new owner and slightly confused

Well after weeks of searching i finally found the car for me, its silver, 93 L reg with 48K miles. Im well impressed with the motor and was smitten with them ever since my dad bought his back 2 years ago.

 

I am slightly confused though and was wondering if any body could shed some light on my dilema. My dad had a 1995 M Reg Supra (import) it came completly standard i believe. I have a 1993 L Reg which has gold badges front and rear which my dad didnt have and also i have cruise control and passanger airbag as well as some rather un attractive wood finish dashboard surround with chrome bezels around the dials. When i asked the guy i was buying the car from he said that it was who he bought it and believed it was standard.

Is there any reason the car would have gold badges and how come i have cruise control and passanger air bag when my car is older than my dads surely it should have been the other wya around????

 

I will have to take some pics of the car when i get chance

No has an SZ model the same as me which is why i was confused that i had more bits than him and my car is older than his,

 

I have waited for 2 years to get my hands on one of these cars but because im only 22 i thought that the insurance would have said no, but to my delight they said they would insure one for me so i searched for a manual import and manged to find one after a few weeks

The things you mention are either, regular factory options (wooden effect dash, pass airbag cruise) or simple cosmetic mod's (chrome dial surrounds, gold badges)

 

age has little to do with it, for example my 98 SZ-R doesn't have an electric seat for example unlike (i suspect) you and your dads cars.......
