Look at the front of the car, it's clearly had a smash. Nothing lines up, look at the bonnet shut lines, front wings/door shut line and the state of the front bumper. Could make a good drift car though at the right price if it's a SZ-R.

exactly, but what more do you want for £1k, its perfect for drift/track use

75000 miles :rlol:

It's 20 years old and both the steering wheel and carpets are worn through. Same old story again and again with the majority of supras now.

Don't think I've seen that going about

Possibly lives in Kemnay. Don't think I've seen it before either.

Surely you could break that for parts and make the 1100 back? and maybe some more?

I saw this topic and just went to look at it to see what the story was. It is rough very rough, front end is almost warped and alloy bonnet has been painted badly clearly following a crash. Tracking is 90 degrees out and clicks n bangs when near full lock, terrible noises from the rear when going over speed bumps and is mis firing. To top it off drivers sill is rotten and bootlid is also showing early signs of corrosion as is a few other areas like the door shuts etc. he said 1k was his lowest price, I wouldn't buy it but I think it's worth 600 to break for maybe 800 as it's standard with almost every part worn badly, even the wheels are poor.

An honest verdict

Knew it would be bad and not even worth it.

Close enough

Haha! I got the feeling the guy bought it smashed with intention to restore it. Somewhere along the line he has realised its bent I think as when I mentioned measuring the wheelbase his face dropped and started acting nervously. He did say a guy was making the 5 and a half hour drive from Northumberland to buy it, hope it's not to dark when he gets there :/

Looks like another one heading for the big scrap pile in the sky

it has the same front bumper as mine

Take it you viewed the car? Where was it located?

It was in Kemnay Aberdeenshire. I'm actually working on the power lines near Kintore so was only a 10 minute drive from site. Glad I had a look at it any supra at that price is worth a shout but this was in my opinion to far gone, and most likely has a bent chassis.

Is this the same motor? Looks like a dealer has picked it up if it is..

Well the ad has finished now, has someone here bought it....

That's the car! The owner said someone from England was coming to look at it. Can't believe the asking price having seen it :O
