Big Supes Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 After cleaning off some bird poop... UK rear lights will be going back on before the event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordy.r Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Well... a pair of rear upper arms would be nice. In all honesty, I don't think they could warrant the purchase of a mint UK car when owners around the country would be willing to loan theirs. They are going to lend me a GT86 for a week while my car is on the stand. That along with free tickets to Goodwood for Sabrina and myself, plus the opportunity to have my car featured in the dawn of a new era for "Supra", its more than enough for me. What an excellent opportunity and as mentioned, the photos will be epic! Don't think there's many other stock looking UK spec TT's around as nice as yours mate, well done on securing a once in a lifetime opportunity!

Big Supes Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 Cheers gordy! I've a few little bit 'n pieces to get sorted before hand, but confident he'll be in good form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Thanks Bobbeh. That's great coming from a veteran UK owner like yourself. I remember admiring your car around 10 years ago when I had my first SZ-R, thinking how I'd love to get my hands on a UK car. Thanks bud! [emoji106] hope it works out well for you!

Big Supes Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 Didn't realise it was silver too! #represent I think the colour is backed by how many were made by Toyota. They knew it was a seller. Silver FTW, but I still love so many other colours. Thanks bud! [emoji106] hope it works out well for you! Thanks mate. A once in a lifetime opportunity. Congratulations you can't get a better endorsement of your car than this. Thanks Eddie. It will certainly help when trying to justify the budget for upgrades, etc. That is such an opportunity. Congratulations. Thanks! Welcome to the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Supes Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) So, Toyota collected the Supra today... I didn't finish prepping the car until 10:30 last night, but we got there in the end. Brake calipers refurbed (superficially). New arch liner fitted - It had seen better days after being taken off and fitted numerous times. Wheels refurbished. While I was there I couldn't help but go over the underside with some hammerite. I'm a little OTT when it comes to preservation/rust. Valet and general spruce. The original plan was to refit the UK rear lights, but Toyota weren't adamant about it so I left the facelifts in. It isn't a straight forward job as the lights are spliced into the reversing sensors. No GT86's were available, but they left this for my troubles. Lexus 450 F Sport (hybrid) I have to say, it's a dream to drive. Reasonably quick and A LOT of comfort.

Bobbeh Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Nice! Had I have thought of the replacement car, I would have offered mine lol... even though I dont drive anywhere now! doh Great stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus GTE Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Just thought of this, back when Toyota displayed the MKIV Supra on stands at motor shows in the UK in or around '94/'95 it was a silver UK Spec that they used. So it's quite fitting to me that it's another Silver Supra on show once again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 Acrylic painting of the Big Supesmobile too? http://blog.toyota.co.uk/artist-paints-ft1 That would be awesome, but I can't see it happening. Worth asking though! Just thought of this, back when Toyota displayed the MKIV Supra on stands at motor shows in the UK in or around '94/'95 it was a silver UK Spec that they used. So it's quite fitting to me that it's another Silver Supra on show once again. The chap at Toyota actually mentioned about silver working well for what they wanted.
