1978 Toyota Corona RT104 – “Peggy” – Exceptional Condition – Genuine Two-Owner Car
A rare opportunity to own a beautifully preserved 1978 Toyota Corona RT104 sedan with an exceptional history and outstanding presentation.
Meet Peggy, my much-loved Toyota Corona, which I have owned for approximately 15 years. I am only the second owner since new.
The original owner named the car after herself and owned Peggy from new. She eventually sold her to me when age-related licence restrictions meant she could no longer drive.
Genuine history and provenance
• 1978 Toyota Corona RT104 sedan
• Genuine second owner from new
• Approximately 165,000 km
• Original South Australian local car
• Original purchase receipt retained from the night the car was purchased new
• Approximately 15 years of ownership by the current owner
• Exceptionally maintained throughout its life
Exceptional condition
Peggy is in remarkable condition for a car approaching 50 years of age.
The interior is original and exceptionally well preserved, with no cracks in the dashboard and no cracks in the rear seat upholstery. The interior and exterior both present beautifully.
There is no rust. The exterior has a few paint touch-ups that were completed before I purchased the car.
A genuine classic Toyota
Peggy offers something increasingly difficult to find in a classic vehicle: a known ownership history, original documentation and exceptional preservation.
With just two owners from new, an original purchase receipt, approximately 165,000 km and a well-preserved original interior, she is a wonderful example of a classic Australian Toyota.
Ideal for a Toyota enthusiast, classic-car collector or someone who appreciates originality, provenance and a vehicle that has been genuinely cared for.
Peggy is more than just a classic car — she has a history that can be told and documented.
