hogmaw Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Like the thread says - someone mentioned the other day that as vvti supras will soon be 10 years old, they will be exempt from the modal report which has so far restricted their import and registration in the UK. Is this the case, and if so does that mean we'll be seeing a flood of freshly imported vvti supras in the near future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 I would imagine so, along with revision 5 MR2 Turbos and a few other tasty cars. Then the prices will really topple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Don't expect much of a "flood" though - they only made a few dozen per month in the last few years. And a lot of those of those were NA or Tips. Not that it matters, and I dunno if it's right but I heard they only carried on producing them to satisfy some rule about racing them. 'Homologation' or somesuch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 There's sure to be a few more coming in, but I'd imagine they're mostly going to be higher spec/mint ones. Lets face it the market is flooded already and supply has far out-stripped demand. The production numbers were dropping considerably until 96ish, but then moved to almost nothing after Aug 08. That leaves only 1 year of any relatively decent volume of cars that *may* come over. Many of these are NA models so that still leaves very few proper spec TT's.

Pete Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Is this the case, and if so does that mean we'll be seeing a flood of freshly imported vvti supras in the near future? Like I said in the other thread, yes this is the case. There won't be a flood though, and they will be expensive at first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Out of interest what was the rev 5 MR2??? didnt know they did one past rev 3 MR2 SW20 Revision 5 The final revision of the MR2 MkII is another facelift featuring another major change to the shape of the spoiler which, on the Rev 5 is adjustable and is known as the 'Combat' spoiler! The style, but not the diameter, of the Alloy wheels was changed and there were other minor detail points to the internal and external styling. The big difference beneath the engine cover was the upgrade to the 3S-GE engine which was give Variable Valve Timing to boost its power output to around 200bhp without any significant increase in standard petrol consumption figures. This is one of the first implementations of the new engine technology now used by Toyota in most of its current day cars and for many owners the extra cost of Revision 5 models is justified by the changes to the engine alone.
