SUMMARY
One owner from new, just 4,328 miles and excitingly offered without Reserve.
DESCRIPTION
The third-generation Supra was introduced in February 1986 as a stand-alone model, officially being separate from the Celica. Whereas the Celica became a front-wheel drive sport coupé, the Supra retained its image as a rear-wheel drive sports/GT car. The new Supra would continue to move upscale and become a showcase for Toyota's technology initially powered by a 3-litre DOHC inline six-cylinder engine rated at 200bhp. Notable features included an electronically controlled independent suspension (Toyota Electronic Modulated Suspension – TEMS) and some came with a removable sport-roof panel (Targa top).
On offer here is a UK-supplied, right-hand drive Toyota Supra that was showing zero former keepers on the V5C and an odometer reading of just 4,328 at the time of cataloguing. Presenting as you would expect for such a time warp, low-mileage, original example, the car is fresh to market and excitingly offered without Reserve.
The accompanying original Bill of Sale shows that the first and only registered keeper ordered the car at a cost of over £21,000 at the time in August 1988 and it was registered on the 24th August of that year. It's accompanied by both the original and new style V5C, the aforementioned Bill of Sale, some older MOTs and invoices for routine maintenance.
Finished in factory Dark Grey Metallic (167) with a light grey leather interior, this automatic transmission example is a real find and we doubt there will be another one out there with this mileage and ownership. Combined with the fact that it's being offered without Reserve, this may well be an unrepeatable opportunity and well worth the trip to the NEC to see this very smart, third generation, naturally aspirated Supra in the metal.
NB; This vehicle will be issued with a fresh MOT prior to the sale.
