bambisdad Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Being a really old git ( I had a test drive in a newly released mk3 let alone mk4's) and for many years seeing a Supra used to be a fairly common sight. Nowadays however we are a much rarer breed and it just got me thinking how many there actually are in the UK. There cant be too many UK spec cars left but how many j specs are there out there? Any guesses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Loads. Just hidden away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyldfyre Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I have been wondering this too. Will there be enough for me to afford one in a few years' time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Yeah there are plenty. Still being imported too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caesard Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I haven't seen another supra near where I live in south London apart from club meets in 4 months. They are proper scarce and rare IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attero Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Thousands but a majority aren't enthusiasts, thus aren't maintained as well as they should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCK10 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I'm sure I saw someone post the other day saying there were 100 UK specs left in the UK? Not a clue how many Jspecs there are though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCK10 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Just found the post I was referring to. It's 100 manual UK specs in the UK. My mistake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Just found the post I was referring to. It's 100 manual UK specs in the UK. My mistake I'd be suprised if anywhere near that, I would have thought half that amount would be more accurate. There were only approx 150 uk spec manuals to start with, 100 must have been sold abroad or written off by now. Maybe an additional 300-400 autos left. Loads of J specs though, well into the thousands. If you think you never see Supras, imagin what it's like driving an Audi S2! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Lol. This speculation is funny. For anyone guessing how many UK specs there are left, simply go to members chat and look at the table of UK spec cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even that is still a best guess isn't it, its always being updated so were finding new ones everynow and again to add to the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus is that not just the UK spec's that are in the club/people know of and not an actual accurate number.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robzki Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 This is all model supras including celica supras, not as many as you may think: http://howmanyleft.co.uk/combined/supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Even that is still a best guess isn't it, its always being updated so were finding new ones everynow and again to add to the list. Oh definitely, but for people saying there are less in the UK than that, the table shows at least how many there are. I'm sure that at the last count, there were 96 UK TT6s left in the UK. It is sad to think that there are only about half of them left, but at least it means prices should stay stable and possibly even rise in the future.

Tyson Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) I'm sure I saw someone post the other day saying there were 100 UK specs left in the UK? Not a clue how many Jspecs there are though. There are 306 uk's left in the country, 90 manuals and 216 autos. My mistake there are 90 not 100 manuals.

fastcar Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 There must be loads of j-specs they have been imported for years. Probably nearly as many here then there is in Japan. Does anyone know how many UK spec supra's were sold in the UK from 93-96? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
