"price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audi","offer_id":53862137856347,"sku":null,"price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ford","offer_id":53862137889115,"sku":null,"price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0858\/3944\/6363\/files\/9BD33F11-DC6B-48AB-84E6-0CF2D15DC4ED.png?v=1787405127","url":"https:\/\/crapticalclassics.myshopify.com\/products\/1997-toyota-corolla-e110","provider":"Craptical Classics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
