From what I have found out using google they were: 1,430,000 YEN when new. Which if converted at todays exchange rate gives £11,629.20.
Not sure how this would have translated 16 years ago though.
Would have to consider change in exchange rates and global inflation etc etc...
Anyone doing degree maths or economics??? Lol.

In 1996 the exchange rate was approx 175yen to the pound, which would make it roughly £8171.

if you take the example that the nissan gtr r35 was only 33k in japan but jumped to 55 magically when imported theres another factor here. from what i remember of the 90s , the equivalent corolla or starlet was a couple of grand dearer than the equivalent ford or vauxhall.
if they could have sold it for 12 grand i bet they would have brought it over. probably would have been more like 15.
the original starlet gt was designed to beat the 205 1.9 gti. not too many of those floating around japan so you could assume toyota wanted to bring it here. but it must have been too expensive. eventually all we got was a basic na with a 2e engine(not even 4e) and it was expensive new.
