Classic Toyota restoration project receives support
Killarney Valley Classic and Vintage Club members welcomed support from Kelliher’s Garage for their 1982 Toyota Starlet restoration project.
Under its Classic Shed arm, the club is in the process of restoring the Toyota car that was originally bought from Bowler’s in Killarney.
Once the restoration project is complete in May it will be raffled off to raise money for mental health charities in Kerry.
The raffle is expected to be completed by next Christmas and the new lucky owner will the proud driver of a 40-year-old classic car.
In the meantime, volunteers within the club are in the process of the a bare-shell restoration and that is where Kelliher’s Garage come in.
The Tralee-based firm was recently named Kerry’s sole Toyota dealer. Tim Kelliher, a classic car enthusiast, has committed to supporting the project. Over the course of the next six months, his team of mechanics will oversee some of the work being done by the club’s volunteers. Through Toyota Ireland in Dublin, Kelliher’s will be able to source new parts for the project.
“Tim paid a visit to us the other night,” said KVCVC PRO Tom Leslie. “He is very interested in the project but he also gave a talk to our members on the future – electric cars. The plan is to have the car finished and unveiled at Kelliher’s Garage in Tralee next May.”
