The '97 Supra by Muscle Machine
Like usual, I'l start with the basic info of the 1:1 scale which is that the Toyota Supra is a sporats car/Grand tourer that was produced by Toyota Motor Corporation from 1978 to 2002. The styling of the Toyota Supra was derived from the Toyota Celica but it was both longer and wider. In the 3rd Generation the Supra became independant of the Celica.
For the 1997 model the manual transmission returned for the optional engine along with a redesign of the tail lights , headlights, front fascia, chromed wheels and other minor changes. All the 1997 models included badges that said "Limited Edition 15th Anniversary. All turbo models came standard with the rear spoiler.
Then came the die cast from Muscle Machine. It was produced in 2002 It is in black color with silver/white, red tampo, with black detailed ( as seen below) base, a yellow interior with clear windows and PR5 wheels.The interior is highly detailed and the hood can be open, we see a detailed chrome engine and a chrome exhaust pipe. Well enough of words, here is the diecast it self.

| Thus the overall view of the 97 Supra Muscle Machine |
That is all for the 1 Day 1 Car post, I remember getting this Model from our very own Brunei Diecast Collector Seller with a good price of that a $uper T-hunt, and as you can see, it is a diecast collector weakness. For this casting, here locally in Brunei is very high, as it is a Japanese Car, and it is a Supra ( one of the car that can be heavily tuned), even the brand Muscle Machines is considered to be a RARE in Brunei. However our Brunei Diecast Collector group have a handful, however limited and on different cars.
If you are wondering why it is at the price that Sellers sell, in new, it is RARE as it has been 11 Years since it was released, and Muscle Machine is sought for brand not only locally but internationally, it is a Japanese Car, yes, depending on the Market, High value can be put on Cars mostly collected. SO if you see this model lying around, "Buy it and Go."
Ofcourse on ebay it is for sale
As seen, on the price + Shipping price it is USD $25.29 = BND $31.71
But this supra is not to be confused with the Fast and Furious Supra ( the orange supra) as that Supra is a 94 Supra, and this is the 97 Supra.
That is all for today,
