No Reserve
Earlier T-bar (targa top) example
imported in 1991; off-the road since 2014/5; requiring some recommissioning;
3S-GE engine; sports exhaust and after-market seats fitted; lots of
scope
Dating from 1990 this early Second
Generation Toyota MR2 MkII, also known as the W20 version comes to us finished
in Red and sits on a set of aftermarket 17” six-spoke Wolfrace alloy wheels and
looks cool with its very 90’s pop-up headlights and Ferrari-esque styling, the
shape having dated well.
Sat in the middle,
under the engine cover we find the 2.0 litre four-cylinder naturally aspirated
3S-GE engine driving the rear wheels via five-speed manual
transmission.
This example is what’s known as a
T-Bar, meaning the glass sections in the roof can be removed, making it into a
rather fetching Targa Top giving much of the benefit of open top motoring
without as much wind-noise (so they say!).
Inside, we find a pair of after-market diamond quilted leather-effect
sports seats with red stitching, electric windows, front fog lights, digital
clock, heated rear screen and Toyota 13702 radio/cassette/CD
player.
The car shows 157,745 miles and comes
to us following a long time in storage, since 2014 and has recently been treated
to a new fuel pump, battery and fresh oil to get the car running. The car has also been fitted with an
after-market Japspeed twin exit exhaust which is rather
loud.
The bodywork looks straight enough and
would no doubt benefit from a cosmetic overhaul and light recommissioning before
being presented for MOT and regular road miles.
The
history file includes the V5C revealing nine former keepers, the current since
October 2013, a note from the vendor, three old Mots and a few historic bills
for poly bushes (2013), a replacement clutch (2012) and stainless de-cat exhaust
back box (2012). The last MOT
expired in October 2014.
On offer at No
Reserve, this is an intriguing opportunity to blag an early W20 example with
lots of scope and potential, and given the way 90s JDM cars have risen in value
its got to be worth a look.
