Found in my neighbourhood this week...

According to its owner, a 1992 Toyota Supra 2.5 Turbo Diesel Automatic (mk3)

I have had the pleasure of sitting in it, its red with full black leather interior, t-top and more toys than you can shake a tree at.

Looking at the reg doc, it was imported into this country in 1997.

Absolutely amazing car, causes double takes everywhere it goes.

Surely quite a rare one?

erm......NO!

The Mk3 was released in 4 versions AFAIK

1)3 litre non-turbo
2)3 litre single turbo
3)2.5 litre twin turbo
4)2.0 litre twin turbo

ALL PETROL VERSIONS

There are NO turbo diesel Supras! The description of that car is wrong. There are also no 2.0 twin-turbo Supras either (Toyota has never made a 2.0 twin-turbo engine in production form).
The car u're looking at is a JZA70 Supra, with a 1JZ-GTE 2.5 twin-turbo petrol (same engine as used in the Soarer, Mark2, Chaser, & Cresta). Max power is again 280ps.

After a quick google search there's loads of diesel supra's available on this site.

Lots of imaginary cars for sale out there then aren`t there?

Go & check them out urself.
If they're really fitted with turbo diesel engines, then all those cars are suspect.
Toyota never built diesel Supras (or even Celicas). If u don't believe me, ask over in those Toyota forums.

looked on the link that was given
...

http://www.carsource.co.uk/Toyota/Supra/used-hampshire.htm

and the first "supra" has a free colour coded bull bar... errmmmmmm bull bar on a supra me thinks not, there is no such thing as a diesel supra, maybe the name was given to another model in japan ie a 4x4 as the third add says on the fore mentioned sit "Nice example of late model Surf, Enormous pulling power, the ultimate towing vehicle"

Case closed!!!!

Case was never opened in the 1st place.
A Supra is still called a Supra in Japan, there were no 4x4 Supras.
Turbo diesels?? Maybe those engines are too high for the bonnet line anyway.

clarence

Hohoho, one of those 'turbo diesel' Supras even have a rear ladder. LOL.

LOL must be fore midgets to get to the boot
