    Does the car shift gears smoothly and precisely, as is typical for the built-in K40 direct transmission? In my experience with the Toyota Corolla KE 30, when everything is working properly, the gears almost shift into place by themselves with a clicking sound.

    The engine should run smoothly, correct?

    Additional question: The type plate is missing from the engine compartment - is it still available?

    Hello Schmalfilm,
    I had a chat with the owner regarding your questions and I am helping out with an answer. The answer is of course based on information from the owner. The transmission is a smooth as a Toyota is expected to be. They slide easily into gear without problem. The engine runs as is should.

    Regarding the type plate (this is from my own experience) they are sometimes removed and replaced by a stanced VIN-number, just like this one. The Swedish Transportation Board and insurance companies have had different opinions about this leading to some different solutions regarding VIN-numbers and the possibility to change these, which of course is illegal.
