Agree about the colour choice, white is the very best colour (after gunmetal obviously) :)

Where in Wilts are you from ?

civic sam,
I went to buy that one but you already had it so I got the red veilside one, I was just driving it away after buying it while you were looking at the white one.

I'm a red veilside but i must admit the white does look stylish, good choice.

Im 99% shure ive seen this car before!!

Did you get it from a garage in Bradford? It looks exactally the same as one I went to see, and i recognise the red floor!

Was it up for just under 7k? and it has no alarm and imobalizer?

marc_p
29-01-08, 11:20
yeah it was in bradford but at 5895 I do believe.

They have had it a few months but it is a fresh import as he is the first registered keeper of it in the uk (apart from the garage)

But I can say I thought it was a tidy example apart from a little rust on the middle of the boot seal and the inside could possibly have a quick spruce up.

Like I said im 99% its the one that I went to see with matt. And im also shure that DannoSupra mrs looked at it too when she was looking for her white one.

It did look ok but I just decided against it.

Do you think its the one I saw back in August 07?

Could be, was the garage next to the football stadium?

i think its been forsale for a fair while as ive been keeping an eye on it. and i got to the stage where i couldnt find a white one so i had to have it!
im a mechanic for a subaru importer, and tvr garage and i had it on the ramp yesterday and its spotless underneath! and i knocked him down to 5400 cos of the wheels and a few other bits like the rust!
prob a grade 3 i would reckon!
i live in calne, wiltshire. and yes it had no alarm or immobilizer til yesterday, then i fitted a nice new sigma cat 1. should help with insurance!
it drives so well and drifts like a biatch. so im well happy

Hi there i too have been eyeing up there white supras as i am a newbie on the prowl for a white TT? What did you think of Jap Performance UK as a company to deal with as they have another white supra, although im a tad concerned that there 58K miler has had both turbos replaced?

Can someone please advise whether this is a no-go?

many thanx

inazone.

Hi, looks nice - see you in town then !! Are you Alice's son?

civicsam
06-02-08, 19:24
yes i am her son! how did you know?

and in reply to jap performance, yes they are an ok company, i wouldnt believe everything he says and i dont think the cars are a genuine as he says, but im happy with my car, and as you probably know its always funny dealing with them lot, but he seems a nicer chap than most!

i dont think i would buy from them again as its way too far to travel and bradford is a horrible place!

Jap Performance UK is probably the decent place to buy from in Yorkshire, i've personally dealt with them, buy high grade cars,

Also had a friend buy a scooby from them has never had any problems,
