Toyota Supra 2.8i 2800 Auto

I really love this car,it's my favourite,she have everything;the most beautiful form,the best engine quality,the best seats,very good gears quality,four disc brakes,four independent suspensions,digital dash speed and a big boot(we were 3 person with a lcd 102 cm in the box!)in a sport car..incredible.If you compare this car with a Starion,300zx or silvia s12 and twin cam 16 GT corolla, The TOYOTA CELICA SUPRA 2.8I is the best for the equipment and comfort, look, and place.

The best car of this the 80' and forever for me!

The Toyota Supra will put a smile on your face before you even get in and start that big snarling straight six.

Looks: Apart from the lights at the back there is nothing on the road to match the menacing snarl of that front grill or the stealth fighter appearance of the body.

Reliability: It just goes and goes and goes the energizer bunny has got nothing on this car, it will absolutely never let you down. They have been known to go over 300,000 miles with minimal maintenance.

Comfort: An eight way adjustable drivers seat, cruise control as standard all round disc brakes great suspension, will cruise at 3000 RPM at 70mph all day Even all week without making you wish the trip would end (I know I've done it).

Exclusivity: This car is so rare spotting another one on the road is a once in a lifetime event.

One of the best gt s ever. Silky smooth six cylinder with a solid five speed transmission, the Toyota Celica Supra was commonly refered to as "the gentlemans car" superb!

The double page advertisement in a national daily paper showed the Toyota Supra from the front (with pop up lights retracted) and invited readers to guess if it was either a Ferrari, Lamborghini, or Maserati. I didn't know. Never before had I seen anything so magnificent! I had no money and I believe that the list price was over £11,000. but I simply had to have one. I was in love!

I sent a circular to over 180 Toyota dealers asking them for their very best price. The best deal was £10,000. but that dealer was 200 miles away. So, I took my best offer received to John Brundle Motors of King's Lynn (then my local dealer) and they reluctantly matched the price on condition that I kept the deal a secret! (John Brundle is Martin Brundle's father). I hope that he is still alive.

I scraped together a small deposit and borrowed the rest on h.p. The debt terrified me but a car worshipper at last had something worthy of being worshipped! When a man is in love then a man has to do what a man has to do.

The straight line six roared into life on turning the key and the driver's seat simply had adjustable everything from a pump up bladder behind the small of the back to adjusting arm huggers. It was the best driver's seat I had ever experienced and remains so to this day - over thirty cars later including a plethora of both supercars and executive vehicles.

The car was loaded with air conditioning, electric windows and sun roof, cruise control, tilt steering etc. etc. and simply flew! I had previously been impressed with the Ford Capri 2.8i but the Supra was off another planet and in another league.

I found the car faultless and replaced it a year later with another new Supra. After selling my second Supra I missed it so much that I purchased a low mileage second hand Supra - all automatics. All cars were faultless, as were other Toyotas purchased by me and my family including the fantastic Tercel 4WD.

Two years after the car was introduced into the U.K. prices went through the roof, and a little later the 3.0 Supra was introduced, and then came the ugly new model Supras which looked like Vauxhall Chevettes with tail fins! Yes, they were even faster in turbo form (both turbo and non-turbo models were available here) but beauty and grace had got totally lost in the process. Who cares about 200 mph except racing drivers, dangerous drivers, and show offs?

Although a low mileage early Supra with full service history recently appeared on eBay genuine models are now as rare as hens' teeth. They are complex cars and parts are not cheap and so provenance is essential as these once faultless cars are now up to 24 years old. Being cheap to acquire they attract 'boy racers' and are often abused. So, please be careful. Acquire a good one and you may never part with it!
