That is a really intricate model; I was expecting something more along the line of the MatchBox car collection my sister had when she was little, in the 60's.

The color scheme and interior are home-market. They got the cloth, we got some plasticy carbon-fiber looking inserts. Of course, I have an '85, I think the 83-84 had the cloth inserts. It also has the JDM sport steering wheel; the US model got the two spoke, same as in other Corollas and Camrys.
Hmmm...

The home-market Trueno front end had cornering lams and could have integral driving lights:
