Set of very good 'Pure Sport' mats on eBay.

[j_jza80]

Just seen these, although the pics aren't great they do appear to be in great order. Not dirt cheap, but not too bad for original mats if they're as good as they look

Good man. Bid :-)

 

 

[Marty]

I put a cheeky last second bid in on them and still didn't win

I might buy some bride mats, they look great quality, not cheap though

[j_jza80]

They went for strong money, did look good though.

[Spunkmeyer]

Blimey what a price

No doubt for sale on a certain Facebook page soon for £500

Didn't realise these went for so much

 

I've let mine go over the years and they're a bit tatty now, would've made more of an effort if I knew they were that expensive to replace!

[Mike2JZ]

Aside from the cool factor that they are factory originals, I absolutely hated mine. Look terrible imo

[Pudsey]

Christ I thought at £90 they were expensive.

 

Guess someone really wanted them

[mwilkinson]

I bid up to £125 for them. I wouldn't go higher as they are missing the plastic heel cover.

 

They might not be to everyone's taste but I've yet to find an aftermarket equivalent that are as well made and as durable.

This. With the exception of the rainbow/confetti pattern deep pile OEM carpets, the pure sports are the best you can get.

I let a set of these and an OEM carbon wheel go in my NA 6 speed for £4500. Would be worth £11k for that lot now

I have a set of these sitting in my Supra. The driver heel area is a tiny bit scuffed up but for 110k miles they are holding together really well.

I got these

 

 

 

[KamaSupra]

I've got these mats in my Supra in excellent condition and the rainbow / confetti ones out of my old Supra just sat in my understairs cupboard, I never realised they go for this kind of price

I'll look after the ones in your cupboard? [emoji16]

 

Really want a set of the "rainbow/confetti" mats

[Style]

And I bought my NA6 for £4500 Had the mats but no wheel

 

I've NA-T'd it with high quality parts since and been told I'd be lucky to £12k for it now, the market is weird!

[Ric]

I've got these sat in my loft.

 

The guy used to work in a toyota dealer and apparently they were in the back of the stock room for years.

 

No idea if they are OEM in the end but they come with everything, hangers and all the fitting hardware.

Personally I'd say your car would be worth in excess of £15k. Even if it is na-t, it's still a facelift 6 speed single turbo built with quality parts.

That's the way I looked at it. The only difference between my car and a TT out the factory is basically the head on the engine and associated parts (ECU, intake). But I can understand the purist side as well to a certain extent

And the VIN plate.

[j_jza80]

And the VIN plate.

 

Which really doesn't matter when you're looking at buying a heavily modified car, so long as it's been built by someone that knows what they're doing, with quality parts, and it's been looked after. No one looking to put away a Supra as an investment is going to buy a modified one anyway.

[rider]

I am.

 

Any car that is rising in value is by definition investible. And, even modified cars are rising in value although not at the same rate that stock ones are or will in the future. The VIN plate determines what the car can be returned to one day should anyone wish to do that via a stripped rolling shell or as a project so is a valuable asset even on a modded car.

 

Here is a good example of what a VIN plate is worth on an investible car:

Not when you offset the associated costs Good luck running a Supra without spending a small fortune on more modifications, fuel, tax, insurance, consumables etc. The best way of looking at it is that the rising value offsets the cost against running something more affordable. You'll need £30k plus to buy anything like a true investment spec car, and the price you'll pay is that it never gets used, for fear of damage and adding dreaded mileage. I look after a small collection of classics, one of which is most definitely an investment

[rider]

Last 12 months I spent £1/mile on my car and it went up £5k in value more than I spent. Fear of repeating myself here but anything that rises in value is by definition, investible. Of course, if my car was a 10k miler it would have risen in value closer to £15k judging by the low milers being advertised now in Japan. If a museum piece is worth £100k then even a dog example of the same car will be worth £10k which, in the instance of the Mustang I linked to shows how much rust can be worth allied to the right VIN plate. No one is asking if that Mustang has done 10k miles or 250k miles. Or even what condition it is in. They are bidding only on the VIN plate.

 

All Supras will be worth something, those with the right VIN will be worth substantially more than those without a desirable VIN. That's just how things go in the investible car market.
