DOTS: Toyota Celica Supra MA61 1985
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. 🙂
