- Subject to plenty of mechanical work
- Original leather interior
- Same owner for the last 8 years
The Appeal
Designated internally as the A80, the 4th generation of the Toyota Supra was a step by the Japanese brand to make the Supra a more distinctive, performance-driven tourer in the growing 90s market. The European model was only available for three years, but it made a huge impact. Noted for its appearances in Gran Turismo, Fast & Furious, and the legendary Smokey Nagata’s ridiculous modifications, these cars are as big a head-turner as a Ferrari or Porsche.
This example, in European spec - with the rare manual transmission - is an exceptional example of what, in its heyday, was a sophisticated piece of machinery, that’s not lost a spot of its lustre.

The Interior
- Curvy, attractive LHD interior with original black leather upholstery
- All-original instruments still on display, wrapping around the driver like a cockpit
- Seats are largely in good order, with some scuffs and cracking to the bolsters
Stylish, and harkening back to a lot of distinctive European designs of the 70s and 80s, the Supra’s interior wraps around the driver in a nifty cockpit of controls, beautifully tactile and simplistic. Everything here looks to be in good order, too, with all of the instruments seemingly in good, clean, working order.
The dashboard is free of cracks or significant damage, and the original black leather upholstery is still in situ - though we do note some cracking and rubbing to the headrests and bolsters. However, we can’t spot any rips or tears. The carpets and headlining are in good order throughout, too.
The car has been treated with soundproofing and a new sound system. The vendor notes that the wipers don’t work at their highest speed, the aerial is broken and the front spoiler button has been removed - though the relay for the aerial and the front spoiler control unit will be provided upon sale. The cabin features a new Kenwood radio head unit.
There are no leaks from the Targa top, and the boot is in good order, with a full tool kit and spare wheel tidily arranged inside. The Wicked CAS 2xJL Audio 6 Subwoofer enclosure is also kept here.
The Exterior
- Modified with the removal of the European active front spoiler
- Renaissance Red paintwork (3L2)
- Two sets of wheels included in the sale
With its sleek, modern shape, the Supra hit the 90s zeitgeist perfectly. The angular styling of the Mk3 was replaced with silky smooth bodywork throughout. This example has the front spoiler removed, but still carries all of that stylish, distinctive character.
Some bodywork has been carried out during 2022, ensuring the car’s panels are straight and nicely fit. The paintwork is beginning to show some signs of wear, having been refreshed nearly 10 years ago. We can spot the odd chip or bubble around the vehicle’s lower extremities, but it still presents well overall.
The car’s trims and glasswork all present well with no significant faults we can highlight, and the branding is complete, correct and nicely kept. The Targa top appears to have a good, solid fit with no water ingress, though the rubber seals could do with a clean.
This Supra is sitting on a full set of Volk Racing CE28N wheels, which really match up amiably with the rest of the car, and are shod in Michelin Pilot Sports tyres, which look to have plenty of tread. The vendor reports that the car will also be supplied with a full set of OEM alloys.
Underneath, there is some light surface corrosion, but nothing of significant concern. The vendor does note a slight gearbox leak on the output shaft.

With all of the work above, it should be clear that this car has been highly cherished, and beautifully kept. It reportedly starts on the button with zero issues, with the sequential turbos kicking into life perfectly. For its time, the Supra was seen as a big beast of a car - while that may not be true of modern standards, there’s certainly a little more heft than its contemporaries.
The result is a very characterful, attractive drive that defies its ‘boy-racer’ persona, perfectly capable of ambling around town comfortably, as much as it is howling in the countryside.
There’s no doubt, the Supra is an absolute legend - one that defies its own story as much as it defines it.
Summary
With an impressive level of care undertaken to bring it back towards period spec, this is an utterly fine example of a Supra that’ll charm any interested party - be it a collector, a JDM enthusiast or just somebody who fancies themself as a bit of a Brian O’Conner.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da 0 € a 9.999 € | 100,00 € |
| Da 10.000 € a 49.999 € | 250,00 € |
| Da 50.000 € a 99.999 € | 500,00 € |
| 100.000 € + | 1.000,00 € |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
