A nice example of the perennially popular 3.0L Supra A70 in manual guise
A highly original car with plenty of key maintenance tasks undertaken
Boasting an impressively clean and “very ‘90’s” velour interior
The Appeal
The Toyota Supra first appeared in 1978 as a sports coupe based entirely on the Celica. It immediately proved popular for its combination of bullet-proof Celica underpinnings and more overtly sporting character. The MIII, or A70, version seen here was launched in 1986 and marked the complete separation of Celica and Supra models. Whilst the Celica became a front wheel drive model, the Supra retained its front engine, rear wheel drive layout.
This example comes to market in an honest and highly original condition. It offers its new owner the exciting prospect of being able to further improve the car whilst continuing to use and enjoy it. It is the more popular 5 speed manual version and serves up an authentic flavour of 1990’s Japanese sports coupe ownership and enjoyment.
Japanese sports cars of the 1980’s and 1990’s are proving very popular at the moment with decent, original examples become increasingly scarce. There is a propensity for modification and after-market tinkering with Japanese cars of this era so it is refreshing to find one in such apparently original order. Of the MKIII Supras, the manual version is generally preferred, too, making this car somewhat of a sweet-spot for those in the know.
Our example presents very well overall. Yes, there are some areas ripe for further improvement, but that prospect will appeal to many prospective owners. The fundamentals are all here. Great originality, a very tidy interior and a solid record of maintenance and upkeep. Supras of this ilk will only continue to become rarer as time passes so this is your opportunity to own a 3.0L, straight six, rear wheel drive Japanese sports car with bags of personality, charm and originality.

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.

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.
