TF 069 belongs to someone on TATA STEEL Scunthorpe
I've only ever seen one grey TF300.....they seem to be the rarest?
Have seen 2 sable TF's in classifieds today. No numbers in the ads though.
I have just recently brought TF004 from Birmingham. Now she can be seen on the roads of Northern Ireland. I have always thought TF001 would have been the last one. Has anyone had it confirmed which way around is the last one TF001 or TF300? Registered 18/12/06

Went to see No 11. She was left in a garage for 5 years (owner was abroad)and has only 3000miles like new condition. Asking far to much though so let her pass. Regrets some
TF287 is mine - Black
How many did they make a week???
I know that the rarest is a yellow - they only made one, but I can't remember the number
OH MY DAYS. s:shock: :shock: s:shock:
A yellow TF?
Surely that is the the holiest of grails?! s:lol: :lol: s:lol: s:lol: :lol: s:lol:
Did they make a yellow TF? We need pictures.
Yeah. I'm sure they did, they needed to get rid of the last tin of yellow s:lol: :lol: s:lol:
Yellow isn't mentioned in the press release here (//http) and I don't recall seeing one on the list all that time ago. Would have been nice if they had done, they'd be the most exclusive ones, I'm sure s:) :) s:)
QuoteThe TF300 features custom leather and Alcantara suede-effect upholstery.

Welcome :-) :-) :-)
Get yourself a newbie thread up.
Hi all, I'm a newbie here. Having had a very nice red MK1 followed by a very nasty blue MK2 turbo import in the '90's I can happily report I have just bought a MK3, TF118, in black.
hello and welcome.
Would be good to post up in the newbie say hello section and pop some pics up

Not sure why anyone would do this to a tf300, they should be left in reversible position. Plenty of older models to modify.

That was definitely TF270 linked above as I have the seats from that car,what a waste of a mk3 let alone a TF.

Thanks. Will do and will also post some pics as soon as I've sourced new headlights. Currently the covers resemble crazy paving. Is there a sophisticated way of getting out of a MK3 which doesn't involve hands and knees ? s:oops: :oops: s:oops:
Chili Red TF176 pre-registered by the garage on 31/10/2006 with factory fitted Hard Top and TTE twin exhaust fitted as extras I bought it on 29/05/2007 with 1 mile on the clock, never wanted to change my car since, in fact touch wood its been the cheapest and most fun car I have ever run s:D :D s:D Trade in was a Volvo C70 coupe so this was a serious downsize. Has everyone kept their Final Production Certificate? I also have a book written by Brian Long on the MR2 Mk1, 2 and 3 which is now out of print costs me about £14 new, last time I saw one for sale it was up for £100, no idea if it sold.

Original owner... respect!
Be great to see that car at Ding Day is we can persuade you down?
I have never done an event not sure i can manage that which is probably my loss but thanks for the heads up. Had a look on line and the cheapest I can find the book is now £400 second hand at this rate the book will be worth more than the car or I will be able to sell the book when the car needs some serious TLC.

Very intrigued by this, as Brian Long has written many books on various cars and not seen one priced so high.
Is it either of these?

I think the other one (red) is just the MK1 MR2. Tbh I think its a silly price if they sell for that but thats books for you. My son collects Photographic books and often he gets them for around £30/£40 and they are worth hundreds when they go out of print. The trick is to sell them before they go back into print. Im pretty sure the MR2 book will never go into print again simply because the MR2 hasn't been a volume seller itself in the way many cars are so there wont be the demand for them. I certainly wouldn't of paid anything like that for one even though its a really good book, really well laid out and an interesting read.
Looks like another TF possibly being broken as there are some seats up on the bay of e.
What number?
Not shown in pics.
TF117 - silver
Hi just thought i'd add here i've now got the seats from tf193 a black car. I believe (but cann't be 100%) they are from a black tf300 that was for sale on copart as a cat b breaker a few weeks ago.
Previous owner of TF117 is on FB looking to find out if it is still on the road?
I have 025 - Silver. s:D :D s:D
Hi. Looking for a photo showing the exact position of the TF300 badge in the frunk. Looks like stu c put one up on a different thread about 18 months ago, but the photo no longer shows.
If anyone could put one up or tell me where I can see one it would be much appreciated.
I believe it goes on the passenger side front bulkhead put want to see exactly, cheers.
Just followed TF079 in black
Tf150 red
Tf067 red
Back in 2007 I had a list of the number, colour and spec of every TF300. Unfortunately over time and moving house that list has disapeared. However I have just found the list of all the TF300s in sable with air conditioning and hardtop so thought i'd post it here before I lose it!

no is the answer to that question s:( :( s:(
there has bean talk of 1 or a press car only. this is to my knowledge aim sure some others may have some input s:? :? s:?
I've heard from a few sources that they did, would be great to see the list.
My post from earlier in the thread regarding a yellow one. I reckon they stuck to the more generally popular colours for safety. They were trying to shift the last 300 after all s;) ;) s;)

I cann't remember exactly. It was available to anyone to see on the web and I had printed it off. Toyota sent me all the blurb on the TF300 tempting me to buy one. This online list was available to choose which number or spec I wanted. It was only available in 2006 and 2007 then was removed.
As I remember it (i could be wrong here) all TF300s were pre built so you could choose a number but you couldn't then choose the colour or spec (ac or/and hardtop). As the list shows I was interested in a sable one with ac, ht and the above list showed all the cars to that spec i just had to choose which number i wanted though not all of them were still available.
I would have thought someone who bought one new would know for sure as my memory is a bit hazy!
Might be worth an ask to toyota GB then. See if they still have the list for reference.

Surely not a TF its a 55 plate.
Mine is newer than that!
I'm no expert but that don't look like a TF
no badge
no number on back of seats
and single exhaust
Definitely not a TF300!
I know that but was only trying to cheer Stu up a bit, so don't tell him. [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

Ah, in the spotted thread.
199 is a dirty colour of silver with a tatty roof.
There's a blue one up the road, but it's on someone's drive.
TF300 is dead, it was the first Roadster i broke. Insurance job severe front end smash
Did the seats get salvaged Dean? Just wondering if someone is trying to pass another one off somewhere!
No. 171 in Sable grey is now for sale on Gumtree
The silver I bought yesterday is 212, failing that I was going to view 069 also silver for sale at the jaguar dealer in Hull.
BTW 069 is up at £4995 and they were prepared to knock £500 off just over the phone.

As far as I know its a UK only thing the last 300 imported.
The tf300 were just Uk only and the cars arrived on the shores in standard trim and then converted to tf300 spec. I recon Toyota GB designed the badge, I'm also unsure what the symbol is meant to be I think it looked like a wave
It was just a marketing exercise.
I suppose you are guaranteed the latest piston design and all the extra bracing.
Oh and nicer seats.
But you do get the goal post style bar which I'm not keen on.
The seats aren't that great and don't wear very well, much prefer the later leather, I think they should of fitted the tf300 with every tte extra and made a real special final edition

Looked at one in Valencia. Was imported from the UK and impossible to sell because of RHD. Don´t remember the number; was metallic dark blue.
The style bar did look good though. Same thing the exhaust; style & sound only but it sure did look & sound better than stock and the combo with the style bar was imo spot on.

Frenzy, David's, Netz all better by far.
It´s looks only anyway* and there is no discussing taste: Some prefer the mother, some the daughter and a few´d like both.
* will open a seperate thread about that
The style bar is very in keeping with the disabled toilet door grabs (Ginny Buckley's review), I think they go quite well with the design of the car. Divisive certainly.
As for the TF300 needing more options to be special I agree. Should've thrown the options book at it.
The German equivalent and objectively rarer runout series was limited to 100 units.
These DID receive TTE grandprix wheels, TTE suspension and looks like exhaust, style Bar a numbered plaque. Better attempt at it than the GB models but still no turbo.
Shame.

The only critisism I have is that they may give a false sense of security:

Hi . I've got 217
TF182 Sable grey is crashed, and it is currently on junkyard in Poland, near Tarnów,
I bought seats and exhaust from it.
That's sad, another one gone :'(

What was it doing there?
Who in Poland would want a RHD?

Most parts are interchangable, doors, engine, gearbox, bumpers, etc
Because RHD cars are very cheap(especialy crashed ones), some people are buying crashed cars in UK, and selling parts in Poland.

It's currently for sale on Fleabay.
At least an 06 silver with some TF badges is for sale with the seller claiming it to be TF117 but there's no TF seats, nor do I think it has the TTE exhaust and hasn't passed an MOT since 2017.
But only £1250.

it's a 56 isn't it? GV56 somethingoranother.
From the pictures, it looks difficult to see what the state of the seats is. It's definitely been modded though - badges, spoiler and other stuff.

You're probably right about the reg, I just remembered the year.👍🏻
Previous owner of tf067 red reg HJ56PKN is looking to track down owner as they have service book / spare key etc for her car and wants to pass it to new owner.
She kept hold of them after the car was written off
Interesting, that car was registered down here in my neck of the woods! ;D
Foxy was HJ ;D She came from Dorset. ;D
If the vin and engine number match the registration number on that car then it is likely to be 117. The registration is at least for a TF and therefore more than likely 117. Haven't a clue why someone has removed the seats and the exhaust but left the number plaque and the rear TF badge but debadged the rest of the rear while changing the bonnet badge

Yes! I bought it in May last year and have been trying to track down its history ever since. Would love to know what happened to it - the person I bought it from claimed to have no idea that it was written off.

Fake TF on autotrader TF300 (back of seats, badge at pack and twin exhaust) on a 03 plate, although to be fair not advertised as a TF.

142 currently on eBay for £7500.
It's black and has a supercharged 2zz from an Exige.
Current mileage is around 50k, engine has allegedly done 10k.
@tomato tf300 was broken up many years ago :(
@The Other Stu I see they've removed the TF badge from the rear of 142 and put an old TSport badge there. Also no TTE Exhaust, I take it due to the engine swap

Yeah, the TTE exhaust often gets removed. Which is odd, because the Rogue swap allows it (I know - this is the same swap I have and I have a TTE exhaust).
It's on a 56 plate though and the person selling it seems to know what they're talking about so it's probably legit.

TF065 Black with silver hardtop and 17" wheels
TF212 silver for sale on Facebook.
I have TF257 .
179 is up for sale on Facebook.
A lovely looking car with just 61k
It's blue.
119 in Sable is for sale literally a couple miles from me.
eBay: TF119 (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/235057513754?hash=item36ba85051a:g:BHUAAOSwmeVkkS4z&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4PkzBo3O97N2Hq4xmoj0Yl8fy6CyV5YF5PHcjVh2hqVj3dym4h2%2Ft9Ol8otpxX45%2B57ZMXmllIXCK6mWkmG0rmTe2Ds9ZLtTrbY%2Fy2%2FLILpfbnTEf%2B1w%2FtcVuB2bkSZ67yKnll4lvBCtomBO7UV%2FRh%2BKtBQUCf8t6Gitb7Cv1bKnfqMCqYfu4TLZicDfTnniYYyY9aEeCZA%2BzuiiOxGXSPUvqxSajHlcqE04INtYiLZYthMmqsuD0hdy3YJOU3YPEFDVdUBU3lfDiCPlk5npGcYmUj6MjgTXO%2BueScaSGa9g%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR6i8i5adYg)
Is that a good price?
I would like to think seems reasonable.
Owners for 16 years. I would like to see invoices for how well maintained.
£7k, 1k of that is hardtop.
Seems a lot of weights on the wheel to balance.

I was going to say it was strong money until I read the description and saw it comes with AC and hard top, I'd say it's good money for all that.
Quote from: Ardent on June 23, 2023, 19:07Seems a lot of weights on the wheel to balance.
Well spotted. Less than half that on mine. I hope there's no story to that.
I'm going to look at an SMT this weekend, but I'm going check out the TF too.

Weights are less dense now I believe, due to the materials they're made from, takes more individual weights to balance.
Checked the MOT history for 119:
QuoteDo not drive until repaired (dangerous defects):
Parking brake efficiency less than 50% of the required value (1.4.2 (a) (ii))
Repair immediately (major defects):
Nearside Front Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (3.4 (b) (ii))
Monitor and repair if necessary (advisories):
Nearside Front Coil spring corroded (5.3.1 (b) (i))
Offside Front Coil spring corroded (5.3.1 (b) (i))
Offside Rear Coil spring corroded (5.3.1 (b) (i))
Nearside Rear Brake hose has slight corrosion to ferrule (1.1.12 (f) (i))
Offside Rear Brake hose has slight corrosion to ferrule (1.1.12 (f) (i))
This is from September '22, and the advisories have not been fixed.
I haven't spoken to them yet, but if those advisories have not been repaired, I think that affects the £6995 price tag.
Also, it's done 52,224 miles.
Rear quarter has had an accident.
Different colour to the test of the car.
Unlikely to be numbers matched original panel repaired, probably not great for a potential survivor/collector

And again, well spotted. I haven't looked at it yet, so can't comment. But I do see what you mean.
Does anyone know if the wide body kit was actually sold as an OEM option? Like have you seen them for sale? I know the kit can be purchased aftermarket and installed, but curious if any where made OEM.

Oh wow, that's interesting, next number on to the 'suspicious 258' Yellow one. How does the VIN compare to the yellow one? (ending 5908) I know there are other confirmed TF's with VIN below & above this car which may indicate TF258 in yellow was within the final 300 UK models.

They didn't make a yellow TF, I know of the car and checked directly with Toyota when it first surfaced many years ago
many errors on that car the only thing TF is the rear square badge
