991 Toyota MR2 2.0 GT T-Bar MK2 SW20 Revision 1
Reluctantly for sale, my MK2 MR2. I bought this car with the intention of a full restoration, however a new job with a commute and no carport to work under means that I must cut this short. You can read the story below, or there is a short summary immediately below.

The Story
This is the Revision 1 MK2, with the 158bhp 3S-GE engine. It has manual steering, no traction control, and as far as I know, no ABS. With no driver aids, a healthy 2.0 engine, 7200rpm redline, it is very involving and exciting to drive. At the same time, it's comfortable for a long drive and returns around 32 mpg at motorway speeds. Being a Toyota it's faultlessly reliable.
I bought the car from a gentleman in Newport who had owned the car for the past 8 years (if memory serves me correctly). It has only 4 previous owners and has been looked after with documentation to prove so. I have set out the service records and receipts below (totalling £3909, which is a fraction of what has actually been spent, but I don't have every invoice).
When I got the car it was a little grubby but obviously well cared for. I have changed the oil, given a full check over, and spent at least 70 hours ensuring any rust was removed and protecting vulnerable areas for future. This included replacing the metalwork at the rear of the sills (almost all MR2s will need this done), stripping the rear wheel arches back, sealing all seams and lips with polyurethane sealant, red oxide primer, and painting fresh stone chip shield. This was a pig of a job and I will never do it myself again. My loss is your gain. Pictures on request.
