2000 Toyota MR2 Roadster

Highlights 

  • Superb condition 
  • Just over 20,000 miles from new
  • Mechanically in great condition  

The Appeal

 
The Toyota MR2 is an iconic sports car that is a household name and well deserving of its reputation as a fast, well handling, midship runabout.

This model is considered by many to be the best handling of all MR2’s and is a real hoot to drive on winding, twisting roads.

Of all the model MR2s remaining on the road, this is one of the finest examples you will come across, and you would have to go a very, very long way to find one in better condition.

The car has had 2 previous keepers and has barely moved in the past 4 years of the current keepers ownership, with only around 300 miles having been covered.

It has never been kept outside either as evidenced by its immaculate state.

The History and Paperwork

 
• New battery in the past year 
• Fresh tyres all round 
• Spare tyre has never been used 

While the car does not have its original service book it does have service receipts documenting regular maintenance over the last ten years.  

The car has not wanted for anything and is completely stock and has never been thrashed or messed with in any way. 

The Interior 

• Factory upgraded radio 
• Excellent condition
• Matching luggage set 
• Working air conditioning 
The interior is in fantastic condition, with only a couple of very slight marks on the fabric during its 20,000 miles of use and the red fabric seats and door cards being something that makes this car stand out from the crowd. 

A no frills sports car interior, this space in minimalist however every optional extra that could be had on these cars is there. The perfect blend of function and comfort. 
The white gauges really stand out against the mostly black interior and contrast the red seats and absolutely complete the sports car feel.

The Exterior 

• Stunning condition
• Hard top in excellent condition and unmarked included with protective case
• Very high quality respray on the right rear quarter 
The exterior is a sight to behold. Finished in silver, the paint is in fantastic condition, with a respray having been carried out by one of the previous owners.

This respray was on the right rear quarter and has been matched very well and carried out to a very high standard, only identifiable to a very keen eye. Fresh Firestone tyres adorn the stunningly clean original wheels. All lights have clear, condensation free lenses.

The Mechanics 

• Low miles
• Minimal wear
• Well preserved example 
Mechanically very sound. It has been garaged and has very low miles on the clock and having had comprehensive servicing, this vehicle has been preserved to an extraordinary standard. 

As such the car has very little mechanical history, purely because of the lack of wear. 
Taking a look under the car further demonstrates the condition and care that has been taken with this example, the car has clearly not been thrashed or driven in a mechanically un-sympathetic manner.

Summary 

In summary, this is likely one of the best and well preserved examples of a W30 MR2 remaining. 

If you are after an investment-grade iconic midship runabout, this is the car you are looking for. 

You would have to go to great lengths to find one in this condition, with many MR2’s having been subjected to very harsh driving, high miles or suffering from corrosion. 
A pristine sports car that is sure to please.
