Shilakadaddy Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 -- SOLD -- -- SOLD -- -- SOLD -- 1996 Black Facelift Twin Turbo 6 Speed BPU Unfortunately, as with many others, it would seem the time has come to sell my Supra. As I’m currently attempting to relocate down to Manchester, I need to save a bit of money and the Supra probably isn’t the best choice in car for a city centre! I’ll be very sorry to see it go, as with the rising costs in fuel and road tax I doubt I’ll ever get the chance to own a car like the Supra again! I’ve owned the car for almost 2 years, I’m only the second UK owner with the previous owner also being a mkivsupra.net member – chiefvinso - You can check his previous posts to see the history of the car. Vehicle Details 1996 N’ Reg Facelift Twin Turbo 6 Speed BPU – Currently running at 1.0 bar 67,000 Miles (Speedo currently reads 94,000 - 71,000 of these are Km) MOT until August 2008 Tax until January 2009 Originally imported in August 2005 through FuturAutos Factory Extras UK Spec Front and Rear Brakes Recaro Reclining Seats OEM Sideskirts OEM Spats OEM Active Spoiler Electric Folding Mirrors 17” Facelift Alloys Added Upgrades Blitz NurSpec RX Exhaust (the quiet one) Whifbitz Double Decat Tein Superstreet Coilovers (fully height and damper adjustable) Endless SSS Brake Pads Apexi Air Filter Walbro Fuel Pump Thor FCD Defi Boost Gauge and Control Unit Kenwood Head Unit & DSP 17cm Genesis Front Speakers Recent Work Carried Out 92,000 - Engine Oil and Filter Changed - Silkolene PRO S 10W-50 and Genuine Toyota Filter 92,000 - Gearbox Oil Changed – Genuine Toyota V160 Oil The condition of the car is excellent inside and out, and 100% mechanically sound. The only negative points with the car are cosmetic... In order to stop the 18” alloys I had fitted previously from rubbing, the rear arch lip had to be trimmed. I had this done at the very reputable bodyshop GVN Coachworks in London. Unfortunately the passenger side rear arch has started to rust slightly since this work was carried out, however so far the problem can only be seen when looking from the ground up at the arch. As I live so far from London I’ve never had chance to revisit GVN to have the problem rectified, although I’m sure if I had the guys would have done it cost free and may even be willing to offer some discount to the new owner. Aside from the usual car park dings and stone chips you’d expect to see on any road car, there’s also a small scrape on the front bumper and the sideskirts are cracked underneath. Ideally I'd like to get these resprayed, but as can be seen from the pics, its not exactly necessary. The tyre tread is a little low, all four are still well within legal limits, however these will need replacing soon. If I don’t get enough interest in the car at the current price, I’ll spend a small amount of money getting these problems resolved, making it mint condition, and re-advertise it with the 18” Rota GTR Alloys fitted, at a higher price. These wheels are available with the car if wanted (see garage for pictures). This is great opportunity to own one of the most desirable Supra models with almost every factory fitted upgrade available and all the added extras of a Facelift car such as newer front and rear lights, newer dash, black head lining, more advanced traction control with snow mode - the list goes on! £9995 ono Feel free to PM me if you want any additional info, or call me on 07890893039 Cheers, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Lookst nice buddy, best colour too. Have the headlights been swopped out with painted pre-facelifts though? Bumpski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shilakadaddy Posted May 10, 2008 Author Share Posted May 10, 2008 No they're still the facelift ones with the cleaner lenses, but I had to paint the inner mouldings all black as the chrome rings had started to flake badly. I tried painting them with chrome paint, but they just ended up looking grey, so figured all black was probably better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Ahh right, yeah one of my chrome rings are looking a little tired now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Very nice car. Just a thought but i think you should sell the Recaros seperately for cash and stock seats. they are pretty popular and i don't think stock seats would affect the resale on the car.

Scott Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 If there is a choice of 2 sups though, both similar and one has recaro's. Which one are you going to buy? Might not make a difference to the price but it certainly will to the appeal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyB Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Where have the GTRs gone?> Would you like a PX with a BMW 530i sport? Opps just re read How much with the wheels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlT67 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 That is a beautiful example, shame you are so far away and I already own a Supra Unless you are looking to free up some cash, still have supra looks but at lower running cost and would consider part ex for an n/a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shilakadaddy Posted May 10, 2008 Author Share Posted May 10, 2008 Most first time buyers only realise the rarity of recaros after they join here This is true, I didn't actually care that it had these seats when I bought it, but after driving it for long periods and realising how comfortable they are, I can see why people want them. I have considered swapping out various parts on the car for lower spec items (I think there's over £2k worth of extras), but as Scotster said, I'd like to leave them all on as it makes it one of the most complete "stockish" supras available DannyB and conncl, afraid I'll only be looking to spend a max of £2k on another car (if I get one at all) and it'll have to be a lot more economical than a 3.0l I was going to advertise the Rota's for £600 after I sold the car, but they do need 2 new rear tyres.
