Cheers Dave looks like its an MR2 for me unless i can find a UK spec RX7, guess i'll just have to wait till im 24 or somethin before gettin a supra. Not wanting to change this into an RX7 board or anything, but how do u find the reliability on the Rex dave? I've heard horror stories about rebuilds etc but im guessin if u look after it its prob fine. I'd love a jap rex and seen a few in my price bracket but insurance doubles everytime i try and get a quote on an import!

Dave, just wondering who ur insured through mate? I'm using elephant for quotes, on a UK supra comes to about 1000 but on an import doubles to 2000. I'm not completely dead set on jap turbos, just something nice lookin and fairly fast. I have a 7000 limit (not including about 1000 for insurance). Was thinkin of a scooby wrx, these arent imports r they? Also, has anyone owned/driven a standard 2.0 GT MR2? I know on the owners clubs they say they're very good, but im guessin you guys with supras can give a more objective opinion

yeah just got a quote from elephant, comes to about 2000 under my dads name, dont think ill find it much cheaper anywhere else cos i got 0 NCB and tried insuring other imports before, crap. Dont suppose anyone selling a UK spec Supra for 7000 max?

Thanks for the replies guys, that was quick! I cant believe it! I thought id finally found a car i could buy and insure! I first started lookin at FTOs, but insurance on them was a nightmare and not worth it for the relatively low power. Then there were RX7s, hardly any for sale impossible to find anything but a jap import. Then i went lookin for MR2s only to find any ones with decent power i.e. turbo were imoprts. Now the supra which seemed ideal is also a flamin import! This is getting ridiculous, can anyone recommend a nice fast car thats actually manufactured in the UK? Preferably in line with the ones listed above?

Hi Guys, I'm new to Supras and am trying to find one at the moment. I'm no expert but i thought that UK models of supras (mk iv) came in both NA and turbo. I just called a guy advertising an NA supra which seemed ideal to check if it was a uk car, but he told me that only japanese imports come in NA, all uk supras are turbos. Could someone please clear this up for me? And please tell me you can get uk NA supras!!!!!!!!! (Must buy a UK supra to keep insurance viable im only 21) Thanks
