What year would my car be? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #43180 24 posts Started by Alex-UKSC
I have owned my Celica for 4 months or so & read on the net that the high level brake light on the boot was introduced in Oct 1995, this means mine can't be the 1994 model (UK M reg) it's registered as due to having this brake light.

Is there any other features i can look for to find out the year?

Front bumper. 94-95 are different than 96-99. Look in my profile to see a 96+ and then yours look like 94-95.

It's either a 94 or 95 but i'm worried it may be registered wrong when it was brought to the UK from Japan.

Try looking up the vin number or is it different than in the states?

check your door jamb or the door itself for the sticker.. it will say what month and year it was manufactured.


here's mine. the date is on the top right corner of the sticker

There are two important differences in communication of dates - there is model date and production date. Typically production is earlier than model. So the case could be that Oct 1995 is model date for introduction of some features but actually the cars were in production already in 1994.

I know a case when a guy totalled his Carlos Sainz, insurance wanted to pay him based on AWD prices as they said that CS was introduced one year later than production date of this guy's car. This was exactly the difference between model and production dates.

If you want to know exactly year and month of made, MP me your VIN number and I'll take a look in EPC.

biggrin.gif hope it's one of mine posts wink.gif. I believe best is this one (I hope laugh.gif ). However you should find something like this on your car:

Frame number (like ST202-0130523) and Model number (like ST202-BLPZF)

That plate you can find here:

i guess not.. just think of GT-S as a version of the GT with Sport Suspension.

Yes... I believe I can wink.gif. azian_advanced has GT-S with sport suspension... so according to his VIN I have found part number of sport package shocks biggrin.gif. If you will have same one according to your VIN, you may have it wink.gif.
