c0c4in3 Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Hi There Sorry to bother. But I am crazy for a UK Spec 96 or 95 Supra TT manual. Maybe somebody of you is thinkin about sellin his car or knows somebody that thinks about it. For the right car, I will pay up to 16K. But for that amount it has to be a immaculate car, that's nearly like new. I am lookin for a Silver, White or Black one. Either Tan or Black leather. Milage limit is 40K (20-30 would be the best). Preferable no bodykit except the veilside one. std. Turbos, exhaust and everything else should be unmodified, too... I hope somebody can help me out. Thanks...

TRD3000GT Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 you would be looking 14000-17000 depending on the car and modifications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c0c4in3 Posted July 5, 2005 Author Share Posted July 5, 2005 you would be looking 14000-17000 depending on the car and modifications. Jup... I said 16K. Thats the middle. But only for the right car. The black one on the picture is yours? Wanna sell it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 i seriously doubt anyone on here has a UKTT6 with less than 40k miles. i'd sell mine for £18k Paul Laing (Ex member on here) might sell his, his is very modified though with about 65k miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Just buy mine, strip the mods you don't want and use the cash saved to bung a manual box in - I'll get the odo clocked back to 10,000 if it makes you happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supRo Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 My mate has a Storm blue UK, 32,000 miles. Full service history. It's running 1 bar but can be put back to stock. The rear box is a blitz with a standard exhaust tail! Mods done by TDI. Apart from that all standard. PM me if you're interested. Forgot to say it's a manual - Just having the gearbox oil changed as i write this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supRo Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 I believe it's a Nur spec. He is the second owner. The previous owner decided the exhaust tip was too big so the stock tip was welded on (nice job done). I haven't got a pic, it's completely stock looking, Very good condition, and drives nice too (I have driven it). If you PM me your email - I'll get the owner to get in touch with you directly. Oh, it's an L reg, so it could be a 94. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supRo Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 What, after 32000 miles No! He's just decided to have another one done. Toyota was clueless about the oil change so I pointed out it's gotta be v160 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie_b Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Graham S is selling his '94 Black UK 6speed. 80k miles, but you'll be hard-pushed to find a UK with as few miles as you want. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=41681&page=1&pp=15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 No thanks. I dont want a back-clocked car. Thx. I was only joking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c0c4in3 Posted July 5, 2005 Author Share Posted July 5, 2005 I was only joking Yeah, I could imagine that... I saw a 96 red supra on performancecarcompany.com unfortunately this car has been sold to somebody in ireland. It was a red 96 with tan leather, 27K miles, FSH, one previous owner and like new. Maybe, if somebody knows this guy, tell him, I will make him a good offer for that one. Oliver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJI Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 I would seriously doubt there are any UK-spec's still with less than 40K miles on the clock. If there is then the car must have been off the road for ages... or simply just not used at all. Which in its own right maybe bad for the engine and other components. A low milage UK-spec is now considered around the 50-60K miles. That is a car which has mainly been used during the summer and done about 5000miles per year if you're looking at a 95 reg plate. Average milage cars are generally said to have done 10K miles per year. For a 10 year old car that puts 100K miles on the clock ! My UK-spec is only driven in the summer and has 58K miles on the clock .... but I'm not selling mine !!! LOL sorry dude. Although I'm biased towards the UK-spec car.... I think you can't go wrong with buying a UK TT 6-speed... they are solid as a rock and £ for £ I think its the better buy. But the J-specs were still being produced in Japan until 2002? So if its low milage then you'll have to consider an import. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syed Shah Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 A Uk like that is likey to fetch a fair bt more than 16k, eirther up your mile limit or budget! I would prefer a car with a little more use. Standing does cars little good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 agreed, a low mileage UK might still be full of probs whereas a 90k jspec might be flawless. still, you can have mine for £18k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supRo Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Just been asked by my mate to post this up regarding the car he may be selling. I got few of the details wrong!

tDR Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 'piggy-back' over boost chip ^^ sounds like bollocks to me - bleed valve anyone? Possible FCD too? It sounds like a very nice example but I'm still not sure why people want to pay such a premium for a UK spec over a J Spec, and it's funny how it's only the UK owners that are saying they are worth that much...
