The Appeal
The fourth-generation Toyota Supra is one of the most celebrated Japanese sports cars ever produced. Built around the legendary 2JZ inline-six engine, it has earned a devoted following among enthusiasts worldwide, and clean examples on UK plates are increasingly sought after.
This 1996 example was imported from Japan and has been registered in the UK since August 2002, passing through just three former registered keepers before the current owner acquired it in early 2016. After daily use until 2018, the car was taken off the road and has since benefited from a thorough bodywork restoration carried out between November 2025 and February 2026.
The vendor describes it as a true joy to drive, with a strong engine and plenty of turbo and induction character. image.png1.52 MB
