Not limited edition, but only available for revision 5 Japanese cars. There are two colours that you may be referring to - Mica beige and Mica Orange:

I've also seen a UK Mica Orange MR2 for sale at the Toyota Dealer in Chelmsford, it was years ago about 2000 as i was considering swopping my Zircon for it and we almost had a deal. If memory serves it was a 'T' possibly an 'S' plate and definitely 100% a UK spec!! Think it was up for about £16k at the time.

I have seen one since but not in the metal on Ebay (as RASH) at a non franchise dealer - it looked uk spec from the pics.

I have the brochure for this Rev and its not in there but the one in Chelmsford was UK.

ps found this pic, not UK i know but shows Euro import

Yes I've seen at least one (claimed) UK Mica orange with the right cosmetics (UK rear bumper etc). But it could've been changed.....

It's a pukka euro car - correct engine and steering wheel on the wrong side:

Cosmos blue?? Shouldn't that be Purple, I constantly get ribbed by the guys at work.

Mica orange or "burnt orange" as it's sometimes known, will always be my favourite colour for the MK2 8)

Im not sure about the hearing aid beige, or the burnt orange for that matter. Do I like it because its rare or actually a nice colour :?
The nicest colour I think is Caribbean blue.

Im guessing the rarest colours are Beige, then burnt orange then cosmos/rev5 blue then azure/rev4 blue, then all the other colours :?

Depends alot on condition obviously, but if it's a JDM G or G-Limited, probably £3.5-4k... Ask for a look in the engine bay for red cam covers and intake manifold and report back - best way to tell!
