Phil the fixer Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I’ve sat at the keyboard a number of times recently hesitating writing this. I’ve driven quite a few cars in my many years and without a doubt my Aerotop is the best, with the roof off and the sun shinning, it’s just perfect listening to the roar as I put my foot down passing under bridges and through tunnels and listen to all the admiring remarks when I’m stopped by traffic lights. I will probably regret selling her for the rest of my life but with my daughter getting married and business getting tighter the soop has to go. I have owned this car for nearly six years now. Initially I bought the soop as a mid-life-crisis need to own a fast car for a few months. Then the bug struck and I met Dude from ‘Katana paint and body’ and Paul E then ‘Miami GT’; they showed me how to bling the soop and make it go faster. Anyway enough of the history and stuff, as it says she is a 1993 Twin Turbo Aerotop. I am the first UK owner, she was imported in 2002 but not registered until 2003 as she was being transformed from a bog standard silver version to what you can see in my garage pics. She is always kept garaged when not on the road. She has covered 32158 miles GENUINE MILES with receipts and past MOT’s and has just been MOT’d and the tax is until 31/10/08. She has also just had a service which was done at Toyoda Tech who are a much respected local specialist near Fareham. Improvements can be seen together with a few pictures in my garage, I can email more photos if required. Additional bits: Fully wax undersealed, TRL fog light conversion, TRL speedo converter de limiter. THE NUMBER PLATE IS NOT INCLUDED Bad points You will see a grown man cry when you come to pick her up. She may benefit from setting up on a rolling road but I can‘t see how because she runs so well. I am located near Southampton for anybody who is serious and wants to come and have a look. I am looking for sensible offers before I put her on eBay with a buy it now at £12,500 and the reserve probably a couple a grand less. Feel free to ask me any questions on 07785 777788. Thanks for looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraGirlie Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Wow, a GZ aero is my dream supe! Just needs a trial rear to finish it off! Such low milage too, it is perfect and I would buy it if this came up for sale next year good luck with the sale, I doubt it will hang around long!

Guest Geneb Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 If this is still available when i get back from hols i will come have a look as long as its not an accident repair as the missus has decided to nick the jag for herself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil the fixer Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 Hi Buddies, Soop selling seems a bit slow, so far had one silly offer and got another viewing this week. Come on SupraGirlie come and have a look the tt aero is rare and this is very low milage, I searched the internet to get an idea of how much to ask and couldnt find one for sale. Geneb give me a ring when you get back from hols, I will email you my contact details. BEERSHZ it took a long time to choose the colour, I wanted a colour like the sky on a summers day and the gold flip is just like the suns rays and I do like the sun. Paul me old bud havnt heard from you in a while, thought you didnt love me any more. Ive put my beauty on pistonheads now but would love to sell her to someone from the forum.

Jake Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Those photos don't do the car justice. I've seen this car and it's a spectacular colour in real life. One of the TVR colours I remember right, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr keef Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 tell you what mate,i aint being funny but you need some better pics,i have skipped past that car on pistonheads manytimes as it looks like a supra in primer,thats what i honestly thought until i seen this here.

Guest nutter Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 As said before the pics dont do it any justice wat so ever, but just the fact its a tt aerotop for me means its the dogs!! Love it, good luck with the sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprash Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Phil you only popped back in the other day to say hi and now you're selling Good luck mate.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil the fixer Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 Hi All, Im sitting here crying into my wine, not because Ive sold the Soop but that I sold her (within a couple of days on pistonheads) and then the chap who bought her has backed out because he couldnt get the finance, evidently he has seen quite a few Soops over the past year and mine was just what he was looking for but....................No cash to buy. Anyway Jake - Thanks for the kind words my photos are sh1t and yes it is a TVR colour that has a lightish blue base with gold over the top, so when light hit the paint it flips to gold, like a summer sky with golden rays, just the way I like it. mr keef - Your right, the photos are sh1t, my son has taken some more with a proper camera and I will substitute ASAP. nutter - Yep she is the dogs, I dont want to sell really but with my daughter getting married and the property business going bad Ive got to. Anees - I would like to say you could get two adults in the back and it has been done but leg room???? def not. TyranoSupraRex - Yep and that been done! Suprash - Hollo mate, as it says above selling is sh1t, it was bad enough selling the soop the first time, I felt like I was selling a member of the family and now to be told "sorry no cash" what can I say. Anyway thans for your good wishes Im off to open another bottle of wine. Cheers soop pals Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil the fixer Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 Oooops, forgot to say, The offer I accepted was £11,250, if anyone wants to step in on that price she is ready to go, all nice and polished. Cheers Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil the fixer Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 Boo Hooooo:cry::cry: Yesterday was one of the worst days of my life, I stood and watched my soop drive off with its new owner:(:( It felt as if I had lost someone very close to me, hit the wine last night to try and make things feel better, feeling kinda numb now. Will sort out my pile of soop bits and put them in the parts for sale. I will now pass into the retired section and go with the elves into the West. Feeling very sorry for himself:( Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
