James Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 There can be only one. Welcome to the forum. Get some more pics of the car up - we like pictures here. Looks as though the rear badge has been messed with at some point as it looks a little squint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Welcome James! As above, whats with that rear badge? Fix it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus GTE Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Welcome You’ll find there are some differences with it being a UK in regards to going BPU but nothing bad, just check when you’re buying parts. White with ivory interior? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jord Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Welcome James. I think Tyson might be interested with updating the register so might be worth posting here: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?242550-UK-Spec-Supra-Register Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Lucky you! hope you found it direct and before a dealer whacked their premium on it. First rwd take it easy come oct! (what make of tyres does it currently have?) and the stock traction control is considered rubbish to the point of dangerous in some peoples eyes. Enjoy the coming months a great time to buy one :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James. Posted May 1, 2018 Author Share Posted May 1, 2018 Yeh it’s white with the cream colour leathers. I did buy it direct from the previous owner iv known for years with lots of paperwork and full service history. iv had my eye on it a while and finally got the deal done yesterday! As for the badge I didn’t notice that just figured that’s how it was, I’m a qualified car painter done it for years so I know the cars right as far as crashes go etc, it’s just been sat a while and needs some TLC over the next few months so probably won’t be out in it properly for abit.

Edit: can’t remember the make of top of my head not with the car right now. I was just in 'Dad' mode a bit, it would be a shame to finally get a nice one and it catch you out one cold damp morning. Best of luck with the tidying up, keep us posted on progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James. Posted May 3, 2018 Author Share Posted May 3, 2018 Thanks for all your comments. I’ll post up some pictures when I get cracking on with the car. See what you mean about the traction control , doesn’t seem to work to well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
