Review from Banzai M agazine, October 2007 - UK magazineIt's worth reminding ourselves that the Toyota Celica was the first Japanese car to claim victory in the WRC.

All this and much, much more is chronicled and illustrated in Brian Long's latest year-by-year reference work entitled Celica & Supra – The book of Toyota 's sports coupés.
