[82Ltype]

L type

i own an 1982 L type. it has the leather seats w/ lumbar support,
85mph DIGITAL speedo. it ALSO has the fiberglass fender flares and is all one color, metallic silver. Since I am only the third owner of the car I know it is the original paint job and body style. It is the 5gme 4 speed auto. i hate the darn 85pph speedo and plan on swapping it with a digital 130mph speedo when I can find one!
I think that the fender flares were an option for the L type, there isn't really any other explanation for some of the Ltype to have the fender flare swhen some don't. Brian

L type or P type

Ok, here's my info:

June 1982 build date:

Model # MA61L-BLPQFA

As I read it the B-A means thus,

B=Supra
L=liftback
P=4speed auto
Q=high grade lux. or performance
F=twincam, efi
A=usa spec.

The car itself has:
L type manual(although it says 1983 year)
non wrap around front lights
4 speed auto (P types with auto?)
full leather interior w/lumbar support
automatic air cond.
power everything w/l/ps/sunroof etc.
Fiberglass large flares
is all one color, silver including bumper
front windsh. antena
85mph speedo
14*7s
no spoiler/louver
front bumper molds into wheel flares
So is this an Ltype or Ptype? I'll email you a pic if you want
RobMK2. Plus it'll suck if i have a ptype, I'll have to change my Forum Name ;-) Brian[/img]

More codes

Ok, I still don' think that the metallic silver paint I have is a repaint. I looked through all the paperwork I got with the car. Didn't see any documentation about a paint job.Unfortuately I couldn't find the paint codes to find out the original paint color. But here are the codes:
C/Tm/A/Tm 25SLP21F292A43DL

Ok, what the heck does all this mean? let me know ;-)

ps. Couldn't take pictures today, raining :-( Will do ASAP. I want to figure this out!!

Woops!

Ok, yeah you guys were right, I did get the code wrong. I was outside in the dark at like 2am with a flashlight last night copying it, guess the glare made the numbers change. Ok here's the correct one(yeah it was dark AND raining out there tonight BTW):
2B8LF292A43DL

I also checked the door by the hings and it's the same silver color as the rest of the car. ???
Ok, let me know whats up with this correct code.
Ps. I'm emailing the one front/side pic I have to you both tonight. Brian

Well, I have a custom Ltype!

Kudos and Thanks to Chris Eng for helping me figure all this out.
Ok, according to my paint codes and Chris, my 82 Ltype was originally sivler metallic above the side trim and below the side trim it was gray metallic. The rear hatch and bumper were originally black as well. Now, when i got the car it is entirely Silver metallic, bumper, hatch and all. It also has the flares from a ptype, also metallic silver. So it has been repainted to all metallic silver. Whoever did it did a good job! I really could not tell. So I have probably the only Ltype with Ptype flares in the Washington, DC area and maybe the East coast.. How cool is that? i would never have known. Well, so much for my restoration to original stock plans...Hmmm... Now I need a new plan! I need to get some body work done and repaint the silver anyway. Then maybe a 7mgte? That'll work!
thanks everybody who helped with this. it's really cool to know. Brian
