1991 Toyota Supra A70 3.0 24V Turbo
Highlights
- Factory standard car with low miles for year
- Recent £17,000 restoration
- Thick and very detailed history file
- Entertaining yet relaxing 234bhp 2+2 GT
- Long MOT to February 2025
- Well presented car in classic sports car red
The Appeal
With the third generation A70 Supra, Toyota set its tanks firmly on the competition’s lawns. Available as a distinct, separate model for the first time, the Supra had its sights set on the Corvette and 928 in its sights. Bold goals.
The arrival of a 234bhp turbo made this virtually a slam dunk. The Supra was well built, well priced and highly appointed. Plus, thanks to that forced induction 3litre engine, it went well too. A combination of qualities few rivals could match.
This very tidy Supra is a timely reminder of all that. Finished in classic red, it has recently been restored at a cost of £17,000, a process carefully recorded in an album of 30 photographs. The thick history file continues with a raft of invoices and paperwork, all indicating enthusiastic keepers.
Inside and out this great car presents very well. The Supra was always about effortless performance, making these cars perfect for road trips. This car leans into that idea with its smooth automatic gearbox.
With low mileage for the year and a long MOT to February 2025, this classic slice of 90s coupe style is ready to enjoy.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| £0 to £9,999 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £49,999 | £250.00 |
| £50,000 to £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
