1990 Toyota Camry SV22 (3S-F)
Back in Melbourne in 1998, we went to an auction of cars damaged in the notorious Sydney hailstorm of that year. Karen decided she liked this Camry, and we placed the winning bid on it. Written off by the insurance company, it had extensive hail damage including a smashed windscreen. It's a 16-valve 2-litre manual with no power steering and a carby—the base model.
We've had to replace the clutch, the gearbox needs new synchros, it has a couple of broken engine mounts (typical), it occasionally dies without warning because of some electrical gremlin, and it has other quirks besides (like running on three cylinders when cold). But on the whole it has been reliable, if boring, transport for many years now. Most of the time I just ignore it, which is fine with me these days. The hail damage, which is difficult to see in this shot, is a real attention-getter. We call it the Pox Box. Anyone with a similar Generation 2 Camry might be interested in these links:
