Does this model feature working lights?

No, the Autoart 1973 Toyota Celica Liftback 2000GT does not include electronic components or working lights.

Can I remove the wheels?

The wheels are designed for display and rolling; they are not intended to be removed, as doing so may damage the axle assembly.

Is this a left-hand or right-hand drive model?

This specific RA25 model represents the Right-Hand Drive (RHD) version of the vehicle.

What is the best way to clean the exterior paint?

Use a very soft, clean microfiber cloth to gently wipe away dust. Avoid using any polishing compounds or liquids.

Are there any small parts that might come off?

The model contains small, detailed trim pieces. It is intended for adult collectors and should be kept away from children who may ingest small parts.

Troubleshooting

Opening panels feel stuck or stiff

Ensure you are using the provided model tool or a soft plastic tool to gently pry the panel open; do not force it, as this may damage the hinges.

Dust accumulation in the interior

Use a small, clean, soft-bristled brush or a compressed air canister held at a distance to gently clear debris from the carpeted floor and dashboard.

Wheels not rolling smoothly

Check if any debris is caught in the wheel well or axle; gently rotate the wheel to dislodge any obstructions without applying pressure to the suspension components.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Autoart 1973 Toyota Celica in pristine condition, always handle the model by the chassis rather than the mirrors or delicate trim pieces. If the doors or hood feel stiff, operate them slowly to ensure the hinges are not placed under unnecessary stress. Cleaning should be done exclusively with a soft, dry microfiber cloth; avoid using water or chemical solvents which could damage the paint or the interior carpeting. Keep the model in a temperature-controlled environment and avoid excessive humidity to prevent potential oxidation of metal components over time.
