Crash Bandicoot Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Make: TOYOTA Model: SUPRA RZS TWIN TURBO TIPTRONIC Year: 1997 Facelift: Yes Mileage: 30,500 MOT remaining: 8 months Service history: Full Car's location: Plymouth Modifications: Genuine Veilside skirts Aftermarket bonnet 18" Enkei ep03 alloys with D1 spec nuts. Pillar tweeters. Blitz dump valve. Oem Toyota wind deflectors Full stainless exhaust from turbo with 1.2bar ring Good bits: Genuine 30,500 milage Facelift version Everything works as it should Bad bits: Had a respray before before being imported from Japan (was originally white) Not a bad job in any way but can see tiny imperfections around windows if your up very close. Front bumper facelift indicators are not oem. Will try and source some before sale. Price: £9,995. History of the car; I have not owned this long and is my 5th supra by now and by far the best I've had. I am the second owner since import and the only thing I've done is put new iridium spark plugs in (had misfire when I bought it) I've put 2000 miles on it in just over a month of owning it, I collected it from Ipswich and drove back to Plymouth, been to BHP FUEL fest in it and a lot of daily driving. Hasn't faulted me once. The previous owner was in his 50s and imported the car in 2005, I have all the import paperwork including the price he paid for it. He owned it for 10 years, in this time he daily drove it for the first year and garaged it since with a few outings to a friends private land nearby and started regularly. He put 12 months MOT when he imported it and drove it for the first year, then didn't have it MOT'd until I bought it. I have all the MOTs and that import papers that varify the low milage. He took the milage from 15,000 odd up to 26,000 in the 10 years of his ownership. Will come with the private plate that's currently on it (K500 KDD) Any questions fire away on the thread or by pm Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 it's november 1997 according to the New Zealand vin to date list. The 01/01/1996 ie registered on New Years day? Unlikely, probably a dvla balls up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 01/01/1996 is a very strange registration date for it to actually have been registered in that month. It's much more likely to be an early 97 model. I've never seen a 96 tiptronic so it's likely a UK DVLA registering error. Check the labels on the seat belts, that will show when the car was physically built and give a better indication to it's actual month/year etc. According to the DVLA my car is a 2002 when in reality it's a 1996. Take it with a pinch of salt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Bandicoot Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 Seatbelt tag says 1997 :/ fair comments then guys! Don't know whether to advertise as 96 as on logbook or 97? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 It's definitely a 97+ bud. Tiptronic didn't exist in 96. The DLVA make a balls of the paperwork all the time. It's a little concerning that none of the history of the car shows this though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Bandicoot Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 I'll go through the paperwork and see if I can notice anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of £20 for Japanese FM converter Receipt from "Arrow auto parts" for new battery 10/04/2015 Receipt from DVLA for private plate 05/07/2006 Various work/parts receipts Certificate of installation "Toad security" for cobra thatcham cat1 alarm. MOT from 03/06/2006 MOT from 04/07/2007 MOT from 01/06/2015 And some other little bits of paperwork. Nothing really to say it's a 1997. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crash Bandicoot Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 Hi all, I've lowered the price now by £500. The mileage is now a tad under 29,000. I will leave this advertised for 2 months, if it doesn't sell then I will be keeping it and going down the route of a v160/161 conversion. I am no longer in any rush to sell to fund the house as the money side of things our need has changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Is there history of the mileage before the TRD clock exchange? Or was it a factory option? I've always wanted one of these but was always worried of my mileage needing corrected, or being accused of having falsified it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Bandicoot Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 The import papers show the true mileage when it was imported, the trd clocks were put on before first MOT in the UK and had the mileage corrected from km, to miles. This is shown on the first UK MOT sheet it all matches up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
