I’m guessing a little with these cars now, but I’m going to say this one is a Toyota Corona. We may have even owned it, because it appears in a couple of photos.

I’m wearing the school uniform of St Michael’s Primary, so I think the photo was taken in 1972.

The uniform was shorts, grey shirt, red tie and blue jumper. We switched ties for skivvies a year or two later.

According to Wikipedia, the Toyota Corona was manufactured between 1957 and 2002. The word Corona is Latin for “crown”.

If I’m right about the Corona, this would be a T80 or T90.

The T80 series was introduced February 1970 as a complete redesign and was developed on a separate platform from the Toyota Corona Mark II, which became a larger, more comfortable and powerful car, where the Corona remained focused on fuel economy. Body styles were further reduced to a two door hardtop coupe, a four door sedan and station wagon.

Trim levels offered were the 1500DX, 1600DX and the 1600SL.

I blew this photo up and saw “SL”, so hopefully I’m right.
