DOTS: Toyota Celica Supra MA61 1985
July 26, 2009 in dots
A new feature shamelessly inspired by Jalopnik: Down on the Street! Also shortened as DOTS. 
Even though Jalopnik is posting about every car they can take a picture of I will try to limit myself to special or old JDM tin.
I will kick off with this nice Toyota Celica Supra MA61 parked near the office of my work. For a while I spotted it on a daily basis and when I finally did bring along a small pocket camera it wasn’t there anymore. Lucky enough it re-appeared only once and I shot a couple of pictures.

When I returned home and put the pictures on my laptop I noticed almost all pictures were crap. The camera is an old small pocket size camera so it just takes 3 or 4 pictures and averages them, resulting in only two “okay” picutures. I noticed this after already taking a lot of pictures of other cars… I think I’ll have to buy a new pocket size camera with some better capabilities than this one.

The Celica Supra is a facelifted model featuring the 5M-GE, factory extended fenders and 14 inch 7J rims. In other words: the most desirable of the Celica Supra MK2!
The exterior used to be better than this, especially when I first saw it. Back then it was a low mileage car and the interior still looked stunning. When I took these pictures it looked a bit less “out of the showroom” than before, but it still looked very well for its age!
I haven’t seen the Celica Supra ever since, but I suspect it was owned by the same person leaving a note under the windshield wiper of my Trueno a few years ago.
The car is located in the Netherlands, so of course the car is not JDM.
I don`t know where you have seen that car standing around before.
But since this week i am the proud NEW owner of this car.
If you live around Hoorn you might see it out in the wild again sometimes
Haha! That is amazing seeing the new owner turn up here!
I think you bought a very nice car! Like I said before: the interior appeared to be in excellent shape and the exterior got the usual usage damage. I was amazed how well the car was after being over 20 years old.
When I shot these pics the car was parked in Hilversum near the Rotor Media building. My best guess is that the previous owner used to work for as a freelancer for either BNN or Pilarzyck media.
Unfortunately Hoorn is a bit far away to spot, but you will never know: I used to visit Hoorn every two years I think, so perhaps I will see it there as well!
hej im ser også bye en bil, der kan nogen hjælpe mig?
Hahaha, how amazing! I was just looking for pics on google and I found this:)
I bought the car from Ruud a few months ago. I’m busy replacing the heater core.
I hope to fire it up this week!!!
You can spot the car in near Maastricht (Limburg).
Funny to see how the car moves around in the Netherlands!
Next time I’m near Maastricht I’ll keep my eyes open for it.
