According to the celicasupra site the L in MA61L stands for left hand drive.

Are the flares you have large or small? The easiest way to tell an L type is the L-types have smaller fender flares, not NO flare at all, they are just smaller. So if your car has larger fender flares that seem to be another piece then most likely it's a P-type. If they look like they are part of the panel and just flare out, then it's an L-type. I'd post pics of mine but I need to put my pics up somewhere.

The stock L-type rims are 5.5x14's, but like me maybe the person who had it before you put the P-type rims on cause they are a much larger 7x14 and look better.
I didn't like the small L-type rims so I found some P-type rims from a car some guy was parting out and put them on instead.

Not sure on the 130mph speedo thing. I have an L-type and mine has an 130mph analog speedo. The guy I bought the car from didn't do anything at all to this car so I doubt he would have changed the speedo only and nothing else.
Also my L-type has leather seats and power everything.
Has a black hatch and bumpers too. Has a two tone bronze/maroon(?) paint job but did not come with a spoiler/shade thingy. Had mounts for louvers though.

If your fender flares are larger and look like seperate peices I'm guessing you most likely have a P-type.
What gives you the idea you have an L-type in the first place?

are you referring to only P-types, only cloth interiors, or just ones that don't come standard with that colour type interior?... cause my 83' L-type has leather burgundy interior.

what the heck is terra cotta??? LOL
I'll try to get some pics up tomorrow sometime. Most of the interior colour (seats, dash, door panels...) is like that of the lower half of my car, a dark maroonish/burgandy/browny colour, not sure what the heck terra cotta is, lol.
oh, code is 2K7 LF31

(ugh, and want to get me pissed of mention the spot on my near FLAWLESS dash, stupid cousin decides to test the cigarette lighter right in the center of it!!!) :mad: AND OMG!!! just yesterday while playing street hockey my stupid friend decides "Gee, what happens if I slapshot the puck into the side of ed's car!" DENT~*"S :mad:

yeah, after seeing Dougs interior it must be terra cotta cause mine looks like that (dash, arm rests, seat belt) aside from the cloth stuff and orangy look, although that might be because you can see the paint from his car that it's bringing out more of an orange tone in the interior.

I like the leather look though a bit more, gives it a nice dark tone inside, just my front seats are badly worn :(, backseat is fine though.

Also what's the RHD steering wheel and this leather skin you are talking about on the steering wheel? is mine missing something then? :(
[edit] oh nm about that. I just saw what you meant by his steering wheel, was looking at the other "terra cotta". *tries to get used to saying that*

Hope these pics show up, first time trying to use imagestation. These pics are taken with a REALLY cheap (well free) earthlink camera I got like 2 years ago or something.

DOH! no wonder my steering wheel has always felt thinner than I'd like. Just going to have to add that to the Things I'm looking for.
Thanks alot for all the info CJSREDPRA, good to know things like the exact name of the interior and things missing.

that'd be awesome Suprafiend. If you do happen to check it out let me know for sure.
how about the front seats and the center console cover and the rear carpet and the roll cover thingy inside the hatch area? :D

It's hard enough to find a supra at a junkyard anywhere around here let alone one with the same interior. I've actually NEVER seen a supra with the same exterior paint as mine, well till I saw Grahams in his sig when he pointed it out to me.

I'm pretty sure it is after hearing all this and seeing Dougs pictures that mines leather terracotta. His is FX31, mines LF31, his being cloth and mine being leather, same number so I'm assuming that is colour and the others are for seats and leather.

My steering wheel, dash, arm rests, seatbelt, carpet, side trim are all exactly the same colour as his (his pic is good quality, mine were taken with a free earthlink camera so the colour is just a little off which sucks :() The difference is his seats and the side panels with the stripes look alot different as mine are leather and much darker coloured.

Don't think I'll be swapping to cloth, the stripes just aren't to my liking. (no offense to those with the stripes, :))

I was thinking the same SupraFiend. Maybe they used the TC leather seats from these and created the burgundy or maroon interiors. I would have to see those though, never seen either one, lol. Just a possibility. But would be useful to know. If it were true would give us a better chance of finding a decent seat at a junk yard to tear apart. I'd like to find a few and take them to an uphostry shop to make two newer looking front seats out of the leather, seems like a good idea no?
