safcdixon Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 There will be plenty over 200k, but with owners totally unaware that they are. Trust me clocking is an epidemic with imported cars. I'm not signaling anyone out, but people who honestly believe their obviously tired, 20 year old cars have all done under 100k miles are dreaming. I'm not saying there aren't low mileage cars out there, but nowhere near as many as every classified advert would have you believe. As has been said before, the person with the highest mileage supra on the club is probably blissfully unaware of the fact. Edit: Just checked and between Pistonheads and Autotrader there are only 5 mkiv supras for sale with over 100k miles on the clock. Every other supra is under the magic 100k miles. Speaks volumes IMO. Im pleased that mine was imported early in 99 so was likely to have the correct milage when it came off the boat, mines only on 94500miles with all the mots too back it up, in todays market everyone wants a low miles mint example from japan, personally i would rather have one that had been used everyday with the correct milage rather than parked up alot like mine has, a well looked after uk be my choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMan Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 Alot of miles tend to fall of the boat and disapear into the depths as the cars come from japan. My Girlfriends 94 j spec has a uk odo on it lising around 115k miles so i have absolutely no clue how much it has really done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axl Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 there is a link on the first post, look up your vin in one of the ranges and you can find the month but unfortunately not the day of build. I guess mine is the oldest so far at an early November build date. My na is also a November 1993 car but fastcars tt6 Beats us his is may 1993 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcar Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 My na is also a November 1993 car but fastcars tt6 Beats us his is may 1993 I will check on the V5 when I get home to see if the chassis number is on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcar Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 My chassis was made between May and June 93. It has about 80k miles on the clock and has been bullit prof for the last seven years at BPU for the last 3 or 4 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamaSupra Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 My chassis was made between May and June 93. It has about 80k miles on the clock and has been bullit prof for the last seven years at BPU for the last 3 or 4 years Now you've said that..... Wait for that engine to go bang tomorrow My car is chassis number 3663, she's only done 76,000 and was imported in 1998. I don't think mine will have been clocked, as I've every single MOT certificate since import in 1998 and full service history stamped book. It has had 3 owners in the UK, 1st UK guy had it for 7 years, 2nd for one year and I've owned it for 7 years So she's an old Supra, but not high mileage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 some people talking about 170,000km being high.... I thought that was really low! Thats barely any useage each year for a 21 year old car!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imported it in December 2007 and have owned it ever since. Not much chance of it blowing up tomorrow as it's in peices waiting for a respray lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkerstrider Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 My 1993 na has 331000k on the clock, 206000 miles. Also got all receipts from import. I'll check vin for month when I can... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natony Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Whats great and shows the build quality of supra is that i have 2 supras, one with 205,000 kms and one with 42,000 miles and they both drive exactly the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 You need to look stateside, GEs there regularly top 250k miles, Ive personally seen 2 Aristo's with VVTI engines and they were both around the 250k miles mark. Sounded like swiss watches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Reviving an old thread here - I'm interested to find out who has the oldest Supe in the UK. So far, I know it's not a UK car (as in UK produced). Not sure if posting up Chassis numbers is a good idea, but who has a car with a number lower than, say, 0002005? (April 1993 or earlier.) Post in here if you have, and drop me a pm with the number if you think it's the oldest? I could correlate info into a spreadsheet, if I get enough info back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdog1989 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Not the oldest supra here but the miles are building nicely with aprox 206,300 odd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Not the oldest supra here but the miles are building nicely with aprox 206,300 odd There's no way I CBA to keep track of everyone's mileage, hahahaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattP Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 My old na died at around 320,000km. But it was a mix and match of shit parts cobbled together by previous owners so I was surprised it lasted that long. There was a 300,000 mile UK spec up for sale a few years ago for £3000 if any of you remember that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I'm after the oldest by production age, not mileage please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
