No contest it looks wayyyyy nicer than the Merc your parked next to Abz

love supra's in red looks awesome mate

loving this project mate great job

The headlights being cleaned has made a big difference mate, looking real tidy all round

hahaha love that saying. I have had 2 mkiii's in my past and are awesome cars aswell, i agree though it would need alot of work

hahahaha love this yeah definately go for the Supra mate, just beware it easily turns into an addiction, the na is an absolutely awesome car and totally bullet proof but once you experience a TT you will end up wanting to spend the difference, i had a TT and now more recently a na but missed the TT so much that im on major money save mode now to save up enough to get another TT

looks in amazing condition thats a brilliant find there

looks awesome mate, is exactly what im currently saving up for

your making the right choice welcome

you planning on keeping the GTR and the supra? loving the look of your GTR that would be a great looking garage with that and a Supra in there

if all is legit then someone could have a good bargain here as the seller isnt sure of what it is, gotta be carefull though definately worth a VIN check 1st but certainly appears as a UK spec

Thanks, yeah would be nice to know if i could of taken it any further but at the time i only wanted my supra back again and that wasnt going to happen so just thought it was less hassle to take what they offered in the end rather than trying to argue it out with them.

yes in the end i did but only after the fee was agreed, at the point that they sent the car away to the scrapyard to be dismantled (which i still very strongly doubt that it was dismantled) there had been no offers or even contact from the insurance company since they had taken the car in to do a quote. I was tempted to take it further as in my eyes it was technically theft as the car wasnt theres to send off to the scrapyard and was still my property at the time they did it so i could of asked for it back and to cancel the claim at any time. Which i was thinking of doing so that i could put the engine and gearbox in a targa top shell at some point. In the end i just accepted the 8500 as it was less hassle.

unfortunately i havnt got any of the service history on it now, I know what garage i used to MOT it at but was quite a few years ago now so not sure that they would be able to help out. was hoping there was going to be a really easy way that i didnt know about by just using the old registration plate lol

Nah i havnt got the v5 anymore unfortunately and didnt record the vin number, i wish i did still have the information. Thankyou for your help though guys just thought id ask the question incase there was a quick history checker of registrations or anything like that i didnt know of and could of found out then but always thought it was a long shot lol.

Yeah i was very angry at the time as i wanted the car back, it even had my soundsystem still in it aswell. yeah i did look on http://www.vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk and the car doesnt come up. Thankyou for looking yeah i checked on there too and was no record of it, if it had been written off but put back on the road would it have been registered with a new registration plate? was just wondering if there was any way of checking registration details or anything for a certain date so i knew if it had been put back on the road as im fairly sure it would have been. just cant seem to find any way of searching for that information

it does take time to find the 1 you want especially as manuals are rarer yes but i agree with above auto's are very good too and have manual mode on them. The wait is worth it for when you find the one you want though keep an eye on the classifieds or put a wanted post up

I do like the look of it with the white wheels, suits it nicely mate

That was when I added my GTO onto my supra policy and was about 3 years ago so not sure on the best places to try at present

Yeah google tempory insurance and there's quite a few companies that specialise in short term insurance, whilst getting a quote it will ask you for the duration in which you want to insure it for, some normal insurance companies will also add on a tempory car, I think it was admiral I was with when I rang up asking if I could add a tempory car for a week and they did for an additional fee but would depend on the company

I been trying to find out what has happened to my old supra so was wondering if anyone might have seen or know any history on where she might be and what shes like now. Basically without trying to go into to much detail (which is still a long story unfortunately) i got done over by my old insurance company. unfortunately i had a blowout on driver side front tyre when i was driving the M50 in july 2007 (luckily i was only going about 60mph at the time as i was letting my mate overtake as he was navigator, no other cars were involved and knowone was hurt) but after the incident i got the car trailered home and rang my insurance company. after all the usual rubbish to start it got to the getting a quote part and they told me that they had to pick the car up and take to one of there approved garages to get a quote which i initially declined as i didnt want the car to leave mine and wanted someone to see the car at mine for the quote but they said that it was the only way they could do this. when i finally agreed for them to take the car i made sure it was in the understanding that i had the car back before anything happened to it because it was only bodywork damage and i was thinking i might of found a targa top shell with engine troubles and put my engine and gearbox in it. we then didnt hear anything off the insurance company for 3-4 weeks so i rang the garage that they took the car too to ask what was going on and if they had sorted the quote and they told me that the insurance company had arranged that it was sent to a scrapyard in yorkshire somewhere 2 weeks ago, i got the phone number of the scrapyard from the garage and rang them up and was told that the car had been dismantled and all parts been sold. I still hadnt heard anything from the insurance company by this point and had no offers or anything off them for the car so you can imagine how angry i was feeling at the time. I then rang the insurance company playing dumb and asking what was going on with the car and they said that after speaking to the garage they decided it was a writeoff and that they would offer me £3200 for the car (for a twin turbo manual in great condition and around 90,000 on the odo) i then told them that i knew what they had done and that the car was gone and my next offer off them was £8000, i later agreed at £8500 although i still was not happy as that was only around the value it was worth but i would not have sold it. Anyway thanks to anyone that has read the above thats just abit of background as to how i parted with it but i do not believe that the car was written off or at least not scraped for parts anyway as there was no way that the amount of damage on that car was enough to write off a supra of that value and as i really miss that car it was my dream car i just lately been trying to find out any information on it, i have done a vehicle check for the registration that was on it and that is no longer recognised but i think it is very likely that it carried on with a different plate on it. If anyone recognises or knows of any way of finding more out i would be very greatfull. It was a red 6 speed manual twin turbo on registration L690FEL at the time (july 2007) was running 380bhp from last dyno recaro bucket seats clifford alarm with remote engine start veilside side skirts and was front bumper only front bumper got ripped off during accident standard rear spoiler white wheels (very likely to have changed as 1 was damaged in incident) here are some pics: Thanks in advance for anyone who can help as i miss her
