When did model years change over?

[DonS1mpson]

Not sure if the title makes enough sense, so I'll explain a bit

I went to have a look at a Supra that was registered on 11th of January 1991, making it a 1991 car, but I doesn't seem to have any of those 1991 - 1992 goodies that I've heard so much about - It was sitting on blades, the speaker pods looked exactly like the ones from my old 88, the body trim wasn't the same colour as the body and it had the 'nornal' supra bade instead of the toyota one.

To be honest, the 91/92 thing has ever really appealed to me, but I am seriously thinking about buying this car and it's got me thinking. Is it a matter of it being too much of an early car to a real 91 (did the official production run of 91s start after Jan 1991?).

Let me know what you think

Thanks

Josh

registration dates and production dates are very different things.

What is your point of reference for this, do you have an actual production date or is it just when the car left the lot and was registered to an owner in a certain state?

Check the vin. 10th character is your year. 1990 will be an L, 91 an M, 92 an N.
