  1. *** DEPOSIT TAKEN *** Hey everyone...thanks so much again for all the positive comments and feedback. Met with Alfie and a friend of his on Sunday - both really nice guys. They travelled all the way from Essex to Bristol to check out the car and go over it with a fine tooth comb. Spent a few hours with them going round the car and through the documentation and doing test drives etc. He out a deposit down there and then and will be taking my pride and joy off me Saturday 24th of this month. Please welcome this new member and his AWESOME new car (lol) to the forums and make sure you give him all the support he needs. I will be keeping an eye on the progress of "my" baby - but I'm confident having met with Alfie that its in good hands...
  2. i agree that a private seller wouldn't be able to fetch that much...but as importers are already charging £25-30,000 it won't be that far off in the near future. Im guessing it will be like when the american market finally were able to import R32 GTRs and the prices went through the roof. I know they already got Supras over there...but they are still getting more and more rare. Cheers for the GLWTS - Alfie seems very keen...and appears to be exactly like me with his car tastes so hopefully this is the one for him. - - - Updated - - - yeah it does. hold onto your appreciating asset if you can! better money in the right cars than property at the moment if you are lucky enough to own the right thing! And yes I would be absolutely delighted if it stayed in the club. not only so its looked after but so I can follow the progress of my fave car ever (sniff sniff)
  3. need to be quick if you are keen Adam as Alfie is coming for a viewing on Sunday...
  4. Sorry for the delay guys...cant get on here at work! Front mount fitted and as far as I'm aware the stock undertray is still there as well. I'm hoping thats due to it being an expensive one from a well known brand rather than a generic eBay jobbie. Yes it is on the stock 16" wheels and has the j-spec brakes. Forgot to mention a few things in the original advert (which i will edit now) but it does have a spare key and the owners handbook and pack along with a load of service history and garage reports etc. However as you would expect they are all in japanese lol.
  5. Well I hope yours sells quickly then lol! Believe the car landed end of May off the top of my head - can check the exact date if required. The car was in great shape underneath before the underseal! The only rusty part was part of the petrol tank cover! As I mentioned in the advert - people don't have to take my word for it - both Leighton @ Pro Garage and James @ Restored can back up what is written in the advert.
  6. Again thanks to all for the kind words. Nice to know when u genuinely do have a good deal it's recognised. All PMs replied to. Cheers
  7. Get that aristo out the door and get the car you know you really wanted in the first place hahaha!
  8. Thanks for all the positive comments guys. Much appreciated. Like I said I saw that an importer sold something like this for £30,000 a few months ago. I am a true supra enthusiast - my last project was being built for 3.5 years! - and I would just like to see it go to a good home with someone who will appreciate it. Perfect base for an investment or top level build...
  9. For Sale is my Toyota Supra Twin Turbo. Just putting this advert on here before I advertise on flea-bay and the usual other places as I really want this car to go to a loving home and hope that it will be picked up by either a member or a friend of theirs. Anyone who knows these cars will know just how rare it is to find a car like this for sale. Late model, facelift, black, VVTi, 6-Speed cars with the recaro seats, that are near stock, unmolested with stock body parts and have low mileage just don't come up for sale anymore. When I decided to buy a car of those specs I had to wait literally months and months before any came through the auction houses - and the first couple that did were rejected due to being too low in quality. ***This car comes with spare key and factory booklets and documents including japanese service history which is very rare indeed!*** This particular car was bought by me as my second supra project and I planned to keep it for a very long time. I was going to get it to around 650BHP and get the 7-Speed DCT Gearbox conversion from Whifbitz. I have however had a serious change in circumstances. I have just bought a new house which is going through now and with family situation changing I am unfortunately going to need something more practical. In the short time it has been in the UK it has been given a full nut and bolt check over by Leighton (the owner of Pro Garage in Warmley) and treated to a full underseal to protect it against the harsh UK roads and keep the chassis mint and rust free. I have also had James (the owner of Restomod bodyshop in Warmley) give it a full mop to make sure that the paintwork on the car is as flawless as it possibly can be without a full respray. Both are happy to be contacted to confirm the spec/condition of the car and everything written in this advert. Driving wise, the car runs very smoothly with no flat spots, boost leaks or misfires etc, and pulls very strongly in all gears. Being near stock the boost builds from an insanely low rpm and this makes the car amazing for lazy driving and just cruising along…it just drives in any gear at any revs. When pressing on the power comes in smoothly in all gears…these really are a lovely car to drive around in this state of tune. It has only ever been filled with Shell Optimax V-Power Nitro+ in my care. The only bad points of the car are as follows. Firstly some of the alloys (if you plan on keeping the stock ones) could do with a refurb. Secondly, despite the mop bringing the paint to an excellent standard please bear in mind this is a 17 year old car on original japanese paint. Whilst there are now no swirls or scratches, there is a tiny amount of bubbling/rust around the rear wiper hole and also a palm sized patch of paint that is thinned out on the front bumper (which is shown clearly in the photos). There are also a couple of tiny pin dents that had to be pointed out to me by the bodyshop owner. Despite all this, it is definitely the nicest example of original black paintwork on any Supra I have seen. I am happy to answer any questions you have. If yourself or anyone you know are interested in the car please check you are able to be covered and can afford the insurance before wasting your time with a test drive. The car is based in Bristol and the private plate will be coming with me. BASIC INFORMATION: Toyota Supra Twin Turbo 1999 Model Year Black Facelift Model Only 83,000kms / 51,573 Miles (original clocks and still in kms) MOT till May 2017 (no advisories) 12 Months Tax ENGINE: 3.0 Litre Twin Turbo - VVTi Blitz Nur Spec S Exhaust System HKS Type R Front Mount Intercooler HKS Hard Pipe Kit Blitz SUS Induction Kit INTERIOR: Rare Unmarked Perfect Condition Recaro Confetti Bucket Seats Facelift Clocks Facelift Steering Wheels Optional Supra Floor Mat Set Optional Black Carpets Optional Black Leather Headlining Greddy 60mm Boost Gauge Blitz Turbo Timer Rear Boot Blind BODY: Full Chassis Underseal (Essential for UK Roads!)

This is an appreciating classic and will only increase in value. It will make a great investment or an incredible base for a top level project car. I have spoken to a specialist company owner on this forum and also visited a top level importer this week who have confirmed the value of this vehicle being at a sensible level. I am though as stated above keen for it to go to a fellow enthusiast and caring home so am open to offers. Thanks for looking Tommo
  10. are these et25? just wondering - based off that inner marking... thanks (PM sent also)
  11. will you be selling your flocked interior?
  12. i know he can set up custom rates...but didn't think there was adjustment. i was chatting to him about alignment the other day. i will get back in touch with him.
  13. thanks for the picture. as you haven't said - I will assume that this IS the same wing that was being advertised in the other thread. bearing that thread and this one in mind...I would be happy to purchase and collect the spoiler from you (as i'm sure many others will) if you can please post some pictures of the entire centre blade top and bottom so we can see that there is no damage on it as their appeared to be in the original pics. i'm not trying to be difficult or fussy - just seems in all the pics that have been posted we never get to see the full centre section and the condition of it. thanks for your time
  14. what with adjustable damping? i thought his were fixed, with some small height adjustment possible? Kind of the opposite of what i need. I never change the height of my car once its been corner weighted...but i do change the damping.
