Toyota Supra Twin Turbo RZ-S VVTI Tiptronic (MKIV Facelift) March 1998 ( R Registration)

 

I’ve not had this one very long, I purchased it at the beginning of the year with plans on keeping long term as an investment, but due to finally doing something sensible with my life I need cash for a house deposit and therefore I need to let it go. It’s just been sat in garage for last few months not being used so I just can’t justify holding on to it when I need to get a deposit together.

 

The car has plenty of club history, it was imported by ‘Ewen’ in June 03 for £23,350.00 with 4500 miles on the clock and it comes with all the purchase documentation, and pictures of the car at the time of importation included in the massive file of paperwork.

The previous owner ‘RACSupra’ purchased the car November 2014 and sold to me March 2018

 

Since owning the car I have only done a few bits, removed some dials installed in the glove box for a more OEM look, installed the HKS EVC 6-IR 2.4, installed some sound proofing in the doors and rear arches and moved the sub from under the front seat to the boot. I have also installed a newer steering wheel which I added AMG paddles for controlling the tip box. The car has had thousands spent on upgrading the suspension by the previous owner as can be seen from the parts list below, and it drives and handles amazing as you would expect! The only thing that bothers me is the road noise from the front tyres, if I was keeping the car longer I would have changed them next.

The car does have a couple of age related marks as noted below, it’s a 20 year old car after all, but overall the car is in amazing condition, I just wish I didn’t have to sell.
