1989 | Toyota MR2

The 1987 Toyota MR2 is a sportscar that was part of the first generation of the MR2 series, which stands for 'Midship Runabout two-seater.' It was manufactured by Toyota from 1984 to 1989. The MR2 was known for its compact size, rear-wheel-drive layout, and mid-engine configuration, which contributed to its agile handling and sporty driving experience. They were supplied with 1587cc four-cylinder engines and came with either a five-speed manual gearbox or a four-speed automatic. The MR2 featured a distinctive wedge-shaped design with pop-up headlights, giving it a sleek and aerodynamic appearance. The interior of the MR2 was driver-focused and had a sporty feel, with bucket seats, a centre-mounted instrument cluster, and a compact three-spoke steering wheel. The first-generation Toyota MR2 gained popularity for its affordable performance and driving fun. It was considered a competitor to other small sportscars of its era, such as the Pontiac Fiero and the Fiat X1/9.

First registered on 1st August 1989, in the very last year of Mk. I production, and to the one and only owner of this time warp example. Presented in light Mica blue metallic and supplied with the original purchase invoice, this car was one of two purchased from new, one was used more regularly and after its early mileage this one became somewhat of a garage queen. Having covered a mere 24,680 miles which equates to circa 685miles a year since new, it is certainly in time warp condition with the blue velour trim appearing unmarked. Having been garaged throughout its life the car looks/feels like new, supplied with near every MoT test certificate, this is a real 80's throwback and upon viewing we are sure many will fall for this pristine example.
