The third-generation Toyota Supra, internally known as the A70, arrived in 1986 and represented an important turning point for Toyota's flagship sports car.

No longer sharing its identity with the Celica, the Supra became a model in its own right, retaining the traditional front-engined, rear-wheel-drive layout while introducing a far more sophisticated chassis and unmistakably 1980s grand touring styling.

With its long bonnet, pop-up headlights, muscular proportions and straight-six power, the Mk3 has increasingly found its place amongst the most recognisable Japanese performance cars of its era.

This 1989 example is powered by Toyota's naturally aspirated 3.0-litre, 24-valve straight-six engine and, importantly, is paired with the desirable five-speed manual gearbox.

With around 200bhp when new, these were accomplished high-speed grand tourers, combining strong performance with the refinement and engineering for which Toyota was becoming increasingly renowned.
