We love high mileage cars here at TG. It’s infinitely more satisfying to see a proper performance car that’s been to the moon and back rather than something that’s been wrapped in cotton wool and has only moved under its own steam for a service once a year.

And so, we arrive at this particular A80 Toyota Supra. Currently for sale on US auction site Bring a Trailer, it has a cool 388,199 miles on the clock. Sheesh. And at the time of writing the bidding is up to $42,000 with a couple of days still left to run. Seems we’re not alone in loving high mileage heroes.

This is a rather wonderful example of the MkIV Supra, though. It’s a hard-topped, manual gearboxed, twin-turbo car that was apparently purchased new by the late owner’s home appraisal business in Florida in 1993. It then travelled the country (what a company car) before its title was transferred from the business to the late owner in the mid-2000s.

It’s now being auctioned on behalf of the owner’s estate, and we’re told the 3.0-litre 2JZ straight-six was rebuilt at around the 250,000-mile mark. It’s not exactly standard either. That engine comes with a HKS Twin Power ignition module, HKS camshaft gears, a Greddy Profec B II boost controller and an aftermarket blow-off valve and intercooler. There’s also a Greddy exhaust system, and videos on the listing prove it sounds really rather special.

Now, there probably would be a little bit of work to do if you did want to take a chance on this Supra. Apparently, the power steering system leaks, the radio doesn’t work, the electric motors to move the seating position are dead and there’s a neat section of rust on the bootlid, but clearly the A80 has been a reliable tool over its working life. That leather interior is looking a little crusty now too.

But who wouldn’t want what must be the highest mileage MkIV Supra around?
