If you want a small, fun, mid-engined sports car that’s economical to run and reliable, then there really is only one sensible choice – Toyota’s MR2. By the time the third generation (W30) was launched, it was a fully-fledged roadster and featured a pokey 138hp VVTi engine that pushed the featherweight from 0-62mph in under seven seconds.
This is a very attractive example that has seen extensive maintenance and care over the years, both mechanically and cosmetically. Garaged and rarely used by the current owner, it is now ready for a new owner to enjoy. If the idea of a mechanically sorted, nicely presented and fun little roadster appeals to you, then you can;t go far wrong with this – it’s perfect for the upcoming summer!aeoUL1K1wb8ee465X6SfYdrb1peGqOEWSwJhXQH4.jpg571.39 KB
