Description Appealing ZZw30, showing just 89,137 miles, MOT March 2024.
As the third generation of Mr2, the W30 was quite a big step from its predecessors, most noticeably becoming a convertible.
Powered by the 1ZZ-FED mounted in the middle, this 1.8-litre 16-valve twin-cam engine produces 138bhp directly to the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission.
Weighing in at just 996kg, the W30 is no slouch and what it lacks in power it certainly makes up for in driver pleasure.
Arguably the best handling of the MR2 trio, this car is certain to leave a smile on your face.
Showing 89,137 miles its history shows 10 service stamps originating from its first registration up until 2012.
Although not stamped in the service book, we also find invoices for an additional eight services, its most recent in February of this year, as well as an invoice from November 2014 for a new mohair roof.
A further look through its history file we find invoices from October of last year for two new front...
