RobSheffield Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 would it be nice if we could get a list of known importers. if mods/admin want this in the FAQ then u may move it. Instead of posting 'no idea' as in all the other of the 50+ threads i have just searched and read please actually suggest some importers. Then we can have a list of importers people have had good experience with even if they are only auctions at southampton, liverpool or bristol.

RobSheffield Posted December 28, 2004 Author Share Posted December 28, 2004 cheers buddy - im glad someone replied - im particularly interested in the southampton/liverpool/bristol port auctions where we could buy cars from a ship! im not interested in a quality car at high price, as i could repair or replace most items - i just want a car at a reasonable price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonball Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Hi M8 I import and will import to order! If quality is not an issue then you will be able to get cars from the auctions at Southampton - but they are mainly real (and I mean real) dogs that could not be sold elsewhere Give me a shout if I can point you where or how Cheers Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gordr Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Matt R -- Jap Scene Uk -- He deals in the import side of things....he makes sure all the cars are of high std Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted December 29, 2004 Author Share Posted December 29, 2004 thanks for the replies guys. im not sure how to do it now - im quite confused (sigh....doesnt take much ) what i had been thinking was that if i want to change the bonnet and 'nose' (yeah, i mean bumper) of the car then i didnt particularly need a pristine body on the car, and for example if i wanted to mod the engine then i didnt particularly think a mint engine would be neccesary. what i had thought was instead of buying a supra at £10,000 and putting, say for example £5,000 of parts on it, and having a load of spare bits, to spend 8000 on a slightly grotty TT and modify and replace the grotty bits from there. i hope you understand my rubbish explanation. i can explain it verbally, but im too tired after work to properly write it out here! had thought that popping along and picking up a freshly imported supra from the docks with, for examle, a crunched nose, and then replacing it with an aftermarket one would be a better idea. anyone agree?!

Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 i sold my supra tt 94 with 78 thousand miles, due to family problems for 8,500 and it had new clutch, new tyres and the bodywork was immac, so u just have to keep ur eyes open for cars, like these.

JamesArup Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 I got my car off Ben Linney at GT-Culture (aka Linney.org) about a year and a half ago now. It's been a great car all the time I've had it, and he always seems to have stunning examples available. I can't recommend him highly enough in my experience! AND .... Just bought an R32 GTR off him too - LOL Cheers, J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 I got my car off Ben Linney at GT-Culture (aka Linney.org) about a year and a half now.

Guest Ben @ GT-C.com Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 Cheers J mate. Glad the Zeek Supra is well. I think the guys mentioned in this thread and others could go into a MKIV database... i think the old one includes alot of guys not around anymore.

hadyn Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 are vine place any good then??? their stock list seems to have some tidy standard looking TTs http://www.vine-place.co.uk/splash.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonball Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 If anyone wants to view the three manual TT's and the Aero SZ I have available they are all nicely stored away now - happy to arrange a visit at anytime! Also - and lets be brutally frank here guys - there are a load of people with supras up for sale / available - and at the end of the day you get what you pay for. If you buy from strangers - you are taking the complete risk with a great deal of money - your decision - once off their forecourts - how much interest will they take in it and you?
