1994 Toyota Supra Mk IV 2JZ-GTE

The Supra for sale here is a genuine right-hand drive car, one of only 200 imported into the UK. Our seller has known the car since it was brand new and has been able to fully document its gentle life for us.

The car’s first owner, a wealthy expat who spent limited time in the UK, was wandering around a Toyota showroom in 1994 and happened to come across the Supra in a corner of the showroom. Rather taken with the looks and the performance on offer, he purchased the car immediately. He paid a little over £42,000 for the car, a tidy sum back in the day.

Over the next thirteen years or so, he used the car for around one month per year when he was on UK soil. For the rest of the time, his good friend (our vendor), made sure the car was carefully stored and maintained. This accounts for the car’s exceptionally low mileage, all fully documented, which now stands at a little over 26,000.

Around fifteen years ago, our seller was offered the chance to buy the little used Supra and knowing its history and having in effect been its main custodian, he jumped at the chance. It joined his extensive collection of cars and motorbikes. It had only covered 6,000 miles at this time.

Leading a busy life, the car was used occasionally for high days and holidays before being put into storage in 2015. Residing under two car covers and in a dry unit, the Supra was nevertheless taken out on the owner’s private land at least once a month to ensure all moving parts were kept in good order.

With advancing years, our seller has decided to thin out his car collection and it is therefore with some reluctance that he has charged us with finding a new owner for this quite exceptional car.

He tells us that the car is supercar quick, but you knew that anyway. What you may not know is that it is also quiet and comfortable, so makes for a relaxed cruiser should you not be in a hurry.

The Supra has never had any paint, has been a paragon of reliability and has no known faults or issues whatsoever, so says our seller.

The silver paint adorning the Supra is in exceptional condition, aided no doubt by the modest miles covered and careful storage when not in use. In fact, our seller remarked that he buys Autoglym products in bulk!

We do note a small number of stone chips on the bonnet, but nothing else that is worthy of note.

The observant will note that the bumpers are a slightly different shade of silver. Supra cognoscenti will tell you that the paint adorning the bumpers is always a slightly different shade to the rest of the car, thanks to the composite material they are made of. If you do spot a Supra where the match is perfect, then they may have been painted!

The five-spoke alloy wheels are in very good order, and each is shod with a premium Michelin tyre, all with plenty of tread. Good matching tyres are usually a good indication of careful and considered classic car ownership.

There’s no doubt the Supra is one of the best-looking cars to emanate from Japan and they look at their best unadorned with the ridiculous body kits so beloved by aftermarket tuners and the Fast and Furious generation.

The Supra’s interior has stood the test of time extremely well. Toyota engineer their cars to last. Doors shut with a reassuring thunk and were there not a little creasing and wear to the driver’s seat, we would say the interior is as new.

There is seating for four, each pew covered in tan leather, but space in the back in modest to say the least.

The driving position is excellent, the seat comfortable and readily adjustable.

The dashboard is angled slightly towards the driver with lovely simple, clear gauges giving all the information necessary. The automatic gear selector falls easily to hand. Engage drive, release handbrake and gently squeeze the accelerator and prepare to be thrilled.

Should the sound of the twin turbocharged six-cylinder engine not be enough, there’s both a CD and cassette player for some stirring tunes. It should be noted that after a battery swap, during which the garage inputted the wrong security code, the unit needs to be reset at a Toyota dealer – a simple task.

On warmer days, the car’s standard fit air conditioning will ensure all on board remain cool, calm and collected.

Carpets are like new, headlining and door cards the same.

The boot houses a space-saver wheel which has never been used and the tool kit and jack have never been required either. There’s ample space for some luggage, with the back seats acting as an overspill area if required.

We always include plenty of photographs of a car’s undersides for your delectation and that is the case there. Pause a while and take it all in. Aside from a little road dirt, all we can see is the lightest of surface corrosion to some components, impressive for a car that is nearly 28 years old. This is a car that has been spared winter driving on salty roads and it shows.

Lift the bonnet and it is hard not to be impressed. That powerful 326bhp motor sits proud and it all looks to be in tip top condition.

The engine fires up easily and endows the Supra with scintillating performance that would embarrass even the latest generation of supercars. We gather the automatic gearbox is a smooth operator too.

Accompanying the car are a lovely collection of MoT certificates which help to corroborate the low mileage. A quick look at the DVLA’s online history confirms that the Supra has never had a single advisory.

As mentioned before, the car was not road registered for a number of years but was MoTed once again in January of this year.

The service book is present and correct and contains a few main dealer stamps. There are also some invoices from those early days too.

More recent work includes the fitment of a new Varta battery in 2020 and the tyres were all replaced not so long ago too.

In preparation for the car’s forthcoming sale, our seller had the car services last month. Oil and filter were changed, and new Tungsten tipped spark plugs were fitted. The garage also fitted a new alternator.

This sensational Supra has enchanted us here at The Market. Unmodified, original, low mileage, just as we like it!

This is a car that has effectively had one man taking care of it from day one and that shows.

It’s a fast car, easy to drive and in a world of increasingly bland SUVs, the looks are quite stunning.

Is this the lowest mileage Supra MK IV available in the UK today? We cannot be certain, but we challenge you to find a better example.

We know that this car will attract a huge amount of interest from the many enthusiasts around the world and we confidently predict it will sell for between £50,000 and £65,000.
