I can't comment on the difference in insurance price, but its not going to be cheaper just because its only got one turbo :D

 

As for the reliability; Reduced reliability is a price you have to pay for greater performance, so no, it's not going to be as reliable as a standard factory car, but its probably not going to be breaking down every 100 miles either.

 

Reduced reliability "could" mean that it'll only do 150k rather than 300k without a rebuild. Who knows

 

Sounds like a nice spec car.

 

Have fun:D

When I was looking for a supra around a year ago I got a few quotes together, heres the best of them:

 

UK TT 6spd - £650

Jap TT 6spd - £1000

Jap 6 spd 500bhp single - £3000

 

I've talked to a few more companies in the last few months and prices do seem a bit more affordable. Some companies will only charge you a few hundred extra for the single, other thousands. Have a look at the club insurance posts, also try a-plan in Thatcham.

 

Edited to add that i'm 28 yrs old, 10 yrs+ no claims, no points, medium crime rate area. If you're under 25 then you'll be lucky to get a quote IMO.
