In February 1982 the 3rd generation Celica arrived at the UK dealers. The range consisted of just the ST Coupe at £6,604 and the ST Liftback at £6,845. Powered by the 103bhp 21R, a 5 speed transmission was standard with a 3 speed (+overdrive) automatic box a £480 option. By August the Celica Supra was added to the range. This was a Liftback only, powered by the 170bhp 5M-GE with a 5 speed manual transmission, and cost £9,888.

For 1984 the range got a make over. The STs were rebadged XT, given a digital clock in place of the old analogue one, and a voltmeter and oil pressure gauge in the revised dash. It was given the 5 speaker setup (with powered woofer) from the Celica Supra and an automatic electric aerial. The Coupe and Liftback were given new retracting headlights and the Liftback got new rear light clusters. Manual gearbox ratios were revised, the auto box was available on the Liftback only, and both cars gained a little weight. The Celica Supra was given wider wheels and tyres, and plastic wheel arch extensions to cover them. New rear light clusters and wrap around front indicators completed the new exterior look. An automatic electric aerial was added and a space age digital LED instrument display. A new 4 speed auto box was an option, and the new car was a little heavier than before.

1985 saw some minor changes. The 21R in the XT had it’s compression ratio raised, resulting in an extra 1.7bhp. The Celica Supra gained central locking and new seat cloth.
