blitzer Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Hi there from Rome , my name is Adriano and i'm 27 (yesterday!). Initially joined this community only for importing a Supra, but found very good technical info and friendship spirit, you are great people, you know? After three years of happy 200sx ownership (cheers to all sxoc members here) i was looking to import my dreamcar from Uk/German (because Supras are very rare in Italy) when i had what we usually call "a big lucky kick in the ass" .....looking on autoscout24.de i found a Supra in Italy, Left hand drive, great condition and at very good price! What a lucky bugger i am! 1995 Aerotop TT 6speed imported from Germany by the first, rich owner; car was used very rarely cruising around Modena and most of the time stored in a "heated" box for the last 12 years....now it's mine and i'm loving it every moment . Will post pics soon. Sorry for my schoolish english Cheers Adriano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blitzer Posted June 8, 2007 Author Share Posted June 8, 2007 Thanks guys, here Supras MkIV doesn't have market at all, i'm not sure if it was officially sold in Italy; there are only few importers and price for a TT6 imported to Italy are more or less: Rhd J-spec starting from 16.000£ / 24.000€ Lhd Euro starting from 20.000£ / 30.000€ These are base price for model in average/good condition; with major mods or really low mileage the price climb up rapidly. Paid my car 14.000£ / 21.000€, that's why i have a big smile on my face . Just a couple of things that needs attention, a major service and she's ready for the hot summer. Hey it's an Aerotop, so not everybody cup of tea . Bone stock apart from 18" wheels. Stupid ride height at the front because wheel is in a hole http://xoomer.alice.it/blitz80/pics/cars/supra/800/supra01 http://xoomer.alice.it/blitz80/pics/cars/supra/800/supra02 http://xoomer.alice.it/blitz80/pics/cars/supra/800/supra03 Notice the best part of the dash, Jeeg keychain http://xoomer.alice.it/blitz80/pics/cars/supra/800/supra04 Aero view, my s14a on the left http://xoomer.alice.it/blitz80/pics/cars/supra/800/supra05 Leather seats in really good nick, apart from the driver seats in the left part, too fatty owner?! http://xoomer.alice.it/blitz80/pics/cars/supra/800/supra06 Not sure if i like the wheels....however first mods i will do: graphics f&f style, underbody neons and exhaust flame kit, any other ideas? OK ok, only joking , i will go for: refurbishing my euro headlights (one have a small leak) facelift style, clear front/side indicators, new discs/pads and some of the bpu mods. Cheers Adriano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 That looks in very good condition Adriano, sounds like you were very lucky to find such a good example. Are Toyota replacement parts and aftermarket Japanese branded prices expensive in Italy? I'm a trader on here and can supply most Toyota and Japanese branded parts at very good prices. If I can help with any advice or prices for anything just get in contact. Enjoy cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic: Japan/Usa aftermarket parts price are crazy high in Italy, i bought 99% of my 200sx parts in Japan, Usa and of course Uk (apexperformance, driftworks,ecc.). I'll give a ring very soon .
