2000 Toyota MR-S factory built Monocraft gt300 car 1 of 100
in circulation. Chassis has covered 77k KMs (46k miles) whilst the 2zz + gearbox are from a 40k Corolla Tsport. The 2ZZ takes the mr-s from 138 bhp car to a more lively 190 bhp car that rev's to 8.5k acting in a similar way as Vtec, the sound as you hit lift is something special.
Handling compared to a stock bodied roadster is far greater, with the wider stance mixed with BC adjustable coilovers and the 17x8's you feel confident to go into corners without even the slightest of twitching. The car is beautiful and very unique, you will probably see more Ferrari's or Lambo's on the road than you will one of these, it's a chance to own a piece of Toyota's racing history.

+ Hardtop to match, car is painted a bayside blueish colour but unsure on what it actually is. Condition is ok if you dont mind stone chips everywhere, the best bits of paint are the hardtop and the engine bay, these were painted when I bought the car. Interior: Interior is stock in good condition give or take a few scratches on plastic
Car is fitted with a cat 1 alarm and immobilizer so you can sleep easy at night.
Bad bits: Stone chips, dirty softtop that looks tatty and has a tear just above the plastic glass, but does not leak.
Personally I was planning on removing the softtop all together. Car was bought as a restoration project but its ended up costing me far more than I had planned, and I have generally got fed up with being broke.
I love the car, I dont actually want another car, but I have to think what I want and that is to move out and get a place with my gf .Having spent near enough 9k,already
to get it in the condition id want it i.e spotless paint refurbish wheels powerfc im looking at near enough another 5k+ whilst the value of the car will not increase so have decided to just buy something cheaper and newer leave the tweaking to someone who will appreciate it more. I have spent near enough 9k putting it back on the road, im looking for 7.000, this is the chance to own 1 of 2 genuine monocraft built cars in the country.
