Just c.18,700 miles from newIn very original condition throughout• Benefiting from refreshment by vendor in time for sale • With book pack, historic MOT’s, service history and V5C Powered by a Cosworth BDA-inspired 129bhp 1.6-litre four with dizzying 7,700rpm redline, the original MR2 utilised a 5-speed box and could sprint to 60mph in 8.5 seconds with a 120mph top speed.
Weighing just 1,070kg it had perfect weight distribution with ride and handling honed by Lotus (aided by ex-F1 and development driver Dan Gurney).
The race car feel continued with a short-throw gearchange, razor-sharp throttle control and immediate response to steering input.
The result was a blisteringly intense driving experience instantly familiar to a Porsche 911 or Ferrari F355 driver – yet at a fraction of the price.
With origami-inspired folded angular lines, it looked great and was immensely strong with no fewer than five bulkheads between the different compartments.
Good ones are increasingly collectable...
