At
grparallye.com the aim is to develop the most comprehensive and
accurate website that is dedicated solely to the Toyota Celica
Grp A Rallye, a car that derived from the Carlos Sainz ST185 rally
vehicle. The Grp A Rallye was only delivered to Australia in 1991,
sold just below $46,000 when new and it was badged individually
as a limited production of 150. It is a turbo Celica that many
forget was ever produced. The Grp A Rallye can be distinguished
by its predominant bonnet vent complimented with a timing belt
air duct, alternate front bumper to allow more effective air flow
under the bonnet and also from the Grp A Rallye decals in
front of the rear wheel guards and above the tail lights. Inside
the vehicle there is a unique plaque mounted above the shift
knob and another gold plate engraved with the names of the original
owners beside the compliance plate under the bonnet.

Grparallye.com
is founded by Celica enthusiasts, created and maintained by Nick
Rainbird (aka. Rainey) who is
responsible for the website design and content. A large portion of the resources
on the site have been collected from endless scouring of the world
wide web, many of it's origins are no longer known. If you think
that you have any further information on anything, whether it
be VIN's, advertisements or additional photographs, or you have
a problem with any of the images being used here, please don't
hesitate to let us know and we will do our best to resolve the
issue and/or amend our records. The site is here for your information and enjoyment.

The most important
goal of this website is to track down as many of the original 150 Australian delivered
Grp A Rallye Celica's and record their existence in the chart
on the 'Tracking' page, along with as much information as the
respective owners are comfortable with being available to the
public. Things such as original Colour, VIN and Original Owner
as well as a gallery of photographs is the ideal outcome for
each vehicle. If we put our heads together, along with the help
of the community this site should grow into a complete database
that even Toyota themselves should be proud of.
Below we would like
to appreciate and recognise the people that have contributed
to making this website what it is today:
