Why are blue supra's so rare

Just wondered if the japanese had a dislike for blue seems to be hardly any sapphire blue cars around.They obviously have a large preference for silver black and red :(

 

perhaps they have a real liking for them and hence over the years more Japanese residents keep them and only the less popular colours make it to auction?!

 

I miss my blue one.....

I have heard that there were apparently only 31 TT RSP Supra's made in Japan, don't know how true that is but makes me feel more special :D

 

So Toyota made only 31 TT RSP Supras between 1996 and 2002? They are rare but they are not that rare.

These must be the rarest J-Spec colours, I've seen a yellow Supra but never seen a Super Red V one.

Gunmetal is lovely, although I don't like quicksilver nearly as much.

RSP I really like, nearly as much as gunmetal, but when I had my RSP one it used to annoy me when people said it was purple.

Black is probably the best looking colour, when it's spotlessly clean. If you don't mind cleaning the car every time you drive it, they're great. Gunmetal is fantastic in that respect and RSP is pretty good too.

Don't be daft :D There must be thousands of them, many hundreds at least.

That yellow supra looks lovely. Beautiful colour. Think I've only seen 1 in the UK.

Black is stunning after a good clean and polish. ;)

 

Totally agree, I always get comments of how great my car looks after it's been polished... Nice, deep, black and shiny :cool: I've always had a thing for white Supras though, they look really fresh and good when clean. But if I was going for a respray I'd go for something like orange, as that stands out and looks fantastic on a mad car such as a Supra.
