blythmrk Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I dug my red UK 6 speed out yesterday to take a few pictures for the agreed valuation of 32k and though it was I ideal opportunity to get a few pictures of both cars together (although they live next to each other in the garage I never really see them both out together!) The black one needed a wash anyway. I still prefer the Supra in red I have just found this old picture out too from 12 years ago! Yes I still have the MKiii too!

Yes I forgot about white with ivory. I have never seen a std factory UK car in either black/red or storm blue with black leather I originally wanted a black uk car with black leather and never found a std UK car with that option but think the red with ivory is great!

I was the same, I wanted the black interior on black car too, but as you say, they just aren't about. I think I only ever seen it once. Ivory on red is a nice contrast For me though nothing beats the black leather interior on the uk spec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I am aware the UK rears are leather when the jdm cars even GZ's were vinyl. I am still learning about mkivs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 UK got different grain leather, different stitching, and proper leather rear seats and arm rests on the doorcards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 For me though nothing beats the black leather interior on the uk spec If it weren't for the pre facelift dash panels because of that the rare facelift RZ-S cars that were optioned with leather have the nicest looking interiors. The 3 spoke facelift steering wheel is also a nicer, more modern design than the 4 spoke UK wheel IMO. Many prefer the late RZ interior with the confetti Recaros and carbon wheel, but that looks too fussy IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a lovely position to be in. If I had the opportunity I would buy a red TT 6 speed just like you and keep it as a collectors item. I'd have another (again ideally red) for hobby use.

I'll admit that the 3 spoke wheel looks better, but the optioned RZ-s , did that have the same spec leather etc as the UK? Or was that the GZ seats?

Or was that the GZ seats? (Genuinely don't know) No, the UK spec leather seems to be superior to either of the jap types. The only difference between the pre facelift gz and the post facelift RZ-S leather seats are the patterns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blythmrk Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 Does anyone have a complete list of what is different on a UK car compared to a JDM one. As more and more seems to pop that is different. I always thought the leather would be the same in a UK or JDM spec. When I bought my red UK car 15 years ago I managed to put a nice slash in my rear seat whist transporting a circular saw (it wouldn't go in the boot!) I tried buying a new rear seat from Toyota and even then they said they were never available. I visited a few car re-trimmers but the grain of the leather didn't match although the colour was bang on. So I used parts finder and managed to source a mint Ivory rear seat. I always remember collecting it from near the Dartford Tunnel and the guy saying you don't need and thing like a 6 speed box for cheap do you? I really need a crystal ball!!
