An exceedingly clean and well-kept example
The Appeal
The advent of the Toyota MR2 really shook up the sports car industry. Here was a supremely capable mid-engined, rear-wheel-drive performance car that could take on the likes of Ferrari and Lotus. Early, original examples are rightly in high demand, and here we have one such Mk1 MR2 'T-Bar' from 1989.
The vendor tells us:
"I bought the car from Jersey in August 2021 and shipped the car back to the UK. As soon as it landed, I had it fully serviced and the cambelt replaced (receipt present). It had been dry stored on Jersey and has been dry stored since being in my ownership.
"An extremely clean, genuine and original car with a brand new advisory free MOT. Whilst I admit its not factory mint, showing some signs of age, finding a solid, unrestored example on this mileage is extremely difficult."image.png1.92 MB
