I like everything about this.

[bangerhoarder]

Dad had one once (late nineties I think?), bought for buttons from local auction. Great car - gearbox was smooth and nice to use, everything worked, and it wasn't rotten.

Great to see a survivor!

[WTDMM]

Lovely! Will follow with interest

[Trevor555]

Love it...

Please keep the thread updated with lots of pics...

[v8notbrave]

Wonderful, what's it like underneath????

[t.boydy]

Thanks for the replies so far, I will do a more detailed post soon.

Had it on the road less than a week and to be fair, it’s awesome!!

Lived all its life in Cornwall so has suffered with the old sea air but apart from the rear inner sills it’s ‘ok’….. that was sorted pre mot.

Happy to keep progress posts and pics going, didn’t think anyone would really be interested 😊

Yes please.

Just before I started learning to drive I went with my Dad to Hallens Toyota in Peterborough to get his Corolla AE86 serviced.

We knew the sales guy well, as we also had a new Liteace van, and a used Cressida estate from them.

He said, "come with me" We've a new car in the showroom that's going to be released tomorrow.

He took the cover off the new Supra (non turbo at the time)

It looked massive, and so, so cool, bright red one.

A moment in my life I'll never forget.

Not got many pics… busy enjoying it at moment…

Oh dear,that's expensive talk.

I had the earlier model, the Supra 2.8i, 1984 on a B reg. Really nice car, and miles ahead of the Capri 2.8i which sold in far greater numbers.

[Mr Tidy]

That looks great!

Probably what I should have bought to replace my 2.8i Capri - but I wouldn't have wanted an Auto.

[Stick Legs]

Very cool, Japanese XJ-S.

[biggbn]

Brilliant, love these. Enjoy.

[Jazoli]

I had a dog dick red Turbo back in the late nineties.

[Kwackersaki]

My mate had a white Turbo back in the nineties.

One time he managed to lock himself out with the engine running and it took him over an hour to get inside again using the wire coat hanger method.

[James_0541]

Very nice, enjoy it to the max.

[BrettMRC]

Fantastic, and the non-turbo is the safer choice of the 3.0L as the chocolate head gasket is less of an issue!

The MkIII is a brilliant car

[Hippea]

That's fantastic!
