As automotive icons go, there’s an elite group of cars that have reached unimaginable levels of fame and stardom. From racing legends to Hollywood celebrities, these cars are at the top of every enthusiast's wish list, with many dreaming of the opportunity to own such an iconic vehicle.
There is one car in that group that could be considered the most recognised and sought-after vehicle, particularly in the last 30 years, that's as much a superstar in the automotive world as it is to the general public thanks to its time on the big screen as well as the race track. That car is none-other than the Toyota Supra MK4.
Introduced in 1993 the Mark 4 Supra was unlike anything Toyota had produced before, speed was at the forefront of Isao Tsuzuki's design and everything from aerodynamics to the use of special lightweight components such as hollow carpet fibres and a gas-filled rear spoiler was used to attain it.
From road to race track, Le Mans to Los Angeles, the Supra has established itself as a notorious racer with multiple podiums and championships but its success in the retail world never seemed to flourish. Sales never seemed to take off, largely down to the expensive price tag and difficult economy. Fortunately however a feature in a certain Hollywood street racing film and its increased admiration in the tuning car scene reignited its notoriety and a new fan base was born.
Registered in 1993, this beautiful example started life in Japan before being imported to the UK by a Toyota Main dealer RRG Bolton where it was then purchased by its second owner, who kept it for 19 years. Sold by his daughter after his passing to the current owner in 2017, the vehicle has covered a mere 33948 miles from new and is presented in truly wonderful form.
Extensively cared for mechanically and aesthetically enhanced and protected, this Supra boasts original charm with the addition of 17’’ alloys and an HKS Dragon exhaust. The result is an exceptional car, that would make an incredible collector's piece, or indeed that unique opportunity for enthusiasts to own one of the most desired cars of the last thirty years.

Iconic and adored design

The stunning design of the Supra is not just for seductive charm, the sleek missile-like shape was designed for speed and performance. Aerodynamics and weight play a huge part in the Supra's impressive capabilities, with Aluminium used for several components and inventive solutions like a gas-filled rear spoiler and dished-out head bolts were all used to make the car as lightweight as possible.
The result is a mesmerising sports car that drops jaws and raises eyebrows whether it's standing still or flying down a race track. The condition of the car is stunning which is no surprise taking into consideration the measures taken to protect it from the elements such as a 5-year ceramic coating to the paint, an underside clean and seal as well as kept stored inside.
