Lovely to see a proper UK spec Supra in such a nice condition!!

I concur, it's a manual Twin Turbo with fairly low miles, too!

Regd May 96 -so one of the last

Saw a nice met grey one a few weeks ago.

I suspect that what you implied by "Technically interesting" is not what I inferred form "Technically interesting"

Anything with funky '80s electronic displays gets my because maintaining them involves sorcery.

Yes it does

I recall it as quite a punchy thing, esp the MG, good comfort and so on, BL trying to fight back against Ford and VW etc. Probably let down by shoddy build quality and not-great engineering or development. But I remember them quite fondly, certainly more of an "oh look! how cool" moment when I see one now, than a Gilbern.

I had an MG Maestro (efi) in 88 as well as an XR3i, XR2 and 205 cti. It was technically more advanced than any of the others, better equipped and trim, but much more an A road and M Way car than for B road fun. I had it for 2 years, took it from 6k to 50k with no problems, something I couldn't say of the others.

From memory, was it one of the first CAD produced cars?

thankfully Stevie Wonder only ever designed one car.

Always think they’re going backwards. Would make a stylish forward cab pick-up design if the front was the back.

It’s cool ‘cos it’s so ugly. The back is quite funky too

Looks relatively unmolested too.

Couple from Aldeburgh.

P1800. Lovely car, petite and well proportioned

Lovely

I still miss mine. My 1967 1800S was my daily driver in the mid-90s.

The Elan's beautiful, but I think I'd rather bring the Ace home.

That's the S2 Europa I went to look at when it was for sale at Sunngingdale Classics a few months ago, a loveley thing, I hope the new owner is enjoying it.

This was mine back in the '70's. I loved that car, I believe it was turned into a hovercraft. - Yes, you read that correctly.

I’m sure this car belongs to a guy in the Z club who used to own a lovely wine red 260 ... he’s not had it too long but loves it. Can’t see the plate to verify but there can’t be that many ‘68 P1800s in that colour and condition.

Even allowing for the very wet conditions, I can't see these two being the best tools for the job of getting up Shelsley Walsh in the fastest time!

(If it was covered in ice and snow - Now that might be a different matter! )

Is it a LR "thing" to padlock the bonnet ? I thought it was the whole vehicle that was attractive to ne'er-do-wells
