Mr Cull Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 So I have been keeping my eye out for a new Supe recently and looking at what’s been posted on pistonheads among other places. I’ve noticed that in around the last month or so there has been about 4 listed on private sales by a sam in Bedfordshire. This is a current example: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2749638.htm In his last few listings there has been pics. But there are none in this one. It reads like he’s selling on behalf of someone else: 1996 Toyota Supra 5 Speed Manual Non Turbo Rare Colour Bronze Only 1 UK Owner Who Imported It Back In 2000 Mostly Standard Car Other Than Reezo Alloy Wheels Bodywork Immaculate Always Been Garaged Never Been In Rainy Days Also Very Rare Toyota Service History Including Recipts Of Cambelt all The Mots from Import Very Hard To Find One With Toyota Service History Has A Folder Of Recipts Long Tax And Mot Drives And Performs Great Must Be Seen To Be Appreciated Only Serious Enquiries I did ring him a few weeks back regarding a UK speck he had listed which seemed pretty cheap. This one did have pictures up. I ended my interest when he told me it had 180,000 on the clock which was omitted from the listing. Also he mentioned viewing times would have to be during the day which again made it sound more like a business that a private sale As he’s flogging so many Supes I assume someone on here known of him. He may even be a member. But none of those cars have been listed in the classifieds on here. So has anyone been to see/buy one of his cars before and have any comments that could be useful for someone thinking about going to view one of his Supes? I’ve used the Search -> “sam Bedfordshire” but that has come up fruitless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz1 Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 i bought one from him last week, the car was as described so i had no problems with him, definate trader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 He seems to get hold of a few now and again that i've not seen elsewhere.....ie he truely is getting some via the trade somehow rather than some traders that buy them cheap off ebay/autotrader and then put them back up for sale. I would just treat each car that comes up on its own merit and check for the usual used car stuff, his prices are very reasonable on paper so you shouldn't get stung. On the face of it that NA looks a good deal if it cosmetically is ok for you (they all look good in photo's) and it drives ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Nice colour and not too *uggered around with, offer him £2500 cash if it seems ok when you go to see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Looks nice, the bonnet doesn't seem to line up though. Could be nothing, but worth checking carefully for signs of repair. One of the nicer colours, would look amazing with stock wheels and facelift lights all round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biguns Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Bronze is a great colour go for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Depending on whereabouts in Bedfordshire he is I can swing by if you like? It's not to far if you want a second opinion before traveling from Leicestershire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Cull Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 I see the pics have now been added. Yeah bronze is a great colour. That’s what my current NA is. Ideally I was hoping to get a different colour to be honest. People will just think I’ve got a new set of alloys But it if all checks out I may go for it. Rob – Yeah if it’s not to far from you then please do go ahead and take a look. The info will be very useful for me or anyone else considering this one. As mentioned above the bonnet does seem to be slightly higher one the right site. Thanks to everyone who has replied Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Bonnet's only down on one catch if you ask me, which is why it looks like it's not sitting properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolai Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Im planning on buying an aerotop from him. Does anyone has good experience with him(except gaz1)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supracars Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 (edited) If your buying the white aero then i would go and have a proper look at it. It is a CAT C write off and a badly repaired one too. Pm me for more deatils and copy of hpi reportbif you want. I went to look at in merseyside when the last seller had it about two weeks ago.
