CAR OVERVIEW
Toyota Supra RZ-S 1996
Overview
The Toyota Supra RZ-S sits firmly in the sweet spot of the JZA80 Supra range and continues to attract serious attention from enthusiasts, collectors and investors worldwide.
Finished in White with a period-correct Grey and Black interior, this 1996 Toyota Supra RZ-S combines the legendary 2JZ platform, manual transmission and timeless Mk4 Supra styling that made the model one of the most desirable Japanese performance cars ever built.
Showing 131,940km, this Supra presents as an honest enthusiast vehicle with strong foundations and enormous potential. The auction sheet confirms a Grade 3.5 overall, while also highlighting previous repair work and areas that would benefit from cosmetic improvement. For many buyers, that represents an opportunity rather than a drawback, allowing ownership of a genuine manual RZ-S at a significantly lower entry point than pristine collector-grade examples.
With demand continuing to rise globally and US buyers now actively sourcing legal import examples, this Supra is expected to attract strong auction interest.

Why The Toyota Supra RZ-S Remains One Of The Most Desirable JDM Cars Ever Built
Few Japanese performance cars carry the same reputation as the Mk4 Toyota Supra.
Built during the golden era of Japanese engineering, the Supra combined exceptional build quality, incredible reliability and one of the most tuneable engines ever produced. The result was a car that became legendary both on the street and on the race track.
The RZ-S variant is particularly appealing because it delivers the performance-focused character enthusiasts seek while retaining the iconic styling and mechanical package that made the JZA80 famous.
Today, buyers around the world continue searching for genuine manual examples as availability becomes increasingly limited.
Vehicle History And Condition
This Supra has clearly been enjoyed throughout its life and should be viewed as an enthusiast project rather than a concours-level collector car.
The auction sheet notes previous front-end repair work and various cosmetic imperfections around the vehicle. While some restoration work would undoubtedly improve overall presentation, the car appears to offer an excellent foundation for someone looking to own and gradually improve a genuine manual JZA80.
Importantly, the auction inspector has not identified any major structural concerns beyond previously repaired areas, making this a realistic entry point into Supra ownership.
For buyers willing to invest some time and attention, there is significant potential here.

Whether used for weekend driving, shows, touring or future modification projects, the Supra remains one of the most rewarding ownership experiences in the Japanese performance market.
