Its an 80 mile trip for me to get down there, but I'm tempted just to get a glimpse of the car

Nice find!

I've sent them a message to see if they want to give us a bit more info and asked them to join up here

I've emailed them to see if i can go there to have a nose. If it's what I want I'm straight down Toyota's with my deposit.

Just read article, says it's running on 16inch wheels, all product gumpth states 17's?

From the pictures they definately look like 16" to me. Seeing as they got it so early its more than likely a medium specification Japanese import.

From what I've read in Japan the FT-86/FRS will be offered in two versions: High Spec and Low Spec. The High Spec model has 17" wheels. The Low spec model gets 16" wheels.

Well I can confirm the car is not at their Rye workshop as I popped down there after work Friday

The nice man behind the counter did tell me that its currently in Daventry being measured up for a supercharger.
