We regularly see a mint low mile Supra TT that is totally original. A rare beast as many Supras have been butchered like the one in the OP. There are very few left like this.

There is only one thing wrong with it...its automatic. IMO it totally kills it to drive; slushing it way through the gears.

They were made at the time when the Japs (Aisin Warner) were a bit behind the likes of ZF with their autoboxes, as such its just a 4speeder: 3 main gears + overdrive 4th, so 3rd gear is 1:1. You get an idea of how wide the gear ratio spacing is by the top speed in the gears; it'll do 80mph+ in 2nd gear and 130mph+ in 3rd. So thats how leggy it is. The manual is pretty close ratio so the engine can always be kept buzzing.
