Description
1989 Toyota MR2 MK I T Bar. Mica Blue metallic with Black full leather upholstery. Launched in 1984, the featherweight sports car subscribed to the simple and lightweight, back-to-basics principles we associate with Lotus today. That said, it was shot through with modernity. The engine revved past 7000 rpm thanks to contemporary, cutting-edge technology normally reserved for period exotica, and the advanced construction techniques yielded impressive torsional rigidity, not to mention a sub-ton kerb weight.
Sold in the UK from 1985 onwards at prices starting from £9295. 16, the MR2 wasn’t cheap, but the low running costs went some way to offset the initial outlay, while the junior supercar silhouette and rare mid-engined layout helped attract buyers, too. This stunning MR2 has been with its last keeper for 9 years and it has been lovingly cherished during this time. It comes with a history file containing lots of bills, invoices and all of the old mot certificates back to the first one confirming that the low mileage of just 87, 000 is correct. The original dealers wallet accompanies the car containing the original owners handbook and dealer directory and spare key. The paintwork presents very well and in interior is unmarked and belies the mileage. The glass T-Roof sections still fit and seal well and the original blinds are still present with the car. On the road the car doesn’t disappoint, the twin cam 16V pulling tremendously well through the rev range, the 5 speed gearbox smooth and the steering and suspension tight and precise. Now a rare sight on U. K roads the MK I MR2 has a good following and a great drivers club for help and advice. Now just waiting to be enjoyed in new hands and start its next adventure. A fresh mot will be applied upon sale for your own peace of mind along with a service and new cam belt. Absolutely any inspection welcome. All major debit and credit cards accepted.
