Bought in Jan 2008.
The car is a 1987 E reg. Its the cross over model, so it has all the benefits of the Mk1b and the better engine (IMO) from the Mk1a (the a engine has a lighter bottom end so it revs more freely, all the way to 8000rpm!). Its done 104,000 miles (not a lot for a 21 year old car!) and its had an awful lot of money spent on it in the past 5 years, including:
- New toyota front wings (inner and outer)
- New rear wings (inner and outer)
- New t-bar seals
- Rear bumper replacement as the paint was cracking
- Full body re-spray
- New starter motor
- Full suspension rebuild front and rear
- New brake system, front and rear
A brief spec:
Engine: 4A-GE 1600, twin cam, fuel injection, TVIS, 124bhp, totally standard other than a stainless steel exhaust system and manual choke fitted
Exterior: Super White, 15" wheels (195/50R15), T-top
Interior: Black leather seats (need some work), Kenwood stereo
Performance: 0-60 7.8 seconds, 125mph top speed

Sadly the MR2 was sold in August 2008 as I was simply doing too many miles for what is a very nice classic sports car.
