Faults:

Head gasket and the usual stuff repaired before my purchase a couple of years ago. The car has been faultless in my ownership. Do your research before buying one of these, detailed history is a must!

General Comments:

Well since paying Gran Turismo in the 1990's I have always loved this car.

Metallic black, 1988 Supra. Iconic.

Very fun to drive and fast. Maybe not fast by today's standards, but it goes as quick as I need it to, but I just like to cruise in it, the car is mint and I want to keep it that way!

Very cool 1980's looks.

Dated interior, but surprisingly comfortable and refined.

Wouldn't say the manual transmission was rare, but most were automatics when I was looking, glad I held out for a manual - just more fun to drive.

My dream car, what more can I say, I love it! If you are reading this, you probably know all about the Supra. If you are thinking of buying, as mentioned, do your homework and do not buy accident damaged examples!

Faults:

Aircon inop.

Head gasket went (uneconomical to repair)

General Comments:

I'd always wanted a Supra. I think they look great, and being a Toyota should be reliable.

I saw this one advertised for £1,000, it was in a light met blue, had lowered suspension, different alloys, came with a raft of service bills and except the a/c (needed a re-gas), everything worked.

So I bought it for £850 after some haggling. The first thing I regretted was buying an auto, the performance was O.K, but not exactly quick, and its the last time I buy a modified car, you only had to half push it round a bend, and the tyres started chirping, the ride was knock your fillings out hard, and the camber on the rear wheels made it look a bit stupid. I can't understand why people do cars up in the first place, just buy something better that's designed to be quick/handle really well etc and be done with it!

If I did buy another it would be a Supra Turbo, unmodified and spoilt by some pillock who dosn't know what he's doing, and have less miles on the clock as the head gasket went on mine and it was too expensive to repair.

Faults:

Well, after 2 weeks of having the car the head gasket blew at 118,000 miles.

The rear arches are starting to rust.

General Comments:

This is a very fast sports car and it handles like a F1 car, the car is also very small in the back but very comfortable.
