rider Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Depends what it goes for and likely to get some helping hand bidding but Cat D repairable parked up UK red TT auto listed on eBay. Potentially good for parts if nothing else as beige interiors are rare if its all still in decent condition. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/rare-uk-spec-toyota-supra-twin-turbo-/122565533854?hash=item1c8979a09e:g:doMAAOSwVJhZUAfw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I doubt the drivers seat will be that great if its done 140k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I cant for one minute get excited about that advert, If I had a UK Spec Supra in the garage for 7 years and wanted to sell it I would have pushed it outside in the sunshine, polished it up in and out, cleaned the engine bay and took LOTS of pictures Money pit springs to mind, brave to take that on for restoration, parts maybe if you can get it running well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 It does make you wonder doesn't it, the owner knows its a rare car yet makes very little effort in selling it If its all original done 140k and not moved for 7 years it'll need a lot of tlc and parts just to get it running and driving I'd guess for starters the SMIC, Diff cooler, Water rad, Calipers, Valve stem seals, brake lines, fuel lines will all need a close look at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter P Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I'd hazard a guess the current keeper has spotted the current rise in values (even rolling shells are being advertised for good money!), and decided to test the water. Sad to see a UK model looking like this. Hopefully someone saves it, but I fear it's probably going to end up being a parts car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Bailey Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Yet its already gone up to £4,600, some brave people out there But it's Ebay, I'd say 90% of them are time wasters. It will be re-advertised soon due to "time wasters". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krister Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Ewww... I dont understand why people are that fond of UK spec cars when they look like that. I'd rather have a non rust JDM car than an UK car that has lived all it's live in the UK roads and salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 2 uk cars and neither are anything like that:d It must have been sat in a field for 7 years then in a garage for a month! That's what makes a good UK car worth having:d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rider Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 My JDM car has been in the UK for 19 years and it looks nothing like that. Years of sat in a non aired or dehumidified garage will do that to anything ferrous metal based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Right that's it I'm going to jack mine up and have a real good clean and assess, I'm sure they are clean underneath but this is making me all paranoid!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate to worry you more, but it's mainly what you can't see, it's not until you start taking things off, or checking the rears of brake line for example, that you find things are badly corroded and need replacing.

Scooter Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Brake lines are fine on both, had that little plastic thing off to check, but won't hurt to have a clean up and catch anything early. I Know my front cross member is good too but there is always leaves etc at the bottom of the rad aircon rad area. Will have a good clean up in general, a couple of small semi folded sills sections is all I "think" I will find that is of concern, but who knows without a good poke around.
