Aside from the TRD engine (radiator cap?) this made me laugh.

TOYOTA MR2 TURBO REAR LIGHTS.


It's a rev3, and it's got rev3 lights. :-k

Edit: Oh no, ignore me, it's a rev2, but the ad says 1994. Long day!

credit to Jeff really, but yes, would love another one (though would have to be a turbo - this one is an NA) but seems to have the TRD Vin plate!
