Seing that Tony Crudgington and Geoff Kimber-Smith pops up in Toyota Corolla GTs or perhaps Toyota Corolla GTs. These must have been of the 8 valve TE71-type, as the never 16 valve AE86 was only homologated from January 1, 1984.

No problem- I've still got quite a lot of gaps in the 1983-84 period as well, but do have some original source material (magazine articles etc) that I can refer to- most of it is 1985 onwards though

Re: Corollas, Is this the 'TE71'-shape Corolla?

If so, then definitely yes- I've got a pic of the Kimber-Smith car (accident-damaged) in an old Performance Car magazine, and it's definitely that shape. Win Percy, of course, had won the championship the previous year in one (see bottom right above the Rouse Rover:
