This evening I've been offered a swap for my nicer Range Rover.
The Rangie is as follows:
3.9 Vogue SE Auto, LPG with underfloor tanks. Beluga Black, every option i.e headed, electric leather seats with memory, aircon, cruise, heated front screen, auto dimming mirror and all that palaver.
I value it at about £1000 as it needs a few little jobs, cv joint, exhaust blow, spot of welding (but nothing difficult or hard to get to).
As a straight swap I've been offered a '90 Toyota Supra Turbo, it's manual, red, leather - but the seats are aftermarket bucket jobs trimmed to match, Konis, 18"s, tuned to around 350bhp (or so he says, he's digging out dyno prints for when I go and have a look), the box is a straight cut jobbie - Quaife or the Jap equivalent of a Quaife.
The car seems ok from my memory, but it's been attacked with some dubious "body additions". It's got bloody graphics on and a stupidly big rear wing. I've told him that before I even consider it I want the standard wing and that the graphics are comin' off.
He's agreed to put 12 months MOT on the Supra and tax it for 6 months...
Should I go for it? I'm hoping I'm not sad enough to need a CWC[1] yet.
this is probably the only text in existance where I'm considering a jap car [2], so you lot can put me right when it comes to Japstuff now.
