malpaso well thats bullsh!t, no *T18* series celicas were made in 1995, there production stopped in 1993 (there is a very very low ammount of 185's in the world as a 1994 (jan 1994) but technically they say its a 1993 anyway.

Clearly with what recycle put up it is a model.

Do you really think is adequate to message "if I remember right they were made in 1995 only" answer the way you have answered? In my opinion you must have troubles with people around because of your "communication skills"...

however back to fallout's car. Question is if he has CS edition celica. His VIN is saying "NO". No special modification at all (engine, transmition, body is the same as common Euro GT). However if you look in that Recycles magazine there is one shot where the same plate as fallout has in his car is. That IMHO means Italian dealers made this "edition" for local market to support sales of celica only. That's what I believe it is... no another model, just edition...

so my answer is: for EPC it's common Euro ST202 model, for Italian dealers Carlos Sainz special edition.

note: I wish someone would translate specification and what made this edition special. If it's just badge, special paint and color of seats or not... That's real valueable information!

Well from the photos, looks like:

* Special edition red/black cloth seats (same as UK SR and JDM special editions) with option for leather seats
* Passenger airbag (same as SR and facelift GT for the UK)
* Different stereo
* Storage compartment beneath stereo
* Sports suspension? (if so, probably the same as the UK SR)
* Ltd edition badge on center console
* Alloy gear knob
* Red stiched leather steering wheel and gear gaitor
* 5-piece mats as standard?
* Washer jets on front lights? (someone mentioned it but not sure if based on fact or just a random example)
* Rear spoiler deleted
