INTERIOR - Check all comfort features, including windows and air-con. Beware oversized aftermarket wheels, which stress wheel bearings and suspension. Post-1994 cars with uprated brake pistons eat pads and discs. Brake hard from 60mph checking for any instability and then, again, lightly, checking for worn discs. Beware aftermarket track-day dampers that tighten the handling but ruin the ride.

SUSPENSION AND BRAKES - Major components are tough but bushes and dampers wear out. The diff is strong but can clonk into first from reverse (not serious). On the four-speed auto, first to second will probably clonk. The five-speeder can suffer synchro wear. TRANSMISSION - The six-speed вЂ™box is toughest of all. It can fail, causing a severe judder and rattling as you let out the clutch and pull away. GEARBOX -В Check the clutch operation, and if it needs changing, have the flywheel done, too. Check for a timing belt change every 50k miles and oil changes every 6km miles. Boost should be smooth and turbos should whistle rather than whine. As for the turbos, listen for the second blower kicking in at around 4000rpm. Continuous smoking is likely to be failing piston rings. ItвЂ™s a tough вЂ™box, too.вЂќД®NGINE - Smoke on start-up and when blipping the throttle after idling is probably valve stem seals. ItвЂ™s underrated but I reckon the auto suits the Supra, which is more grand tourer than sports car. The turbo auto is roughly 30% cheaper than the manual.

The cheapest Supras are naturally aspirated autos but even their prices are rising. UK cars were rare to begin with and pricesfor the few that remain are strong. A good Supra feels like itвЂ™ll go on forever. ItвЂ™s a nostalgia thing and now theyвЂ™ve got the money, they want one. Buyers tend to be in their 40s - people for whom the Supra was a poster car.

In fact, all good turbo manuals are becoming seriously expensive, and thatвЂ™s before you consider spending a further ВЈ50,000 or so taking them to showroom condition and 1000bhp, as some enthusiasts are now doing courtesy of specialists such as SRD Tuning.ДЄs next yearвЂ™s new Supra hoves into view, now is the time to buy a Mk4 before prices vanish over the horizon.ДЄn expertвЂ™s view, Tristian Longden, Founder Torque GT -В вЂњDemand for the Supra Mk4 easily outstrips supply so prices are getting higher with each passing month. Most sought-after are rare UK turbo manuals. Today, the Supra Mk4, UK or JDM, appears to be in the cross hairs of every moneyed 40-year-old who ever lusted after one when it first came out. Saying that, so do most JDMs, although their traction control system isnвЂ™t quite so good. UK cars also have leather trim, traction control, power windows and anti-lock brakes. Incidentally, so you donвЂ™t confuse your genuine UK Supra from what is often referred to as a JDM (Japanese domestic market) car, the UK one has bonnet vents and headlight wash/ wipe, as well as those bigger brakes.

There were naturally aspirated ones with a choice of five-speed manual and four-speed auto вЂ™boxes, so-called Aerotop models with a removable roof (not to be confused with the optional Aerokit bodykit), and a bewildering range of trim variants, plus lots of options. Still, for the next six years, Toyota continued to punch out Mk4s for the rest of the world in increasingly varied forms. Now all those first buyers had to do was enjoy their Porsche-baiting Supras, which they did in their, er, hundreds. DonвЂ™t let that put you off buying a grey-import, Japan-spec car, though, because its smaller and lighter turbos spool up faster, so the car feels no slower.ДЄ choice of six-speed manual or four-speed automatic gearboxes, rear-wheel drive and a host of standard features вЂ“ most notably, larger, 17in alloy wheels, beefier brakes, an additional gearbox oil cooler and an active rear spoiler вЂ“ completed the UK picture. These UK Supras produced 326bhp and 325b ft, around 40bhp and 7lb ft more than Japanese-market cars, thanks to their larger and stronger turbos. The Mk4вЂ™s 3.0-litre straight six engine was fed by two sequential turbochargers for improved flexibility and response.
