Description

Purchased by us, Platinum Toyota Bath, in 2020, with the intention of taking it to display at local shows. It’s been kept in dry storage since that point. We have just recommissioned the vehicle with the following work completed: New MOT, 4x Tyres, New Cambelt and Water Pump Kit. First registered 01/08/1989. The legendary Toyota MR2 is a line of two-seater, mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive sports cars, manufactured in Japan and marketed globally by Toyota from 1984 until 2007 over three generations. Conceived as a small, economical, and sporty car, the MR2 uses simple but effective design elements, including an inline-four engine, transversely mounted in front of the rear axle, four-wheel disc brakes, and fully independent coil over suspension – MacPherson strut fronts and Chapman strut rears. This combination is what made the MR2 such a hit. UK sales of the first-generation MR2 far exceeded expectations, with a total of 13,580 examples being sold here from 1985 to 1989. As Toyota engineered the MR2 to accommodate a 2-litre engine, its primary features included its light body (as low as 950 kg (2,094 lb) in Japan and 1,066 kg (2,350 lb) in the US), strong handling, and low-power small-displacement engine. The car is often referred to as the AW11, referring to the chassis code of the most common 1.6-litre, A-engine versions. The MR2's suspension and handling were designed by Toyota with the help of Lotus engineer Roger Becker. Toyota's cooperation with Lotus during the prototype phase can be seen in the AW11, and it owes much to Lotus's sports cars of the 1960s and 1970s.
