Guest fredd1e Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Only recently spotted this forum. I am the proud owner of a unique UK Spec Supra TT Auto. It is the only UK model that has been manufactured in a metallic brown bodywork & beige leather interior. I bought it when it was a mere 2 months old via RRG Toyota who have serviced it religously throughout its years. I've had 100K+ miles of pure pleasure from this beast & can recall many mad moments that I wouldn't get away with today. As I am reluctantly (ill health) looking to get a more sedate means of transport, I look forward to checking out this forum for advise & comments on other members experiences.

michael Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 The colour sounds horrific but welcome aboard I need to see some photos of the car, what's the history behind it being in that colour? I didn't think Toyota went for custom orders like that, was it resprayed on arrival in the UK or at the factory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest fredd1e Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 The guys @ RRG told me that this is a standard Toyota colour & according to their records was requested by the previous celebrity owner, only to get rid of it after six weeks as his wife kept laddering her tights when getting in to drive the beast!!! Although the colour does sound horrific, I can tell you that with the metallic finish.... its a real head turner. I intend to d/l some pics pretty soon (following a wash+wax) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest fredd1e Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Hey guys be gentle with me, who/what is MSB (most significant bit??) You may know the previous owner by his catchphrase "Look what you could have won" The company I worked for at the time booked him for a gig @ the Belfry @ £80/minute....nice work if you can get it, but just look at what you could have got!!!
