MaRkYbOy72 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Seems like this could be a good buy? Is it really an R-reg? How genuine do you think he is being? Does anyone know anything about this car? Is is worth driving a couple of hours each way? Whats everyone's thoughts? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/R-1998-Toyota-Supra-Aerotop-Facelift-Model-Rare-L-K_W0QQitemZ130175374443QQihZ003QQcategoryZ18290QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 it's rare for sure and with a stock front and rear wing it'll look great, it could well be a 98, they did make them till that year in aero form so it's at least a 96, the rear bumper or nearside rear quarter has been sprayed as the colour match is pretty bad, and it's not a vvti as they never produced them in japan on the n/a's, only in the USA Tom.

d00gzy Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 loving the front bumper! not as cool as my R reg lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 also phone him up and find out who imported it, as if it really is a 98 it would have needed an ESVA, and I'm near on 100% there's not a model report for the aero n/a! I guess they may have got it through the standard model report for the n/a though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Eeek. What the hell is that at the front? It looks good though, well once the front and the spoiler has been changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 looking again the bonnet it a different colour too, so that jumps out to me that it's had a smack probably doing the front and rear in one go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miko_supra Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 the rear bumper or nearside rear quater has been sprayed as the colour match is pretty bad isn't the colour match on most of the rear bumpers different? someone told me that it was because they were all sprayed at a different place before assembly (this might not be true) but most supras i've seen suffer from this never seen that bumper before. is it supposed to be a 360 copy?

Tee from China Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 also phone him up and find out who imported it, as if it really is a 98 it would have needed an ESVA, and I'm near on 100% there's not a model report for the aero n/a! I guess they may have got it through the standard model report for the n/a though. It actually states that it is a 97 (1st November 1997) on an 'R' reg - so doesn't need an ESVA or even an SVA either just an MOT as it's now 10 years old!

CJ Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 It actually states that it is a 97 (1st November 1997) on an 'R' reg - so doesn't need an ESVA or even an SVA either just an MOT as it's now 10 years old! But he says he imported it 4 months ago which would have meant it was under 10 years old. Quite a lot of ambiguities though eh? He says 1998 car then 1997. Vvti but it isn't etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 i remember someone saying they spotted this coming off a boat somewhere and commented on the front bumper. It wasnt very long ago (less than a year) Bad for cooling though unless its ducted very well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaRkYbOy72 Posted November 19, 2007 Author Share Posted November 19, 2007 So, is the general consensus to walk away then chaps? Just seemed like it could have been a good buy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 So, is the general consensus to walk away then chaps? Just seemed like it could have been a good buy? How far away are you? Might be worth a drive. Or maybe ask a member to look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Is it me or am I the only one concerned by his username DIRTYGAY?! EDIT: OK, I had a lapse in my reading ability there and it's actually Dirty GAV. All is ok then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Is it me or am I the only one concerned by his username DIRTYGAY?! I think you'll find it's DIRTYGAV - wishful thinking on your part maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 If you do go and look at it have a hard look at the paintowrk. it may just be the shading and light but it looks like a few different shades on the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I think you'll find it's DIRTYGAV - wishful thinking on your part maybe? I think you'll find you're about 10 ecs too slow from my last post edit CJ! Wishful thinking to think you could correct me first, on your part ....in any case you're right, I'm a plank.
