Introduction
Dom Ginn
Released in 1986, the A70 generation Toyota Supra was launched when RWD layouts were being replaced by FWD hot hatches.
Toyota harnessed and improved the appeal of what was considered an outdated trend. However, this was no dinosaur. The high-efficiency multivalve engine, anti-lock braking, computer-aided geometry on the suspension layout and electronic damper control shifted the Supra upmarket and became a showcase for Toyota's technology. Powered by a 3.0-litre ~200BHP straight-six fuel-injected engine mounted under an expanse of a bonnet, the Supra proved to fulfil its role as the brand's flagship sporting model. For those looking for refinement, performance and comfort in a stylish and fully equipped package, buyers were also reassured by the traditional virtues of a Toyota. Offering plenty of practicality, ease of driving, reasonable running costs and, of course, a legendary reputation for reliability, there was no sacrifice in core values.
This time-warp example has been with the owner for the almost 30 and a half years, and in that time, the car has only covered a remarkably low ~62,485 miles. Certainly one for the enthusiasts – as you probably know, finding a nice Supra is becoming increasingly difficult. It comes with a current MOT valid until 21.10.2025.
This listing was written from information supplied by Dom after meeting Geoff the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.
