When i got my licence in 1988 the AE86 was dominating the 1600 class in Group A Touring car racing, i liked the 86 then, but couldn't afford one. So i bought a tidy one owner KE70 CS with 104,000 km on the clock for $7,500. I had it for 4 years and put another 90,000 km on the clock and then sold it for $4,400. I then went through a succession of Commodores & Falcons until I saw an ex Group A AE86 for sale on my105. It's now in my shed and i'm slowly restoring it to race in historic Group A.
