Description
I offer for sale my 1989 Toyota Supra Turbo which is a rare Manual with low mileage at 59600 miles. I have owned this car since 2010 when I purchase this off of the original owner who loved and cherished this car. I have decided to sell as I am finding I don't have the time to enjoy it as much as it deserves.
I bought the car from the original owner, the log book shows as having 3 previous owners and this is technically correct. The gent i bought the car from first had this as a Company Car in 1989, when he moved employers in 1992 the car was transferred between employers. Then he purchased the car from the second employer in 1994. I have both invoices to verify this. The previous owner always kept it garaged, as I did until 2019 when I moved to a property without a garage.
The majority of the History is Toyota, being serviced by them from New up to 53k in 2007. Following my purchase I have completed oil changes and any other repairs have been completed by a trusted local mechanic specialising in Japanese cars or a Toyota Specialist.
The MOT is valid until 28th July 2025 and the oil and filter was last replaced in June 2023. Other points to note:
- New Turbo Actuator - Sep 23
- New Clutch Master Cylinder - Aug 23
- New Rocker Cover Gasket - Aug 23
- New Front Brake Discs & Pads - Jun 23
- New Genuine Toyota Cambelt Kit - Sep 20 (58401)
- New Genuine Toyota Clutch - Sep 15 (57449)
The car comes with a Brand New Turbo as the a whole unit was purchase to fix the actuator but the Turbo was not required. gIf you are looking at this you will probably be aware of its rarity being a Manual Turbo on this sort of mileage and in the best colour combination of Black Mica with Grey Leather. To make it even rarer is the cars level of originality, this car still has the factory stereo and the warning label for warming and cooling the turbo. There have never been any modifications, machine polishing or welding done to this. It receives compliments anywhere it goes with anyone that hears or rides in it astonished by how it performs.
The engine is very smooth, providing a lovely liner delivery of power and very quiet. It never fails to impress me how exceptional this car performs for its age. The gearbox is tight and almost feels too new to be nearly 35 years old. The bodywork is original and has a patina that you won't get from a restored example. There are a couple of imperfections on the body work but nothing that ever bothered me enough to have it detailed or painted. There is a small dent on the nearside front wing which by all accounts was done when it was nearly new. Slight scuff over the nearside rear arch which is only noticeable up close. There is also a small bit of bubbling on the the offside rear arch. I have had this inspected and confirmed the arch is solid, I felt it more appropriate to allow the new owner to make a decision on whether they have these corrected. Therefore I have taken this into account with my pricing.
The interior is also in fantastic condition for its age with the only rear signs of wear being evident on the drivers seat bolster. There are no burns in the seats or cracks in the plastics/ dash. No stains in the carpet and I don't even think the cigarette lighter has ever been used.
The wheels are also in fantastic original condition, never refurbished or painted which you can tell from looking at them. No kerbing or oxidation.
I have the two original Keys supplied by Toyota in 1989 along with the dealer key rings.
I can supply more pictures or videos upon request, and more than happy to answer questions or have a sensible discussion around offers.
