Toyota Supra Chassis Numbers

Hello,
Firstly, this is not a question about deciphering model codes. I already know that. This question is about chassis number ranges particular to the MA61 supra.
My question is this. Does anybody know what number the supra chassis number started and finished at...?
However although I know it would start at something like MA610000001, that's not the answer I'm after, so I'll be more specific. What range did the supra chassis numbers start at 'FOR AUSTRALIAN ONLY models'. I would find it very hard to believe we got chassis number one, in fact, I don't think it would even start at 10000...
Hopefully somebody can answer my question or perhaps point me in the right direction, I have searched for a while and turned up nothing...
Cheers,
Ben

Hi,
It's not important, but I would like to know, plus I would prefer it to be factual information rather than off-the-top-of-my-head info. I'd like to know how far off mine is from either end of the scale.
Another interesting question for supra lovers, does anybody believe these things will be collectable in the coming years or do people think they'll be about as collectable as an 80's corona (No offence to all you corona lovers out there, I used to own one, just using it to demonstrate difference in how common a car is)?
Cheers
Ben

Australian Versions had the Model Code eg. MA61 Auto MA61R-BLPQEQ or Manual MA61R-BLMQEQ ~ The Last Sufix (Q) means it is Australian Version. [It also applys to other imports]
I beleve it does as the MA61 wasn't imported in 1981, it started to be imported in late 1983.
My MA61 Chasis Number is MA61R-01xxxxx (Can't remember number off heart but is something like that), though it was manufactured in December 1983.
Thanks SeptemberSquallIndustries for the search of the frame numbers, I couldn't even find it when I was looking for it.
For furter information in regards to the MA61 go to http://www.celicasupra.com/phpBB2 as they will be able to help you more 
Cheers.

Considering that the Australian models were only released as the update model, it will be fairly high in the chassis number. Friend has an 83, and thats something like 0100000+, whereas my 81/82 is 0001519
