The car in the pic is the Toyota Trueno AE111 BZR. In Japan, as part of the Corolla family they have two 2 door coupes: the Trueno (which means thunder) and the Levin (which means lightning). They are based on the same car - but have different fronts and rears.

The earlier Trueno (AE101) looked like this: click here
It came with the 4AGE Silvertop or in the GT-Z model, the 4AGZE (supercharged) pic:

The earlier Levin looked like this: click here

As you can see, basically the same - but the levin has always had an open grill.

The car for sale: the AE111 is the latest shape - it's squarer and has the Blacktop 4AGE engine and came out in Japan in late 1995. Better pics: click here, and here.

The BZR model also came with a 6sp manual gearbox.

The Trueno's full name is the Toyota Sprinter Trueno and the Levin's is Toyota Corolla Levin (aka Corolla Coupe).

The Trueno and Levin are Very common and are basically coupe versions of the legendary Corolla GT (FXGT in Japan).

More info: Levin, Trueno

Hope this helps smile.gif
