Hi There :giveup:

 

Sorry to bother. But I am crazy for a UK Spec 96 or 95 Supra TT manual. Maybe somebody of you is thinkin about sellin his car or knows somebody that thinks about it.

 

For the right car, I will pay up to 16K. But for that amount it has to be a immaculate car, that's nearly like new.

 

I am lookin for a Silver, White or Black one. Either Tan or Black leather. Milage limit is 40K (20-30 would be the best). Preferable no bodykit except the veilside one. std. Turbos, exhaust and everything else should be unmodified, too...

 

I hope somebody can help me out.

 

Thanks...

My mate has a Storm blue UK, 32,000 miles. Full service history. It's running 1 bar but can be put back to stock. The rear box is a blitz with a standard exhaust tail! Mods done by TDI. Apart from that all standard. PM me if you're interested.

Forgot to say it's a manual - Just having the gearbox oil changed as i write this!

Sounds good... if it is a nur spec, its okay. Any further details? Pictures? 1 Bar is fine, also...

 

Thanks, Oliver

I believe it's a Nur spec. He is the second owner. The previous owner decided the exhaust tip was too big so the stock tip was welded on (nice job done). I haven't got a pic, it's completely stock looking, Very good condition, and drives nice too (I have driven it). If you PM me your email - I'll get the owner to get in touch with you directly. Oh, it's an L reg, so it could be a 94.

I was only joking ;)

 

Yeah, I could imagine that...

 

I saw a 96 red supra on performancecarcompany.com

 

unfortunately this car has been sold to somebody in ireland. It was a red 96 with tan leather, 27K miles, FSH, one previous owner and like new. Maybe, if somebody knows this guy, tell him, I will make him a good offer for that one.

I would seriously doubt there are any UK-spec's still with less than 40K miles on the clock. If there is then the car must have been off the road for ages... or simply just not used at all. Which in its own right maybe bad for the engine and other components.

A low milage UK-spec is now considered around the 50-60K miles. That is a car which has mainly been used during the summer and done about 5000miles per year if you're looking at a 95 reg plate.

 

Average milage cars are generally said to have done 10K miles per year. For a 10 year old car that puts 100K miles on the clock !

 

My UK-spec is only driven in the summer and has 58K miles on the clock .... but I'm not selling mine !!! LOL sorry dude.

 

 

Although I'm biased towards the UK-spec car.... I think you can't go wrong with buying a UK TT 6-speed... they are solid as a rock and £ for £ I think its the better buy. But the J-specs were still being produced in Japan until 2002? So if its low milage then you'll have to consider an import.

Just been asked by my mate to post this up regarding the car he may be selling. I got few of the details wrong! I have driven it and looks and drives superb. First Dibbs to Oliver by the way (c0c4in3)!

What's it worth?

Mods were done by TDi I think via Lexus

'piggy-back' over boost chip

 

^^ sounds like bollocks to me - bleed valve anyone? Possible FCD too?

 

It sounds like a very nice example but I'm still not sure why people want to pay such a premium for a UK spec over a J Spec, and it's funny how it's only the UK owners that are saying they are worth that much...
