1996 Black Facelift Twin Turbo 6 Speed BPU

http://www.christopherwaters.co.uk/images/1.jpg

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 (http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/member.php?u=4223) - You can check his previous posts to see the history of the car.

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

Lookst nice buddy, best colour too.

Have the headlights been swopped out with painted pre-facelifts though?

Bumpski :)

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.

Scotster

Ahh right, yeah one of my chrome rings are looking a little tired now.

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.

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 ;)

Where have the GTRs gone?>

Would you like a PX with a BMW 530i sport? ;)

Opps just re read

How much with the wheels?

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 ;)

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.

Thanks for the comments guys :thumbs:

I've got one in my garage that never gets any use any more. I might be tempted.

It'll be my first bike, passed my test about a month ago, so I'm really only looking for a 600cc, think I'd kill myself on a Fireblade! Thanks for the offer though :)

Id love you car mate. But im spending 3 months in florida in august (Having to give up my job). So if i put my sensible head on i will need the 2k i would have to spend after i sold mine. Just incase i dont get a job quickly when i get back.


I hate sensible head :(


However if anyone wants to give me 8k right off the cuff for my car with no hastle i might consider it :p

An update:

The tyre tread on the standard 17" is pretty much at a minimum now, so I've bought 2 new 275/35 Bridgestone tyres for the 18" wheels and put those back on. I've also just fitted a Greddy Profec B Spec 2 Boost Controller, so now 1.2 bar is available at the press of a button :)

I also gave it a good wash and wax yesterday and now I really want to keep it! I'll leave it up for sale, but really in no rush to sell.

£10,500 with the 18" Rota's ;)
