Anyone Own...

Just wondering if there any specialist dealers in the UK? Heaps of em stateside and some really nice tuning parts. :)

I'm thinking of buying one in the near future, manual if I can find a good one. Hopefully I won't have to ship from the states, if I do it will all be together freight style!

TIA.

Hiya,

I suggest you try posting on the UK Mark III owners club forum at www.mkiiisupra.net. Membership is free. There are always cars up for sale. eBay seems to do a roaring trade in MKIII's too as does Autotrader.co.uk.

Good luck! :)

Cheers mate, I've been keeping a keen eye on eBay and autotrader for awhile now. Just waiting for the right one to come along. I'm quite picky about the spec of th eone I am going to put the cash down to so it might take some time!

MkIII buying guide

I was actually looking at a Supra on eBay at the moment.

Linky.

I've read the 1G-GTE isn't the most popular of Supra's to by and modify, but I was looking for one to use occasionally while I sort things out, so the only modification I would probably do would be an exhaust and maybe a mechanical boost controller.

I'm keeping my on it to see if its still on budget nearer the time!

Thanks for the link. B)

if all he's done in seven years is change the tyres and the Battery i'd be expecting a big bill shortly after you buy it :D

However at that price.......

I was offered £5k for one pretty similar at billing last year.. not sure how tidy that one is...

the 1G is a good engine (still in use in non turbo form inthe IS200) performance is similat to that of a uk spec 3.0T, although the 3.0 has more bottom end grunt.

The narrowbody 2.0TT is also a fair bit lighter and as a result feels far more nimble.

In that auction hes not stated what trim it is.. if its got the active damping and digidash etc...

I'm afraid I won't be going for it as I just bought a Nissan 200SX from eBay, cost me £560 with 12months MOT and 6 months tax, with a large service history, new clutch and engine rebuild.

Picking it up next weekend!

One problem, it's pearlescent pink. Which doesn't bother me as it will be a project car so will more than likely be getting sprayed sometime soon.

:)

Still want a Supra, I coud always resell the Nissan for quite a large profit (about £1500) and get a Supra. Will see if I like the 200's first! :)
