Introduction
Jacob Boodrie
Back featuring a new lightweight body, quick engine, and low-slung driving position — the new MR2 was a perfect car for weekend drives.
The Toyota MR2 is a mid-engined, two-seater, rear-wheel-drive sports car manufactured between '84 and '07. This is the third incarnation 'W30', marketed as the MR-S in Japan, Spyder in the US, and Roadster in Europe. The first W30 debuted in '97 at the Tokyo Motor Show. Harunori Shiratori, chief engineer, stated "First, we wanted true driver enjoyment, blending good movement, low inertia, and lightweight. Then, a long wheelbase to achieve high stability and fresh new styling; a mid-engine design to create excellent handling and steering without the weight of the engine upfront; a body structure as simple as possible to allow for easy customising, and low cost to the consumer".
This MR2 is coming to market after ~20 years of ownership with only 1 previous keeper being the garage who sold it. It has only covered ~44,500 miles since 2003, and comes with main dealer history that details servicing and maintenance. Presented in an attractive red over black colourway, it's a lovely specification that gives this MR2 W30 that extra appeal.
This listing was written from information supplied by Jacob after meeting Roger the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

the rear spoiler & roll bar are original. The a/c is working & never been regassesd . the nearside door & rear bumper have been repainted & repaired
Hi Roger,
With reference to the rear spoiler and chrome roll bar, were these factory installed or after market additions?
Does the A/C work? When was it last re-gassed/serviced?
With reference to a previous question, could you identify, if any, which parts of the body work have been repaired and repainted.
kindest regards
Andrew Jenkins
There was a reference earlier about a repaint. This wasn’t the whole car was it?
Hi Roger,
Firstly, great looking MR2. Looks well looked after.
1. Is there a hard-top available with the car? A/C was provided for new customers opting for a hard-top.
2. The rear engine undertray (affectionately known as the nappy) appears to have been painted at some point. It should be black plastic. Are you able to explain this?
3. Has the car ever been painted?
4. There appear to some scratches to the leather on the passenger side. Are they scratches or are they photographic blemishes?
I may have more questions to follow.
Thanks.
Andrew Jenkins
No hardtop but has a/c. accidently I partly drove over a tin of paint in the garage. car has been painted. I cannot locate any scratches on passenger seat
My recollection about the nappy. It was not as previously stated but the paint represents an overspray when the bumper was being repaired.
Hi, the care and condition of your MR2 is testament to you as an owner.
So has the Cat been replaced, &/or any performance/handling upgrades been made?
No upgrades Cat has not been relaced
