nikbiomed Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Well if this is in good nick I think its well worth it. Good luck with the sale bud, I truly believe if someone can see past is looks their is a lovelly car in there, and VERY VERY rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Surely the chassis can't be from a 97 TT aerotop, GZ aeros were only 93-94, and 97 would make it facelift, which its clearly not. Would the chassis number give you that info? If you were to remove the light covers and put a stock spoiler on it would be much more appealing to buyers. Would be a cheap job too being stock black. Nice car though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weskereric Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Supragirlie is right, don't put "UK Spec" some foreign buyers could think is really a UK Spec one and importing a uk spec or a jdm supra is a lot of difference here in France... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt k Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Some of the styling in a bit questionable IMHO, but nothing that couldn't be changed, you could pick up a stock bonnet wing and bumper for peanuts and remove the ott wing and put the lights back to standard, If i had a spare £10k i'd have it and stick the IHI apexi kit on it that is for sale on here, it would sound mental with the roof off, good luck with the sale mate:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 it is a 1997 and it is a facelift model... Its not though. What is leading you to believe it is a facelift model? The non-facelift dash? The non-facelift lights? If its the registration then you can take that with a pinch of salt. My car is a 2002 model if thats the case. Check the label on the seatbelts, thats normally a tell tale sign of the actual age of an import. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 It's fitted with Uk parts, hence the UK dash, the front lights look like facelift. Its not that simple though. You can't just take the UK dash parts and click them into place on a facelift. I don't want someone getting this car thinking its something that its not. There seems to be very little information regarding this car, the information that is being given isn't being backed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraGirlie Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 This is obviously a facelift Aerotop N/A, that has had a TT engine and gearbox put in, and some parts from a UK spec put on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If thats the case then i can't for the life of me figure out why you would put an older dash onto the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 If thats the case then i can't for the life of me figure out why you would put an older dash onto the car. compatability issues with the looms maybe? small things like mis matching trac and active spoiler buttons. The cars modification was documented/talked about on here at the time but i've no recollection of the exact username and if the threads still exist, I think as he essentially had a full but accident damaged uk car and just decided it would be easier to put everything from the uk spec onto the NA donor car.......he did it for himself and kept it for quite a time after if memory serves......

Ian W Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Not that bad guys. Ditch the VS wing and and light covers and it'd be alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Not that bad guys. Ditch the VS wing and and light covers and it'd be alright. Plus the bonnet & front bumper. Could be tempted myself but it's the price(unless this is open to offers ) with the added expense of making it look how i'd want it to look that put me off.

mustang Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 The facelift indicators have not been fitted to the aftermarket spats and front bumper either, I can't see any facelift characteristics on it. Would it not be easier mate if you posted the chassis code and stop all this speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pauld36 Posted May 9, 2009 Author Share Posted May 9, 2009 ive posted some different pics on piston heads the original facelift front and rear bumper was sold on here last year,and although im no expert on supras i thought all sups 1997 an onwards were facelift models just to put the doughters minds at rest i clearly stated that any inspection is welcome,and if you find anything ive stated not true il gladly pay your experts fees, dont really know what else i can do to reassure anyone!!!!!!!

Scott Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 As i said, according to my registration my car is a 2002 model. Thats because the car was imported in 2002. A few of the cars on the forum have came into the UK this way. You need to check your VIN plate to see what the true year of your car is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 its a 97 on pp but will be sold on r plate the aerotop body was tt The TT aerotop was only produced in 1993-95, this means it can't be originally facelift and TT. See the model differences chart in the link below. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=59334 Where would you like me to send the invoice for my expert services?
