ARPUS Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 UK SPEC AUTO- BOUGHT !!!! You won't believe this, but I have just bought my old car back after 11 months of searching. (Thank you for all the help I received from club members and the 17k people who viewed this thread. I WAS EXTREMELY LUCKY TO FIND IT----------- A top quality, ( or potential to be ) Red UK spec manual ( preferred ) or auto Supra, with as near to standard body and engine as possible. If it's in great condition, but just needs a respray, that's OK too. I sold my Red UK spec auto Supra, 2 years ago and have regretted it ever since. IT MUST BE RED !!! I'm a mature chap and a genuine buyer and have the cash waiting, for the right car. I want to try and get a manual first, before going for the auto option. Please private message me, if you are considering selling. Thank you, Steve ( ARPUS ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Supes Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 There is currently a red UK for sale in the classifieds section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARPUS Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 It is an option japone, but probably quite expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARPUS Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 Thanks Big Supes, I know about Mr. U's resprayed auto, but i'm trying for a manual first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 No probs. Thought I'd mention it as there can't be too many red UK 6sp's around. If you're not in hurry, you never know though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARPUS Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 It will be a matter luck and coincidence Big Supes, but if a manual owner sees my advert, it just might trigger a response from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abtin90 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Josh has the exact car your after though I doubt he'll sell. Though it may be worth sending him a cash offer as everything has a price ; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyson Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 It's worth noting that it doesn't have a uk spec engine anymore so may not have the originality you're after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARPUS Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 Thanks Tyson, I didn't know that. It would have to be almost completely original. I have messaged Josh, but he hasn't replied yet. I'm interested in the Classic Car status of the UK Supras. I obviously like the speed and power, but the best parts are the interior and the the beautiful styling of the body shape. It could be an Italian supercar !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Like I said it's the wrong time of year to be buying really, I'd wait a few months when the cars start coming out of hibernation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARPUS Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 Hello Tyson, Thanks for your advice. I'm not very good on the computer and have sent you a couple of private messages recently, but my screen says, they remain unread. Can you check please ? This is the only other way I know, to contact you. ( Steve ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARPUS Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 I know there aren't many Red UK spec manual Supras about, but if you own one and are thinking of selling, please private message me. Thank you, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 It's worth noting that it doesn't have a uk spec engine anymore so may not have the originality you're after The snorkel is missing from the top of the engine, but I've asked the previous owner (bignum) and he has confirmed that the engine is the original that was in there when he bought the car (15 years ago now), so this is just speculation. I'm not planning on selling any time soon, but as I've mentioned in PMs to you, if I do plan on selling, I will let you know first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes sorry my wording was a bit off what I meant was it wasn't completely original, does it have UK spec turbos and injectors ? I thought these were replaced with jspec ones after the single turbo was taken off and it was converted back to stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought these were replaced with jspec ones after the single turbo was taken off and it was converted back to stock. I've asked lots of questions about the car and from what I've been told, it was fitted with hybrid turbos after the single setup was removed and the fuel injectors are 550cc injectors, but not OEM ones. I would like to put it all back to stock at some point. Either that, or single it and change everything under the bonnet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Still for sale http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?224827-96-uk-supra-manual https://www.facebook.com/nigel.boyne?fref=ts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARPUS Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 Hello Jellybean, Thanks for contacting me. Do you know for a fact that Nigel Boyne's Supra is still for sale? If so, is there an updated advert ? If it's only on facebook, I'm not on it and I'm not a computer person. I don't understand the things he's done to it, but would obviously get more information, if I was really interested. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
