Michael`s Story

"I first imported the car in 2006 - it was almost completely stock when it arrived. As the years went by, I started adding the visual modifications. I started from the exhaust and simple engine modifications, up to the wheels and suspension.

The car went through some major exterior modifications in 2010 with a company called Xquisite. From then, the car really started to get a lot of attention. It was even featured in `Japanese Performance Magazine` in 2011 and has been featured in web features with GAC.

In terms of shows, it has supported traders stands at shows like: Fast Car, Meguiars, and GAC (Global Automotive collective). It`s been invited to 100% tuning show in Rotterdam and recently won `Third best in show` at the Japanese Performance Show 2017.

My most recent purchase for the car was the CCW alloys, which I imported all the way from the USA.

I plan to continue to develop this Toyota Supra to the best of my abilities. My future plans include adding more power, and I plan to do this by going single turbo. My ultimate power goal is to get the car producing between 600-700bhp."

Insurance for a modified Toyota Supra

Insurance for a Toyota Supra as modified as this, will come under the term `Modified Car Insurance`. It`s highly unlikely that a standard car insurance policy will cover all, if any, of the modifications listed above.

When you add modifications to a car, you are altering how it was made as factory standard. Therefore, you are changing the value and specification of the car. It`s imperative that you find a car insurance policy that can accommodate for these changes. After all, what`s the point in having insurance if your car isn`t covered in the event of a claim?

Here at Safely Insured, Michael`s Toyota Supra is insured via our Modified Car Insurance scheme. Within this scheme we can offer things such as: agreed valuations, limited mileage discounts, like-for-like modifications cover and more. Visit our website for more information.
