Bought new Supra TT from UK, hope i can learn everything i can from this forum!

Hello everyone!

I've been lurking and i finally found a supra that I have made the leap to purchase !

Its an 1995 Supra Twin turbo Converted into an Single turbo.

Im still very new to the Supra scene but i am very eager to learn as much as i can for this supra.

If anybody wants more info or something looks of on the car please let me know. Thanks for reading!

Welcome, if you have any questions then this is probably the best forum to ask them in the technical or chat sections. Hopefully the car came to you with history on the maintenance and mods so you know what has been done to it over the years.

yes, i do have an extensive list of what kinds of maintenance and mods have been made to this car, and im very excited on this new journey ahead of me I will be driving the car back from UK to germany though so i have that going for me haha.

I guess one question i do have is, im gonna be flying into London Stansted airport to to go see this car, is there any close supra mechanics that can do an full inspection on this car for me?

Wow, nice car and sounds like that will be an epic road trip. Hope you and the car make it with no issues, it will certainly show up any!

Appericate it! I'm very excited for this car, and I hope the same too !

You could try speaking to Paul Whiffin at Whifbitz, he has a garage 30 miles from Stansted

Hopefully you aren't heading to see a particular 2 centres dealers car around High Wycombe/Berkshire?

Is there a way I can get in contact with this person? I'm at work so I don't know the exact details of the website or how to contact him.

No, but that's the other Supra 1993 twin turbo correct? I have seen that ad before. Is there a reason why you mention this?

I have reached him through email, thanks for the advice!

which dealer is it?

My bad, wasn't a dealer, it was an private seller

Well done on the purchase, seen it advertised and removed within an hour.

Only concern about the car/price is it wasn’t a forged engine otherwise looked very good.

Awesome thanks so much for the response! I am very happy with the purchase but can't wait to see it. Is there anything I can do when I purchase the car about it not being a forged engine? And should I go to paul whiffins garage to go get it inspected just in case? How well known is he for doing inspections? Thanks for all the responses!

Just google High Wycombe and Subaru or Supra and you'll get a few hits. Lots of threads, the Scooby forum makes for best reading.

Would it not be an idea to maybe pay a little extra and ask the seller to take the car for inspection (local) at your cost prior to collection?

so the owner did an brand new MOT for me today and it passed with no advisories. I was just wondering if it should still be inspected by a supra specialists if there was anything else that needs to be check out, cause from what i can tell this is exactly what i wanted in a supra.

Hey guys, what is the best way of travel back from UK to Germany? I see the chunnel, what exactly would be needed to travel back?

You can just turn up at the tunnel and get the next available train but cheaper i think to book

in advance if possible

Looks cheaper if you book a day trip return and just don't bother using the return, not sure

if that's allowed

Day trip return is as low as £23 going out and £30 for the return

Cheapest one way is £84 that i can see

You will need the whole V5 registration document from the current owner to help you register it back in Germany (worth confirming this with the owner here as it's not normal to give the whole V5 on a sale, only an export sale)

Without knowing the price it's hard to advise on inspection.

The mot passing is a good thing, but obviously doesn't mean it's completely ok, safest route is full inspection etc etc etc however I'd try for some video's perhaps from the current owner as I suspect he isn't going to arrange all that for you. I take it he knows you are going to drive it back to Germany? if so it would be harsh (and I think unlikely) to sell to you with a known running issue that might stop you doing that? How is the seller coming across to you, often selling to someone coming from abroad puts them off as it's a potential hassle for all.
