Well the mr2 gods smiled at me this week, I now have this beautiful car. Its a one owner 1992 'Sunburst Red' sunroof sw. It has 55,000m on the clock and has been garaged its whole life. It hasn't moved since 2013 but has been so well looked after its whole life. The brakes are a bit sticky, the ends of the cat are disintegrating, and the coolant is indeed 'OEM' - pretty sure its the original coolant from its sale. It's a really unusual car, captain bodge reckons that the 3sfe was only ever available in rev1 cars, I thought this car must be a rev2 due to the brakes, wheels, interior, crossmember, tweeter covers and a few other things. No power steering or abs, no front fogs. A really odd rear wing, I have never seen one of these before. Its a Toyota fitted dealer option, I have the original recipe of sale and the wing is listed on it as an option. I hope to recommission this car and take it to a few car shows.

Oh yes, it came to me fairly dirty and pretty dull. The original owner was religious with the Toyota servicing of the car as far as I can tell, she also liked to have the car beaten by a drive through wash as well. This nice bloke turned up and made the car look much nicer.

DAMN! Fine specimen right there! I think so, it's probably the nicest car i've ever owned. It has a bit of rust in the sills where some arseclown jacked it up on the weakest point, that needs some attention - but this car has elbowed its way right to the prime position in my garage.

I agree. Some cars should not be fucked with.
