AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
HIGHLIGHTS:
• Vehicle from the first family ownership, built in 1978
• Early P60 second-generation version with rare round headlights
• exceptionally well-preserved original condition with no proven welding work or rust
• Includes original Greek first registration as well as historical purchase invoice and purchase agreement from 1978
HISTORY / OVERVIEW
The Toyota Starlet in the P60 generation was introduced in early 1978 and marked a significant step for Toyota in the market for compact subcompact cars. It was the first generation of the Starlet that was exported to Europe on a large scale. The early version with the distinctive round headlights was produced for only about two years before Toyota switched to square headlights, which makes this early year highly sought after by collectors. Equipped with a robust longitudinal engine and rear-wheel drive, the P60 series impressed with top-tier reliability and simple mechanics.
This particular specimen from 1978 was purchased as new by the seller’s father and has thus been in family ownership since the original delivery. The vehicle was mainly used in the summer for occasional vacation trips and spent its life in Greece’s dry climate.
BODYWORK / PAINT:
The bodywork presents itself, according to the seller, in an exceptionally well-preserved original condition. The vehicle shows no rust damage and is weld-free. The original paint remains in surprisingly glossy condition, even in areas such as the trunk where it has not been repainted. The bumpers, the grille, and the add-on parts are also in well-maintained overall condition.
INTERIOR:
The interior is in an astonishingly well-preserved, original state. The seats are covered in black artificial leather with perforated center sections and show hardly any signs of use. The dashboard is tidy, well-preserved, and equipped with additional instruments as well as a period radio/cassette system. The door panels and the floor coverings appear clean and well-kept.
MECHANICS:
Under the hood the engine bay is in an extremely clean and orderly condition. The essential components such as the air filter box, radiator, and hoses appear well maintained. The seller states that the car is in flawless technical and operational condition.
DOCUMENTS:
The vehicle is delivered with the original Greek registration papers. Also included are the historical purchase invoice from 1978 as well as the original purchase contract, which document the original purchase price.
Vehicle location: Greece. Transport within Europe can be arranged by the seller or handled through a forwarding company.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
