rider Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 Tempting seeing as it looks 100% stock but offers invited and they have it up for £30k Apart from front seats Their company website says £25k with offers invited with the eBay ad saying £30k offers invited. I've sent them a message about the cloth seats so hopefully they will amend the ad, and maybe the price expectations? Its only got a bitsy MOT history and is not currently holding a MOT to so its been off the road for a lot of years since records online commenced in 2006. So quite a few things to haggle over.

Tyson Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) I know this car, see it around quite a lot. Guy has had it for a few years. Its lovely Do you know the guy as in speak to him ? It’s got some confusing details on the DVLA websites (mot and tax) as well as on a basic free hpi check. One has it down as a 3000 cc engine and another as 2954 of which both are incorrect. All UK cars were registered as 2997cc and one of the sites lists it as a 5 speed manual. It also shares the same engine number as another UK car which has significantly more mileage than this shell circa 122k when it was exported 5 years ago. It appears it had a manual box at some point and the original engine has been removed/sold and replaced with a second hand one. The way the engine number has been entered on the V5 as well is not how it would have done when first registered which again points towards a replacement engine. Strong money for a car that’s been messed around with. Edited January 16, 2020 by Tyson (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyson Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 That’s not to say it’s not a nice car though. Be interested to see underneath though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 Received this reply from the seller as to why the car has cloth seats. Not sure I've ever heard this before so I have recommended they contact Tyson for a run down on all things UK Supra related. The Toyota factory ran out of leather at end of production Before people take the piss, remember not everyone is a Supra expert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I smell something I think it’s bullshit as that’s not a late car. It looks like a clean straight car though.

Dnk Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) All seems a little iffy now and to attract the top money it needs to be a matching numbers car and not be messed about with. The sellers response regarding the seats is dire which really puts me off along with the £30k price tag Edited January 17, 2020 by Dnk (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Do it! Be great to see you back in a Supra. Thanks Noz I've looked at a couple now but for me to part with £20k + they must be spot on and preferably 100% stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
