The Appeal
The Toyota Celica Supra is one of the most compelling Japanese grand tourers of the 1980s. Its smooth 2,800cc inline-six, pop-up headlights and digital dashboard offered a level of sophistication that felt practically space-age when it hit the market, and has now comfortably settled into a much-loved piece of retro-futurism.
This car has had just two registered keepers from new, having been originally purchased from Car Distributors Ltd in Cardiff, a franchised Toyota dealership at the time. The first keeper owned the car from new, covering just 1,000–2,000 miles per year, and stamped the service book annually regardless of mileage. The current seller acquired the car in 2019 and has continued to use it sparingly for shows, family events and weddings.
The vendor describes the paintwork as "being like glass," noting it is all original except for the sunroof panel, which was repainted with a colour match. The interior is also in handsome order, with the rear seats and boot having seen very little use. image.png1.34 MB

✓ The seller is registered as a private seller which means consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not come into effect. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s own Terms and Conditions..

✓ VAT is included in the buyer's fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing.
✓ We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do and as such we run all UK-registered cars and motorbikes for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and have no finance owing, allowing you to bid with confidence.
