Big thanks to Kai for bringing it down. Check out his Instagram account if you want to see more of the Supra and Porsche 944 and give him a follow: @attcars

I had 205,000 very pleasant miles in my '84 Supra. Replacing the shocks/struts with Bilsteins improved the handling without destroying the ride comfort. Repairs were minimal: an alternator, fuel pump and wiper motor. Even at the end, I would happily set out on a 300 mile trip without a second thought. I replaced it with an E36 M3 which certainly had better handling and was quicker, but by the time it got to 50,000, I couldn't trust it on a long trip.

In the United States, these were very popular when new and are still popular to this day. They usually sell for impressive prices.

I absolutely love these cars. I lusted after them as a child, and part of me still does.

Loved this model. A rich neighbour got a black one for him and his wife had a red one they looked like space ships compared to what everyone else down the street was driving.

I bought one in 1991 that had 160K miles on it. Still drove like brand new. Everything worked, just needed a clutch. Best $4,000 I ever spent.

As a man now in his late 50's, with my formative car years being the '80's, this is still a dream car...best looking coupe of it's time IMHO, and with a those signature, '80's cool, digital dash and pop-up headlights sealing the deal. Definitely a GT car though. Cheers!

Owned an '82 and '84. Super reliable, great heater, seats, quiet, looked good. Put a bazillion miles on them. Good memories. It was really a GT car.

I've got a 1983 Supra that's been in the family from new. It still has the supplying dealer window stickers from Crosby Park Garage in Liverpool. Here's a little factoid - it has a non-interference engine. If the timing belt snaps you fit a new one without the need to rebuild the engine. Rust was the big killer. The survivors were rustproofed from new - the Toyota dealer in Liverpool offered Tectyl rustproofing as an option. It's the reason mine is still going. And this year it's tax-free.

Personal favorite: this car just looks like the coolest one of the entire 1980s with its straight lines, fastback, spoilers and widened wheel arches. When it was new I think it was compared more with the Datsun 280 ZX (obviously), the Ford capri 2.8 injection, the Alfa Romeo GTV6 and the Mitsubishi starion (anyone remembers that one?). Since it's more a GT-like car, I think that comparison does the car more justice.

Supra Mk II handling was easily improved with stiffer gas shocks, P/U bushings, +2 wheels. For it's day it was quite a solid GT offering and while it was less sorted than early Z car with fewer aftermarket parts, there was a lot that could be done to them. These were factory raced IIRC? Remember, too, that here in the US, the competition was as much with GM and Ford, Camaros and Thunderbirds. Toyotas were a huge step up in mechanical reliability (especially beyond 75K miles, holding used value better). Great ergonomics and a non-strident ride slotted it in the comfy GT segment. While you could cruise all day in luxury at 85mph, the speed limit was 55mph nationally. 170 HP was a lot in the early 80's, the recent gas crisis not yet that far behind in the rear-view mirror

I had one in college, good memories. It's more of a GT then a sports car like the RX7 or Z at the time. It was a very popular car during the period in US, I still love the look of it.

An uncle here in Australia had one of these... A red one he ordered new, was a cool car even in the 90s. He gave it to his daughter when she graduated high school, it got stolen from her uni car park and sadly disappeared. He had a bunch of Japanese collector cars, including an early NSX that he bought new and still has. It was his daily until he became too old to use it. Man loves his Japanese rides.

I was in college when this came out here in the US and had a good friend with one, and drove it often. You are absolutely right--priorities in the US for driving are different. After all, Texas where I live is roughly the size of France! I've done countless 1000-mile days driving for pleasure. I always want a car that sacrifices the 10th degree of absolute handling and performance for one that's great for the other 98%, and this car fits that. It was a great one to do those thousand-mile days, particularly in the American West with the air conditioning pumping out cold air in the heat and rock music on cassettes! Always fun to see the Euro perspective, anyway.

I'm surprised you didn't know that Lotus did the handling tuning on the Mk2 Supra GTS. I had a 1983 in Canada and loved it. Many of the Supra GTS parts made it into the Lotus Excel. Toyota was part owner or majority owner of Lotus at that time. The Excel had the wheels, brakes, diff, and transmission from the Supra GTS and climate control from another Toyota.

When I was a kid in the late 1980`s in Johannesburg a new girl arrived at school in a car nobody had ever seen before, her dad, a plant manager brought over from Sheffield to work for an SA steel company had brought it over from the UK with him, that was a MKII Supra, everyone at the school lusted after that car...the daughter was pretty cute too...(my first crush...)

I forwarded this video to my beloved aunt. She bought a new one in late ‘82. My uncle ended up buying her a new car in 1991, yes, a Lexus 400, and he drove that Celica Supra, for work until 2003 when the frame rust was beyond repair. Engine and gearbox and most of the rest of the car were still functioning. Including the AC. Very important in Miami! 😂

I have 2 MK2 Celica Supras 82 and 83. I’ve owned and driven many cars over the years and must say the 83 is one of my favorite cars to drive. Granted I put headers and stainless steel exhaust on it and it sounds brilliant. Will never sell! The 82 is next to be restored. These cars are so underrated!

Just love the idea of a power curve rev counter. Never seen that before. Ace car.

Owned several MK3s and other sports cars over the years. But my MK2 is by far my favorite car I've ever owned. It just had an undeniable balance and character that other vehicles lacked.

I can't overstate how significant this car was when it was introduced (in the US, anyway). I was obsessed.

I bought a 1983 Celica Supra new. Test drove it, the 944 and the 280ZX. Porsche: $18,900 plus $5000 NON refundable NON applicable deposit and a 6 month wait. Datsun: A Boulevard Cruiser then. Toyota: $13,500, buttery inline 6, in the showroom to drive away. Until my Elise in 2018 my best/favorite car.

This the MK 2 was and still is a great looking car. I do think we still 'had a thing' about Japanese cars in the UK but perhaps some of their early cars were a bit off-putting to some in terms of design. I personally loved the Celica Mk1 shape and those chrome bumpers! One thing Toyota did well up to the 80's was those velour interiors, so comfortable. This is an excellent example and a credit to Kai the owner and If this were my car I would hang on to it as long as was possible, great colour too. Thanks Jack for another great review. 👍👍

I loved the Supra when it was first released and I still love the shape now. I LOVE the styling of the seats.

Competing against the Capri 2.8injection, Nissan Silvia turbo, 924s, RX7 and Alfa GTV6 were probably the main ones back then. They were very cool. An era before the hot hatches took over. Most people who could afford them had children getting bigger and these cars were just not practical.

Honestly? I think it is one of the best exterior designs of the 80's of any automaker. Very masculine while a little discrete, not a lot of flair needed.

My absolute favorite generation of the Celica and the Supra. The big wheel flares were just so cool. The whole thing was cool! This example just needs the rear sunshade/spoiler to make it complete.

Hi Jack, I have owned a Porsche 944 and a 944S and loved them both for the handling. I have owned an '84 Supra, and a '85 Supra both with white body and Maroon interior. I loved them both also for the handling and comfort. Superb cars. If I found a pristine 1985 Supra I would buy it immediately. Then I would refresh everything and keep it forever this time! Thanks for the review and memories.

These were a brillant car in their time i drove many miles when they were new always great had a lovely spec sunroof and air had that ability to cover a journey of hundreds of miles comfortably. They also came in a maroon and looked stunning. Still look amazing now a real presence on the road.

I cannot believe how good that car looks. It's got, like, a crack on the stereo. And that's it.

Thank you for dusting off almost lost memories. My girlfriend at the time, a pretty and lively Italian, had such a Toyota Supra in 1990. The contrast to me could hardly have been greater. As a stoically calm North German, I naturally had a W123 200D ;-) It was a stormy wonderful year, but unsurprisingly we each found the luck that suited us better elsewhere. Nevertheless, I will never forget the pretty girl and her great car

Early Japanese market Celica XX advertising showed Colin Chapmans Lotus Approval for 1982. I believe Mike Kimberley from Lotus helped correct the semi trailing arm rear suspension and rack and pinion steering geometry. Lotus fixed the geometry, Toyota softened the suspension. Toyota also figured out how to avoid the Japanese over 1.7 Meter width taxation, by making the P an exported version.

Almost bought one of these, bought an Opel Monza GSE instead. Incredibly similar cars with the digital dash and cruise control and on a fairly equal performance footing. Miss that Monza, may it rust in peace.

I always thought of these as more of a poor-man's BMW 6-series than a pure sports car. As Jack says: more of a spirited GT. Which is why these were a success in North America. For a typical suburbian driving cycle, these were really well-suited. This, the MR2 and the subsequent Corolla GT-S and twin-cam Celica really helped attract enthusiasts in the 80s.

Best part: lumbar inflators

Nice video! Toyotas from the late 80’to the early 2000s are in that sweet spot of engineering. They were over engineered and everything worked well and fit and finish were spot on! They were designed to last a long time with normal use! The car magazines were very biased in the day. This was right before the internet and the height of magazine publication with a lot of publisher politicization going on!

I worked as a salesman for a Toyota dealership in the states when these cars were new. We didn’t get many of these because of the import allocation restrictions that were mandated at the time but I did lose a sale on one of these to a Porsche 924, which was about $1,000 more money. The failure? It didn’t have a Porsche badge on it, otherwise a superior car in every way.

I watch these clips to chill.

Thank you Jack for this video. The Supra 2.8i is a beautiful Gran Tourismo and I remember driving a white Supra in the mid 80s quite well. Greetings from Germany.

When i was young..i fell in love with this Supra..till this day this is my favorite supra because it was my fiest memory of a Supra..the body kit was so new at the time

I had one, and it was absolutely faultless. Once had a memorable, highly spirited run with a 911, and the Supra stayed firmly attached to it's tail. Could not pass, however. Traded it, along with an RX7 GTU for a Nissan 300ZX.

Saw one of these in the Boston area as a kid (summer 85) that I still recall today. Black with those wheels, rear spoiler, numberplate MADMAX.

I had one of these as a teen in the 80's and believe me when I tell you I was the coolest kid on the block! It was a super hit in the USA and as you can see, still very valuable in the current market.

I always used to see these things (Supra- Celica’s) in U.K scrap yards in the early/ mid ninety’s with rust issues if I remember correctly but I always wanted one real bad. Just a memory I thought I’d add ❤

One of my favorite 80s cars. Thanks for the memories

Honda Prelude and this car are my favourite cars of that era

More Japanese reviews please! Tbh a lot of the euro stuff is played out already with a plethora of reviews available, but it's not often you get these deeper dives in Japanese classics. I'd love to see a review of a Mitsubishi Lancer EX 2000 GSR.... rare, but with a global cult following.

Such an icon. Brings back memories!! Cheers. Greetings from the Netherlands

My father had one of these, back in about 1984. It was metallic blue. He loved it and it got dealership serviced every year. It went on to 185k miles before it needed a head re-build. He then sold it on for a sporty hatch Corolla .. great video, thanks

Perfect car... love the shape of it... never looks too outdated.... the wheels put it over the top... the wheels are sort of like the iroc z which made the iroc look absolutely amazing

I remember these from back in the day, and I think you nailed it. Sharp looking car. Reliable. Sporty? maybe. Secretary car? absolutely. Sports car? Not at all. But there's nothing wrong with that. Just don't expect the performance to match the appearance. Comparatively, keep in mind that the first 944s weren't exactly barn burners either. A 2nd gen Golf GTI would out accelerate them. But the handling and brakes surpassed what the Supra offered.

I've had 3 of these, one in 1989 on a A plate, one in 1999 on a B plate.....and one 1982 model in Canada in 2019. They are a terrific car......iirc the Auto box version was the first auto ever that was more economical than the manual......

One of my all time favorite cars. There's one sitting on an empty lot near me but that's been off the road for a very long time and the cost to repair it may be prohibitive or it may be too far gone. I agree with some of the comments that the real rivals for this would have been the 280ZX, RX-7, Starion and in Europe the Capri and Manta. The Mark 4 Supra did beat a Porsche 968 in a Car and Driver comparison test in 1993 and that was when the Supra became legendary. But my heart still yearns for a well kept A60, possibly resto modded with a turbo engine from a JDM variant or a newer model.

Celica was a brilliant automobile. It's only downfall was it's rust issues. The smiles per mile were excellent, and it didn't cost a ton to insure

I've owned my '86 for 11 years and I'm still waiting for the novelty of the digidash to wear off ;) I find it so much easier to glance at the digital speedo than read an analogue dial. And I love how the tach LEDs follow the torque curve. Only issue I have with mine is the pessimistic fuel gauge! I don't know if it's common to these cars, but mine gives a delicious little snarl when the engine comes under load from about 1,500RPM, it sounds aggressive and brings the car to life. Single best thing you can do with these cars is accelerate! I think you're right in that the MKII is more of a GT than a pure sports car - it'll cruise 500 miles on a tank of fuel quite happily at motorway speeds. And yes, availability of tyres is stopping me driving mine hard! But during summer, I use it as my daily and I love it. Seats are so comfortable and the driving position is superb, and with the amount of boot space, it's really practical. Always enjoy seeing them get recognition!

The German competitor of this Toyota is the Opel Monza 3.0 E, try to find a good example for the test, the car was then in the range of the BMW 6 series.

I had one of these in the early 90's and it's the one car I still regret selling after covering many thousands of miles. By the way, the engine was derived from the one in the 2000GT, and the suspension was sorted by Lotus when they part-owned Toyota (Toyota in turn sorted out the Eclat, when it was briefly named the Eclat Excel and later just Excel). A great car, I remember 'racing' (at legal speeds officer) Ford Capri 2.8's and sporty Mercedes and nearly always won. I later also owned a bog-standard Corolla 1.3 which was not as economical to drive! I also found that if I was driving down a dual carriageway at 70mph nobody would overtake me. Driving down the same road at the same speed in the Corolla, almost everyone was overtaking me. I guess they didn't want to try it against the Supra 🤣 If I could, I would have another one of these in a flash. Thank you Jack for bringing back some very happy memories.

I owned a 1983 Toyota Celica GTS coupe with the fender flares, larger tires and the same interior as the car in this video. My 1983 Celica was a great little car. I have also owned two Porsche 944s. My 1984 Porsche 944 handled better than the Celica. I felt I could push the 944 harder into turns - likely the better weight balance in the Porsche with the transaxle over the rear wheels. The Celica had crazy tall gears in the manual transmission. The Porsche was geared better for speed (in my opinion). I currently own a Supercharged 2006 Mini Cooper S which I have made some simple modifications to Best handling car I have ever owned.

There were several cars of this type coming out of Japan in the 1980s. My father bought himself a Nissan Silvia ZX Turbo when he retired and it certainly kept him on his toes when driving it quickly on wet roads!

Man this brings back memories. My second car, a 1982 blue Supra. Loved that car and I miss it dearly. It had a valve lifter issue which caused a weird knock and I was just out of high school and didn't have the $$ to fix it. Still, a great car. The interior was also great. One thing I hated about that car was that they were notorious for the front to raise up during acceleration. It looked horrible lol.

This was my second car. It was kind of practical, went 200 km/h but not more than that. Performance was nothing to write home about. The handling does get significantly better with better tires.

Great review Jack, but i should point out you didn’t mention the Lotus connection. Toyota engaged Lotus to do engineering work on the Supra and became a major shareholder in Lotus around this time. Lotus in turn used various Toyota components in their cars but especially the Excel. You say that there is no real comparison between this Supra and European sports cars, yet in terms of size, layout etc (even if you squint there’s a similar silhouette) then there may be a good comparison to be had between this Supra and the contemporary Excel.

Famous (and rather tidy 😍) KZfaqr 'Sarah-N-Tuned' recently did a resto-mod of one of these, bought, FULL valet, suspension, worst and more, and gave it away to one of her subbers. I love these 80's classics! She's currently resto-mod ding a 70's Celica with a Toyota VVTi V8... GO check it (and her/her skills) out! She has a penchant for even the smallest details! 👍😏 😎🇬🇧

I loved this Supra from the day it was released in Australia. Like the idea of Japanese reliability, not too stressed and half decent shape. Great review mate.

“Everything still works” of course it does it’s a Toyota !

I remember have a test drive in one of these when they were brand new.

Brilliant cars - more like a really good 2.8i Capri, an Alfa GTV6 that worked or a 944 with character. Very well made, superbly reliable and great looking.

A car after my own heart,....again!!! Jack, this was a beautiful example of the Mk2 Supra, and you are correct in that these are NOT sports cars, but rather "sporty" GT cars. Toyota debuted their sports car a year or so after this design came out with the Mk1 Toyota MR2 (AW10 1.5L/ AW11 1.6L) and then did a proper upgrade of it in 1987 when they slapped a supercharger on the eager little 1.6L. As for GT cars though I always thought the Mk3 Supra was the stunner of the lot. The Mk3 was a completely new design, a car designed around a new 6cyl engine 7M-GE that stock kicked out 200hp (the turbo variants had a bigger wallop but weren't as smooth as the non turbo lump). It was a big comfortable and quick car that at least here in Canada was a lovely place to be driving from Edmonton or Calgary to Vancouver. My Celica/Supra was a 1982 and had analog gauges and a 5 speed transmission. I suspect it could do a 0-60mph run in around 10-11 seconds and my car topped out at somewhere close to 130mph and as your friend who owns this lovely example has noted, it is Terrifying at that speed, it lifts and wanders and can leave stains on seat cushions that even "Shout" would have troubles getting out. My car was happiest at about 60-80mph and could do 80mph all day without a hiccup. Oddly, later in life I bought a 1983 Toyota Cressida that had the same 2.8L engine as the Celica/Supra but attached to an automatic. The Cressida that I bought for my Wife to use, I ended up driving 90% of the time as it contained so much of the fun that my Supra had. Anyway, thanks the walk back down memory lane. I have been looking at Supras here in Alberta and when they do come up a regular driver grade car goes for $5-7K Canadian, really really nice ones hit $20K. Maybe I should export a few your way if they are fetching $30K+ Pounds!!! LOL Have a wonderful day, Jack see you for the next car!!

Early 80's these cars were quite popular with professional footballers because they were more affordable compared to Porsches and Ferraris. I used to collect the old Sun soccer annuals and it was quite common in those little interview sections with people like Bryan Robson or Ray Wilkins etc for them to list their car as a Celica. Footballers wages were good back then but nothing like what they are today. I watched an interview with the Liverpool 1984 European cup winning team and Souness was the top earner apparently on £100k a YEAR. Jordan Henderson was earing $750k A WEEK in Saudi. No Celica for him....

You didn't mentioned any repairs done on this 42 year old Toyota Supra but it is a typical Toyota most things work and that is of course to Toyota's superior build quality

At 6th form college in the Northern late 80's. The lurking at break time Asian guys had these and were pulling the birds big time. 😅

I had a 1983 supra. Edit painted, burgundy red and black. It was beautiful one of the most beautiful looking cars. I think of the eighties

Early UK cars lacked the wide arches - they came in with the 1983/84 facelift, along with Lotus fettled suspension.

i remember as late as 1990 i was in italy where most of the cars there were all European (still). When asked what makes we had in australia and i said "lots of toyota, honda, mitsubishi etc", they turned their noses up a bit. I replied, "they are actually pretty good"

I would absolutely love one. They're receptive to tuning and are wonderful to look at. Here in the U.S. tuner boiz have largely ignored it so they're still inexpensive. Highly recommended.

Anorak time, in the UK the body kit was an update, early cars had the smaller wheel arches and narrower alloys, I think it was 1985 B reg onwards that had the wider arches and wheels shared with the lotus eclat excel. I believe suspension was "tuned" by lotus as Toyota had a tie in with lotus at the time. My pal had one back in the day, I had the mitsubishi starion, similar power and price but I always felt the starion was more sporty while the supra was more of a cruiser as you said. I love watching these kind of cars reviewed as it's been about 35 years since I drove one and nearly as long since I saw one.

Stunning vehicles. I remember when they came out. Everyone loved them

The Mk2 Supra was related to the first generation JDM only Soarer. They had the same suspension but with a 3" longer wheelbase. For the next generation Supra and Soarer, Toyota went with a double wishbone suspension to address it's stability complaints of the Mk2. But that increased the weight by 200kg.

My first car was its little brother, a 1986 Celica GT-S. I adored that car. One of the goodies that came with the GT-S was the same seats that Jack has in this Supra. They had electrically adjustable side bolsters!

The suspension package was tuned by Lotus. I worked at Toyota at the time and had one as a demonstrator. The car was too heavy to handle exceptionally well, but by the standards of the day it was an easy match for the 2.8i Capri!

Absolutely brilliant video jack ❤👍it's absolutely lovely car love the way it's bolted together and love the interior as a classic it deserves to be enjoyed brilliant

Toyota CELICA Supra. I love them. Probably because I'm a fan of flared wheelarches, like those on most of the Group 4 rally cars back in the day.

Well done review. I sold several of these when they were first released in North America. Always the same response after a month of new ownership, "Dissapointed in the performance. I want my Corvette back!"

That is best looking supra ever built!...

These were very popular in Australia. The Japanese have built some of the best and most reliable cars for many years now.

I love the way he pronounces "Sell-ee-kah"! The body style has aged really well, IMHO.

Exterior and interior look so good!

I had one of these as my first proper car in the mid 2000s for almost 10 years and loved it. It was so comfortable, grippy and forgiving to drive but sadly someone crashed into it and I sold it unrepaired before they went up in price. Here in Australia however we only got the sohc 5me engine so while it sounded good this car was so slow! Many fond memories came back when seeing this video so thankyou for sharing!

I had a 1985 mk2, with the revised rear wing setup. Loved that car. Agree it was more of a GT vs a sports car. Dead reliable and probably scared the shit out Euro brands who didnt care about customer care. Thanks for this trip down memory lane Jack.

I love, love, love the looks of these. All of the lines just work for me. One of my all time favorites. Actually looks right with the RWL tires. Digital gauges…..the novelty wears off as soon as it stops working. I currently have no fuel and temp readout on my Mk.4 Prelude as the LCD? LED? display for these has packed up while that analog speedo and tach work just fine. Bother! I notice the UK spec car gets the same spring yield door mirrors as my sister’s old Tercel….even the manual adjustment! US cars had more Integrated non-breakaway design that were power operated. Totally different steering wheel. I think all US Toyotas of the period (‘84 and up) had a very similar 2 spoke wheel with the low spokes canted inward and a huge protruding horn pad

The Toyota supra has always been a favourite of mine, thanks for giving it some attention.

Those were nice . The NEXT series were a Proper GT car . 24 valve 3.0 litre Engine and some styling changes . Those were FAST .

Looks wise this is by far my preferred Supra, with the mk3 coming in second. I absolutely love the looks. When you bring the interior into the conversation, the mk3 catches up to more or less a tie. ..but my heart still beats for the mk2. I remember when they launched. A car magazine I subscribed to had it on the frontpage sliding, and in their review they underlined that it drove so well that they regularly hung the ass out at I think it was 160-170km/t. Different times I suppose. Great seeing one again. It's sadly been a while. Good work as always Jack 🙂

When I saw you pulling away, the stance and view on the rear end from a distance gave me some Lotus Esprit vibes. Also a bit of Scirocco and even perhaps a 308? A friend of mine has the next generation Supra 3.0 turbo 7M-GTE engine but it is pested by oil pressure problems. Nice video!

Love that! Cool reg too. Had a black Corgi model of one as a lad, can't remember ever seeing one but looks like I might fit! (6ft 8)

I was so close to buying one of these back when they first arrived in the UK, but having a you family I let my head rule my heart and bought a 4 door Vauxhall Carlton 2.2CDi.

I remember it coming out. I was a teenager way back when, and I just loved all these coupe's being brought out by more or less every brand. When you are 13, you care a little less about the badge, and more about what it looked like, what it's performance figures were etc etc. I would personally say that the Celica Supra was more of a halfway house between a full on sports coupe (Lotus, 944 etc) and the more mile muncher GT's of the era, such as the 928 and the Monza GSE (Which I have always loved - please review one). Certainly far better a coupe than the asthmatic 924, and I don't mean the Turbo or the S. But This is the Eighties and not only you had this, but the Starion, the Wonderful Prelude, the Audi coupe, and then later one, the Stunning Isuzu Piazza, Nissan 200SX. I could go on and one. Good times they were, the 80's for a wide variety of cars, and I am glad the Supra was part of it.

What a walk down memory lane. A work colleague had one. He didnsome contract work for toyota and rsther than pay him they gave him the Supra. I still recall the sense of awe as we sat in it. The dash, the seats the engine. At the time it was unbelievable. What I note is toyota are still using that velour and that switch gear in 2024 landcruisers 🤣

I remember when these Supras first came out; they were such an improvement over the Mk1 Supra and the styling was miles better! Such a nicely preserved example here...great color, no cracks in the dash and the upholstery looks very good. I think many of these examples have perished over time due to rust or ill-advised mods as the cars get ever-cheaper on the used car market. These deserve to go up in value and represent a milestone in Japanese cars finally getting the respect they needed at the time. Thanks!

Enjoyed the video Jack, brought back some great memories for me from the 80's. An ex girlfriend of mine bought a 'C' reg 85'/86' manual Supra in a lovely metallic blue over silver over blue with only 10k miles on it back in 87'. I was lucky enough over the 3 years she owned it to drive it the majority of the time as she preferred for some unknown reason to drive my Mk3 2 litre S Capri. What a cracking car it was, drove lovely, handled well, can't remember if Lotus had something to do with the suspension set up or not. Loved the look of it with it's flared arches, Lotus style wheels, the blue velour and cloth, electric everything etc etc. Looked impressive under the bonnet with its Straight Six Twin - Cam. Thinking back, not a sports car but a lovely GT cruiser of its time.
