In Toyota’s own catalogue
Toyota’s own listings name the colour (スーパーレッドIV) but not the code, so they confirm the model offered it. These are the grades we checked:
- Toyota Supra A80 JZA80Toyota’s used-car catalogue: Supra RZ (E-JZA80), May 1993 to August 1994; Supra RZ (E-JZA80), August 1997 to August 1999
- Toyota Soarer Z30 JZZ30Toyota’s used-car catalogue: Soarer 2.5GT-T, August 1997 to August 1999
Has a 3L2 car been resprayed?
- Find the model plate and read the code. On the manufacturer’s plate in the engine bay, usually on the bulkhead or a front strut top. It’s printed with the trim code as COLOR/TRIM (C/TR): in 040/FB20 the paint code is 040. If it says 3L2, the car left the factory in Super Red IV.
- Check the V5C. For Super Red IV it should say RED or MAROON. Add the paint code to our free check and we’ll compare it with the DVLA record for you.
- Check the auction sheet. It should describe the car as red and usually prints the code. A sheet that says one colour with a code for another means the car was painted before it was sold in Japan. Our auction sheet translator flags that.
- Look for the old colour where a respray rarely reaches: the engine bay, door shuts, inside the boot lid and fuel flap, and under rubber seals.
