1997 UK MR2 T-Bar !! 74k miles !! £1800

Post by ayresyboy »

Make: Toyota
Model: UK MR2 GT T-Bar
Engine: 2.0L Naturally Aspirated
Mileage: ~73k
Year of Manufacture: 1997

Well here we go. I have three MR2's now so one has to go! Sadly it is this one. My first MR2 and the one that got me hooked back in 2007.

As you can see from the pictures this is a very well presented revision 4 MR2 in a rare colour (Azure blue) with very low mileage.

It's just had an MOT and the words "very clean example" were mentioned. Also has 6 months Tax.

It's due the annual/major service but I thought it best to leave that to the new owner so they can become acquainted with it. I wouldn't expect any problems though.

Plenty of history and receipts....and 2 key fobs.

Mods:

- Standard alloys have been painted white
- Calipers have been painted red
- Lockwood white dials
- Sony CD/Tape double din unit
- Alpine door speakers and tweeters
- Rear grill removed
- Clear side lights
- Single wiper blade
- JSP induction kit

Bad bits:

The previous owner had a professional repair carried out to the rear off side panel due to a bump in a car park. Only the keenest of eyes can spot it.

Very small crack on the rear offside wheel arch due to rubbing when I had 18 inch wheels. It's hardly noticeable but I want to mention it to be thorough.

There are a few light scratches and stone chips around as expected for a car of this age.

Paint job on the alloys wasn't A1 quality so there are a few imperfections on a couple of them.

But don't let any of that put you off. The pictures speak for themselves.....

Typical.......I spent much on buying mine.
This is excellent value and looks great.
Had this been available 6 weeks ago I'd have been mightily interested.

Thanks for the kind comments. I too think it is great value. I have three MR2's right now - a TRD, a Roadster and this one. This is my fave to drive. :D

You still looking for around £2,000?

I'm considering another Mk2 but not looking to spend that much. Much flexibility in that?

Thanks
