It's a Gen 7 T-Sport. Feels like it's made out of Pepsi cans compared to the Prelude, and doesn't rip and snort nearly so much. 
I had half a dozen Gen 5 (popup lights) Celicas, including a couple of JDM GT4s, before I got the Prelude so it's vaguely familiar territory. Brother in law is a Toyota Service Manager, which is handy.

A few more piccies, as requested.
Driver seat cover has got a bit stretched, seat is fine underneath! I've always had carpet tiles on the floor in the front (after I got a heap of them in an office refit
), to give a bit of extra protection to the mats.
To the right of the steering wheel, fog front and back switches, plus that USDM dimmer wheel. Facelift interior door handles & tweeters (originals in box of spares). Note JDM flare in place, too.
Think I also have the original black under-dash plastics (swapped for grey), not sure. Definitely got the black sill protectors.

Now SOLD folks.
To a local guy who plans to get it back up to show condition. Perfect.

Well damn. The guy picked it up last week and horsed around in in it all weekend, then reported that the tensioner had given up and bust the balancer belt.
No comeback, of course, and he was well warned that the timing belt was due (though I hadn't expected it to go quite so quickly, because the car was running fine and right on the 60K interval). He did say that would be his first job (not counting enthusiastic road-testing, evidently). He hadn't taken the spares initially, so I've given them to him for nowt to offset a little of the immediate cost he's been landed with. Frees up a load of space in my garage!
Anyhow, he now has it up for sale again at a price that's what he paid me plus what he's paying to get the belts done. Up to him - his car now.
