Great cars and yes a real drivers car for sure.

Do your research though as they seriously rust and this is always a problem on an AE86.

I'd say look to spend £5-6K for something decent and budget to spend around 2K on top of that to get it up to a really good standard. This is what I did (see my thread).


This is a good resource for UK stuff:

For inspiration look at the Corolla Brotherhood:

There is also a FB page.

After you've got your car you can ask to join on ae86irl.com, there is tons of stuff on there too.

If you possibly can try and take an AE86 expert to go with you to look at one, there are a few owners around London of course. Other than that look at every detail, where to look for rust because if someone says the car is rust free they are probably lying.

Think about what kind of car you want. Do you want a car to drift that is stripped out, or do you want more of a road car? If it's the latter check when you look at cars to see if they've previously been drift cars and owners have chucked the interior back in.

Be careful, do your research and hopefully you'll get a nice car.
