Without this unspectacular box on wheels, "cult cars" such as the Toyota Celica, the MR2 or the Supra Twin Turbo might never have existed. It was only with the third generation of the Corona series that Toyota's rise from Japan's eternal runner-up to the world's largest car manufacturer began.
From 1968, the Toyota Corona Mark II was intended to close the gap that opened up between the medium and large Toyota model series. The similarity in name to the established Toyota Corona is misleading: the Mark II was not a successor, but an independent model. This article is dedicated to the second Mark II series and shows it in historical and current photos.
Five seats, five gears and five doors, packed into an estate coupé, almost like a modern Audi A7 or a BMW 4-series Gran Coupé, that should have been a success in 1979, one might think. It was also reliable and inexpensive. The Toyota Corona was also very popular, but not necessarily in our part of the world. Only a few examples are likely to have survived; one was photographed and described for this report.
