Hey Geoff
Hope you’re doing well mate. I wanted to share my enthusiasm with you and to pass on my utmost appreciation and praise for the gem of a 1996 Chaser you’ve helped me source. Here are some details I found out when I first went to see the car at compliance:
– logbook history,
– 100k service with water pump changed too
– HID headlights
– all keys (even the extra the previous owner made) supplied
– the horns were missing 🙁 – but bodykit is all there – no cracks or damage from transport.
– has 215s on the front and 235s stretched on the rears – 17″ TRD’s (actually Rays)
I loved the efficiency of your service for both vehicles. The Chaser has been doing really well, picking it up tomorrow after getting a T04S turbo put on ! I was looking through my past car paperwork and found out my Aristo was brought in by your business too (I purchased it from the local guy though).
