The UK Supra you are talking about was launched on 01/08/1993 and has 326 BHP 0 – 60 MPH in 4.9 seconds and it’s an insurance group 19 . UK cars either have bonnet vents or not (can't remember which way round it is) - sure someone will post the correct.

Anyway the UK car is rear drive and has 6-speed manual or 4-speed Auto, limited slip differential, independent suspension, ABS, PAS, traction control, alloy wheels, cruise control, alarm, immobiliser, electric windows and driver's seat adjustment, twin airbags, leather upholstery, heated front seats, air conditioning.

Equipment includes a large body-coloured rear spoiler, circular rear lights behind flush lens, front spoiler with large front air intakes, five-spoke alloy wheels, cruise control, electric driver’s seat adjustment, heated front seats, leather upholstery, leather-rimmed steering wheel.

A high-level brake light and CD autochanger were added in October 94.

thank you also anyone know where i can get a tt with good (low-ish) mileage for around 7500=8000 pounds

The UK spec had the bonnet vent and the god awful headlight washers. I doubt your find a low mileage one, and especially at 7.5-8k. Look at spending 10k + for a UK spec.

The log book will be the only true way to tell if its UK or import.

Nah the VIN plate will tell you as well.

I posted on one of the other links above the differences.

And correct you will find it difficult to find a low mileage UK motor.

You will however find a full TSH reasonable miler auto for the money you are looking at spending. I viewed a white UK auto with 70k on the clock full toyota history in september for 8 grand and I reckon I could have offered at that. There are cars about but I am guessing that if you want a specific car and can't shift on the price you will have a very long wait.

one of the easiest ways to tell the UK from the import is the rear lights..

imports go - orange, red, red, white.

UK go -Orange, red, white, red.

oh , and of course the square number plate :D

Unless someone has buggered about with the rear lights as I have seen with quite a few!!!
