Ex-Works Touring Car

[Eircamae86]

Hey there,
Was chatting with Banpei & Mux at the weekend as you do
mentioned to them that I had bought a Chowini Race car.
Said I would post it up so here goes.
Built from a brand new never registered 1983 Corolla GTV Levin.
The car was built by Toms for Team Chowini in Hong Kong, the car was one of many AE86 in the Chowini Team.
It was intended to be used in the 1986 Macu GP, but the driver didn’t have the funds. So the car was tested and setup but then never used so is very low mileage. Mileage on the clock is 17 miles.
