Description
A Rarity Among Rarities - Fully Loaded 1990 Toyota SW20 MR2 GT Turbo T-Bar in Aquamarine Pearl (742). (Imported 2004)
This is not to be confused with the UK-spec GT-i. This is the genuine, highest-spec (JDM) GT Turbo with every single box ticked from the factory. Finished in the stunning and elusive Aquamarine Pearl (742) a rare factory colour only produced between 1990 and 1992. Having attended numerous car events across the UK and the Annual MR2 National Day, I have yet to come across another Revision 1 GT Turbo in this exact paint code and Original Spec.
