The MR2 was a milestone in the Japanese firm's history. Before these impressive mid-engined sports cars hit the market, they were generally known for dependable, sensible cars - punctuated by the odd hot-hatch. The MR2 proved they knew how to have a good time, and it quickly became the stuff of legend.
Of all the MR2s, the MK2 car is the most famous - not only was it the longest in production, but arguably the best styling-to-performance ratio, in thanks part to its larger 2.0-litre powerplant and gentle refinements to a drivetrain that was already proving incredibly impressive. It's aged remarkably well, too!
This particular 1998 Grand Prix white example is a scarce find; it's been with its single owner from new, and maintained accordingly to a great result. The car comes with a fresj MOT, all original documentation, and presents as a largely standard example with a few upgraded creature comforts in the cabin.
