Price reduction!

 

I bought this car in 2004 and have taken great care of it and enjoyed it ever since. It was completely stock when I bought it, and the original importer only had it a few months before selling to me, so I'm the 2nd UK owner and I have all receipts & invoices since. The car has been fully serviced regularly once or twice a year by the Supra experts at Phoenix/Whifbitz/SRD, and every recommendation or advice has been attended to, including extras or non-essential maintenance. In short, no expense has been spared in looking after this car and it has been maintained regardless of cost. As I've had the car so long I can answer all questions regarding its history.

 

I much prefer to sell to someone in the club, I've enjoyed the car immensely and have spent a lot of time and money on it - I want to see it appreciated and looked after the same way I've done myself.

 

Reason for sale - 13 years is a long time to own a car, time for a change, that's it! Still, it's hard to let it go.

 

I'll list it for sale here for a few weeks, if no bites then I'll advertise elsewhere. Thanks for looking [GRIN][/GRIN]

BPU with stock twin turbos

Walbro fuel pump

Iridium plugs

Chris Wilson SMIC

 

Transmisson

Getrag V161 6-speed with about 65k miles, installed 2014 by Lee @ SRD - car was originally an auto. There is a whirring sound at idle but Lee assured me it's within normal tolerance levels, shifts etc work perfect, no knocks, clunks or grinds.

Exhaust:

Veilside Titanium Teardrop

Double decat

PERFORMANCE(see dyno sheet in my garage):

Good bits: a well-maintained 6-speed twin turbo facelift in the most desirable colour with tasteful mods, close to stock, BPU, drives great, will make someone very happy.

 

Bad bits: one or two of the blue dash LEDs need replacing, drivers side door seal will need replacing at some point, some laminate peel near passenger side rear wheel arch where it was knocked, the usual headlight discolouration which is a common problem, no alarm currently fitted but wiring is there.

 

Price: £18,000
