Description

1987 Toyota MR2 MK1 'B' 18,273 Miles from new Two-tone white over grey Black leather interior Factory T-Bar roof Concours original condition Comprehensive documentation Delivered new through Toyota Sidcup on 14th February 1987, this first-generation MR2 was purchased by a retired gentleman who kept it fastidiously for twenty-seven years. In that time, the car covered fewer than ten thousand miles, was serviced religiously at the supplying dealer regardless of mileage, and was stored indoors between outings. Every service stamp, every receipt, every MOT certificate sits within a folder that tells the story of a man who genuinely treasured his car. In 2014, the MR2 passed to a second enthusiast who used it exactly as the original owner had: sparingly, on dry roads and on sunny summer weekends. Since then, the car has been in the custody of two serious collectors in Ireland, where it has continued to be stored correctly and maintained without compromise. As such, this AW11 presents in a condition few concours entrants could match. The two-tone white over grey paintwork is original throughout, with no evidence of accident repair or non-factory paint anywhere on the car. Underneath tells the same story: original underseal, factory finishes, and a complete absence of corrosion. The service history is extraordinary, not for the work carried out but for what it reveals about how this car was cared for. The car remained with Toyota Sidcup for its entire main dealer service life, spanning over two decades: 14/02/1987 – Delivery, Toyota Sidcup 10/04/1987 – 607 miles, Toyota Sidcup 30/10/1987 – 2,300 miles, Toyota Sidcup 10/02/1988 – 2,593 miles, Toyota Sidcup 02/08/1988 – 3,686 miles, Toyota Sidcup 04/01/1989 – 3,991 miles, Toyota Sidcup 20/07/1989 – 4,307 miles, Toyota Sidcup 20/12/1989 – 4,441 miles, Toyota Sidcup 24/07/1990 – 4,679 miles, Toyota Sidcup 17/07/1991 – 5,111 miles, Toyota Sidcup 09/07/1993 – 5,848 miles, Toyota Sidcup 02/06/1994 – 6,499 miles, Toyota Sidcup 27/06/1995 – 7,542 miles, Toyota Sidcup 18/06/1996 – 8,256 miles, Toyota Sidcup 13/06/1997 – 8,366 miles, Toyota Sidcup 03/06/1998 – 8,613 miles, Toyota Sidcup 11/06/1999 – 8,836 miles, Toyota Sidcup 12/06/2001 – 8,939 miles, Toyota Sidcup 12/06/2003 – 9,030 miles, Toyota Sidcup 07/06/2005 – 9,341 miles, Toyota Sidcup 01/06/2006 – 9,365 miles, Toyota Sidcup (MOT & Inspection) 05/06/2007 – 9,386 miles, Toyota Sidcup 05/06/2008 – 9,404 miles, Toyota Sidcup (Inspection) 04/11/2009 – 9,479 miles, Toyota Sidcup (Fuel Pump) 07/05/2010 – 9,479 miles, Toyota Sidcup (Fuel Tank) 03/05/2011 – 9,618 miles, Toyota Sidcup 25/04/2013 – 9,774 miles, Toyota Sidcup 04/08/2016 – 10,787 miles, Toyota Sidcup (Timing Belt Service) 05/05/2017 – 11,574 miles, Charles Hurst Toyota (Battery, Discs & Pads) 05/03/2025 – 17,382 miles, Rick's Garage (Timing Belt Service) The AW11 MR2 remains one of Toyota's most celebrated driver's cars for its agility and poise, credited to Lotus's involvement in the suspension setup.
