The locally-delivered MA70 is NA only, and was released in 1986. The MA71 update was released in 1988 and continued until the early 90's (I can't remember when it was discontinued locally). The update included several cosmetic changes (eg rear wing and vastly improved rear tailights) as well as the introduction of the turbo 7M-GTE engine, which is pretty major really! Note that the Mk3 Supra only came with the 7M-GE (NA) and 7M-GTE (turbo) in locally delivered models, but there are also import models out there that came with the 7M's. Obviously local models are worth more and they're probably a safer bet, so be aware of this fact if you go looking for one. Import models also came with the 1G-GTE (GA70) and 1JZ-GTE (JZA70). The former is basically the povo version of the Mk3 Supra; it's cheap but not too inspiring. I wouldn't call them rare, there are a few around but they aren't popular because there are much better versions. The JZA70 is the pick of the bunch, it's the newest and fastest version of the Mk3 but a good one will set you back quite a few $$$. As for being in "good nick", you will find that in fact a lot of Mk3 Supras have been abused and/or neglected by owners who were too cheap/lazy to maintain them like they need to be. This means that you need to be REALLY careful buying one of these cars - it's all too easy to buy yourself an endless money pit. Yes I've seen this happen, and I wouldn't want it to happen to me!
