1981 Toyota Celica GT2000 DOHC – Rare Twin-Cam RWD

A rare opportunity to own a genuine 1981 Toyota Celica GT2000 DOHC — and importantly, not the usual Celica. For those who know these cars, the GT2000 DOHC is the one to have. This is not an LT or standard model... it’s the higher-spec, enthusiast version fitted with Toyota’s sought-after twin-cam (DOHC) 2.0-litre engine, a very different proposition from the more common single-cam cars. Rear-wheel drive, lightweight and full of character, this is a proper analogue Japanese coupe from Toyota’s golden era. Sharp styling, excellent visibility and classic liftback lines give it real presence, while the twin-cam setup makes it feel every bit the driver’s car it was intended to be. A genuinely uncommon car, particularly in GT2000 DOHC specification, and increasingly difficult to find. The Celica name carries real motorsport heritage... this era helped establish Toyota’s rally reputation, while black Celica GT liftbacks from the period were raced by the Brundle family team, with Martin Brundle behind the wheel before Formula 1. Rally Celicas associated with Björn Waldegård have also become highly collectible, highlighting the growing appreciation for these cars. The car presents as a solid, honest example and is now Northern Ireland registered, ready to be enjoyed. Whether you’re into classic Toyotas, retro Japanese cars or simply want something genuinely different from the usual classics, this GT2000 stands apart. The people who know these cars will understand exactly what this is. Not many left — and fewer still in genuine GT2000 DOHC specification. Private Sale
