Wow - My Supra is Rarer than i thought...

[Kai]

As i was browsing the UK MK3 Forums, i came across a table that illustrates how many Mk3's were ever imported to the UK (4031). Mine is an '88 model, and i've discovered that i'm one of only 141 owners of '88 N/A's left in the UK (that are on the road at any rate). In the whole of the UK though, there are only 468 Manual Turbo's left, and 688 Auto Turbo's left. EEEEK!!!

Are there any registers like this in the US as to how many were registered and still remain?

If you want to take a look at the table for yourself:

wow, we are part of a dying breed. in a way.

Not just in the UK too, it's not like more Supras are being made. After every part-out, and every accident, there is one less that can't be replaced. So this means you everybody! Fix your rust! Repair your BHGs!

i have a rarer one in my yard 84 year MKIII Supra Wonder how many of these are there? maybe it was a hypersuper prototype?

 

[Finnon]

thats been done a few times on the uk site, there may be a slightly more up to date version. apparently a year or so bak there were 208 1987 n/a autos left on the road in the uk. be a few less now id imagine

 

[Kai]

Actually finnon, yours is rarer than mine - cause although there were 208 N/A Auto's registered, 125 of them are now SORN'd - meaning there are only 83 left. Yours being one of them.

 

[Finnon]

lol mine has been sorned for 5 months. mot tomorrow. woohoo is this reecent info or taken from the uk site?

pics and proof of year please. :biglaugh:

 

[Kai]

Finnon - actually its from that table. SORN doesnt necessarily mean scrapped, just not roadworthy...

 

[Kai]

BTW for you americans and the like, SORN means Statutory Off Road Notification. IF you take your car off the road without filling in the relevant paperwork, you're still liable to pay Road Tax. Without paying road tax or filling in SORN, you get your car towed and crushed without mercy.

pics and proof of year please. :biglaugh:

http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27862&highlight=wreck+supra Here ya go, and my proof of year is mega Jeff Lange:icon_razz 84 year MkII Europe version:icon_razz (the same VIN on the firewall)

 

[mk3forme]

I think about this everytime I see one getting parted. Especially when the shell is good with just a BHG. It great for those of us seeking great parts, but to what end guys. Fix your stuff and dont take the easy way out.:biglaugh:

 

[Kai]

After my crunch this afternoon, it'd be all too easy to give up, but i will persevere and FIX the thing rather than let it become a statistic...

^Now your car is more rarer Crashed Rarity
