Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
A low-mileage 1988 Toyota MR2, owned by the vendor since new, with only 41,018 miles on the clock and garaged its entire life. Despite being a runner, it requires recommissioning due to a coolant leak, a worn exhaust, and being off the road for nearly a decade without an MOT.
Condition
6
The car is described as running and driving, but has a slight coolant leak and will need its exhaust replacing. It has also been off the road since 2016 without an MoT, suggesting recommissioning is required. While the interior is tidy and mileage is low, these mechanical and operational issues place it in the 'Good' category.

Despite being out of action since 2016, we're told it has been regularly started and run on the vendor's driveway every 7-10 days.
Finished in Super Red, the car features a particularly tidy interior with a sunroof, and power comes from a 1.6-litre 4A-GE twin-cam engine via a 5-speed manual gearbox.
It does run and drive but there is a slight coolant leak, and some recommissioning is likely to be required due to its 10 years without an Mo
T.
It has also been noted the exhaust will need repla...
