It is not expected that in China, which was still a Third World state in 1993, Supras were sold as new cars. According to the latest state of supra-research, however, there is growing evidence that as a Chinese in 1993 it was actually possible to buy Supras through the official Toyota importer.
Thanks to a tip from the user Like_A_Supra we noticed this picture from the Toyota booth of the Shanghai Motor Show 1993. The picture was printed in a European brochure. Obviously, a red non-turbo supra was on display at the Motor Show. Of course, some manufacturers also exhibit vehicles at auto shows that only document what the brand is capable of, even if the vehicles are not officially available on the market.
Nevertheless, we did the search and did a bit of research. Let's take a look at the facts: At the Shanghai Motor Show in 1993, a red supra with left-hand drive was available. The 16 "rims indicate that it must be in combination with the left-hand drive to a non-turbo design.You look closely, recognizes the typical for a left-hand drive position rear window wiper: left Since no sidemarkers are recognizable, this must be a GEN model or a GCC spec After a detailed search on the internet, we found two more LHD non-turbos in China, in addition to many gray imports from all over World.
There are many detailed pictures of the silver. The VIN badge, as well as a specific badge, indicate that this is indeed a GCC-Spec model.
The second, red LHD NA also has the specifics of a GCC spec. Since the taillights are not from an EU model, this must also be a GCC spec.
Conclusion: Since lack of sales literature, a definite statement is not possible with these hints suggests that you could actually buy left-handed models for the Arab market through the Chinese Toyota representation.
