Make no mistake, this is a real beauty.
I've taken meticulous care of this car over the last 3 1/2 years in my ownership.I've been a member of this and other mr2 forums for 8 odd years, and its going to be sad leaving such a crazy and enthusiastic punch of people.
The car has always had the best parts, fluids and mods that money can buy, nothing has been skimped on in my time as a fello mr2 nut!
I'm sure I don't need to explain the rarity of this revision car being one of the last made mk2 mr2s in production.
Very few were built alongside the Rev5 BEAMS which is also rare a breed in itself.Due to the high yen to pound over the last few years, very few
(if any) rev5 turbos have been imported into the country since my own. You only need to check the classifieds to see there is no other genuine rev5 turbo for sale, or has been for sale for a long time!Ontop of this rarity, the car has been fully but sensibly tuned to over 400hp! It has been extraordinarily reliable at this level of power and has done me proud over the last 15000 miles of road use.
Starts 1st time with ease, you can do the shopping in it, travel across the country in it, take it for a day long B road country lane blast in it, it has never missed a beat and I'm probably crazy for even remotely thinking about selling it, let alone going ahead with it!The Rev5s imports came with red lettered speedo, lovely updated steering wheel, dual airbags, revised ABS system, metal inner door sills, speed flaps, lovely rear spoiler on top of ditching the indicator tobleromes and putting them into the wings like the UK cars.
Its also believed to have the strongest block of all the revisions (extra meat around the water pump area).The car has been mag featured in the last ever
MR2 Only magazine, also the very first Toyota performance magazine.
they even did a small video of the car on the shoot
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1y8W_WvLjpE
the car has had upwards of
£15,000 spent on it by its previous owner in japan as well as a sizeable contribution by myself over the years on top of the original cost of the car!Discovering and doing research on the mods during ownership it has also become apparent its potentially a phoenix power tuned car given the huge list of phoenix power goodies that came with the car when i bought it.
grab this very rare opportunity to own not only one of the rarest mr2s in the country,
(and in the world) but hopefully id like to think, one of the most tastefully modified mr2s on the forums to.mod list

MOTS, all mots since ive owned it passed 1st time with flying colours!
Servicing, all has been carried out by myself
the car has been run at santa pod a couple of times, best time to date is a 12.8 at 116mph with a poor 2.3 60ft time.
there is definatly a low 12 or high 11 in there with a decent launch!aside from this, its never been to a track circuit for racing, just purely used as a fast road car.
conditionexterior;
Lovely lovely condition, bar the odd blemish to be expected on a 14 year old car.
Wheels and exhaust look amazing
(couple have small area of very light curbing)interior;
mint lovely interier! non smokers car
engine;
runs very nicely indeed and has done me well.
addtional notes;i am prepared to remove the powerFC ecu, injectors and boost controller to lower the costs of the vehicle if you so wish, and replace with standrd ecu, and standard injectors enabling the car to be run at a reliable safe low boost level but still make 320+hp!!! est.

.i will also be removing the Headunit, amps and speakers along with the recaro seats you see in these pictures, i have replaced the seats with some nice condition Rev3 UK cloth seats.
the screamer pipe recently fell off, i believe 3 of the 4 studs have snapped in the wastegate housing, simply need drilling out and retapping.
thankfully screamer pipe itself i didnt loose. Car still perfectly useable and has not been an issue.MOT, i believe July 2012
