Middlehurst Road Race & Classic present this original Group A race specification Toyota Corolla 1600 GT Twin Cam 2dr Touring Car, which competed in the European Touring Car Championship from 1986-1988 by Czech racing driver AntonÃn (Tony) Charouz; including various World Touring Car Championship meetings. It has an incredibly substantial, period competition history having notably competed in the Spa 24 hours race twice, along with the RAC Tourist Trophy race at Silverstone, Nurburgring Großer Preis (Grand Prix/F1 Support race), Donington 500 and 500km of Monza to name a select few. Numerous class wins and podiums were achieved during this time including a class win at the Donington 500 in 1988. After it competed in the ETCC/WTCC, it was then campaigned by Charouz in various hill climb events until the early 1990s, when it was then kept by the family and displayed in their museum in the Kladno province (about 35km west of Prague) in the Czech Republic, until 2019 when it was purchased directly out of the museum. The car remains extremely original due it having been kept in continuous ownership by Charouz himself from 1986 until 2019. It is offered today for sale with the benefit of having had a full engine and gearbox refresh prior to its last race at the 2022 Silverstone Festival, when it was raced by Jason Minshaw. The original air jacks are present, along with two sets of spare wheels & tyres. A large history file is also included, complete with its original technical passport, period photos, period results and its current FIA papers which are valid until 31/12/2033
