Looking for 001 10th Anniversary

Post by W88NEE »

Hi everyone,

I am looking for number 001 of 250 of the 10th Anniversary MR2, if this is spotted or if anyone knows the location I would very much appreciate it.

Thank you.

Not quite but may be of interest though over priced. This one is 007 with full service history. Am tempted but not at that price :-)

I am pretty sure the car in the Toyota anniversary brochure starts at 002, I can check and let you know. I was guessing that 001 is in a Toyota musem or something??

Yeah I wondered this on the brochure it does start with 002. I will keep asking too.

How's the build going by the way.

Mr Bond indeed...fun number! Yea, GT...you are probably right about 001. Someone will enlighten us eventually. I have number 041 in Silver by the way. Oh, always on the lookout for an original cd/radio in case you hear of one. Perhaps the alloys too. :thumleft:

Making progress slowly... got all the running gear off at the moment tackling the underside. How about yours?

Try dropping "captain_codpiece" a line, he was breaking one so might have the bits you need? :)

Thanks GT...searched but can't find him here (maybe I have missed something!). Does he run 'mr2-bits.com'?

That's right mate, he has a couple listed in the breakers section.

Well, I tweeted Toyota_Europe to find out if 001 is out on the road somewhere or tucked up at Mr.T... they passed it onto ToyotaGB (seems Toyota have a twitter for pretty much every country!). I'll post here with the answer!

All they could tell me is that 001 was sold to someone. So, it could still be out there, it could have been written off years ago, who knows! They can't tell me any more than that, for understandable reasons.

Thats a bit of a pain - could they at least tell you what number plate it was on?

Definitely not. They would be in breach of the Data Protection Act.

As above. I might be able to find out if it was blue or silver, but that would be about it I reckon!
