After trying his hand in a Sunbeam TI, Renaud Verreydt made a name for himself on the Belgian rally scene in 1987 at the wheel of a Toyota Corolla GT type AE86 prepared by Breuer in Saint-Vith and sporting the Nivea for men livery.

Already 6th in the Boucles de Spa Alphonse Delettre at the start of the year, the « poet from Villers-le-Temple » ended the Inter championship season on a high note with 4th place on home soil in the Rallye du Condroz.

Now owned by Jean Vandeghen, this ex-Emmanuel Eggermont Corolla GT – which took part in the Roger Albert Clark Rally – is a beautiful replica of Renaud Verreydt’s 1987 car.

Equipped with a dogbox transmission and a powerful engine, it is sure to delight Rally 4 Passion spectators and fans of the man who remains one of the popular Belgian rally drivers.
