Has the Manual been Dropped in UK?

Toyota UK site just showing 2 options - 2 litre Pro and 3 litre Pro Auto?

I read somewhere that they were making 500 and that was it?

That was the Matt White A91. Not giving any manual option on the website now and no standard 3 Litre, just the Pro Auto??

OMG I just checked, I think you're right?! Wtf did they just stop selling the MT for good or is it temporary?

I'll see if I can google it and find anything.

Spoke to my dealer and he confirmed Toyota have slimmed down the avaialble models!!

Tried searching earlier and nothing flags up

Yeah same, couldn't find anything, wow that's mad! That's less than 1 year it was available

Let the madness begin!

Hence why I bought mine on Monday - it's an August 2022 build, but only had 218 miles on the clock.
Was too good to miss.

58 Miles on mine and mothballed!

I ordered my Pro manual and just collected
It today….. got it home and realised it wasn’t a ‘pro’.
The car is stunning, just raging that there is no head up display and bum heaters. Called the dealer and they said they would investigate and also mentioned at the same time that the manual was no longer available in UK.

Stunning car so I’ll keep it, but I’m pissed of. I ordered the extras as I wanted them, now there is no way to even return the car and re-order.
Was blown away by the car in general so yes, I didn’t notice until I drove the 3
Miles home…. (I did just return from 5 weeks offshore so I probably wasn’t in the best frame of mine to start with!)

Wow mate that is ridiculous!

I believe the main differences are you don't get JBL, seats have far less electric settings, the middle part of the seat is alcantara instead of leather, no HUD, (I have the NON Pro 3.0 MT, in Yellow, so essentially... your car! lol).

I hope you decide to keep it anyway! The main thing I wonder now is, your PCP (I assume you're financing) would need to be reduced, as I think it was 2-3 grand difference so maybe that helps too

I just got another car (daily) with HUD, so at least my HUD fix is sorted lol, did like it on the Supra though...
Not bothered about jbl as I hardly ever listen to music, I bought the Supra 99% for it looks and for the B58 sound so why cover it up with music?

Electric seats are cool, but then I realized, no one else drives my car, I set it up once and never touched it again so don't really matter? Except the heating in winter I suppose...

Hope this helps take your mind off it lol and congratulations, let us know how you get on, did you find reverse gear quite difficult to engage?

Yes I’ll probably have to keep it as you can’t order a manual now according to Toyota UK.

what you described is basically my car on the seat situation. To be honest, I adore the car as it’s what I have been dreaming off, so to be honest I’m actually starting To feel very frustrated/disappointed…….
Drove the car all day and I adore it, but the fact that it’s first have the ‘Pro’ options is annoying me more than I thought. I did finance it so I’ll be calling the dealer back tomorrow to find out what the story is and adjust the price as required.
The dealer has been great and made the entire process very easy, however, I’m sure they should have noticed the specification ad they had the car in their showroom for a month before I collected it today. (Working offshore/over seas)

It’s just annoying as the car is stunning yet it lacks the small interior things that I picked. Feeling a little underwhelmed after waiting to get my hands on it. If I had the choice to hand it back I probably would, but manuals are clearly hard to come by…….

I actually watched the dealer select the options during the ordering process so I know it’s not their fault, looks like wrong delivery on the part of Toyota UK but still….. pretty poor that I could pick this up after a 3 mile drive home.

Absolutely, and furthermore it's just pathetic because one of the selling points of the Supra is the extremely simplistic spec, there's just TWO choices, and they still got it wrong!

What I would try is to see if they can do something to apologise i.e. give you a free first service?
This happened to me years ago when I bought a factory order but when I collected it, they'd put a lot mileage on it driving it to the dealership, instead of flatbedding it, so they gave me £200 to cover first service...

Good luck, let us know how it goes.

Don't know how many times it needs to be said on here. But there is no order system. Dealer puts in desired spec and Toyota just sends an allocation and hope it matches or close to your spec. They don't build to specific specs sent in.
