The second-generation MR2 (SW20) was developed under Toyota’s celebrated 1980s 'Fun to Drive' philosophy, with chassis tuning input from Lotus engineers to achieve the perfect balance between agility and stability
This 1999 example is among the final Revision 5 UK-market cars, featuring revised suspension geometry, clear-lens lighting, 15" alloys, and a factory T-Bar glass roof with its original storage bags
Finished in Silver Mist Metallic (Code 199) with a contrasting black roof, it presents strikingly well and represents the ultimate evolution of the Mk2 MR2
Powered by the 2-litre 16-valve Twin-Cam (3S-GE) engine and paired to a 5-speed manual gearbox, producing around 170bhp and delivering near-perfect 45:55 weight distribution
Owned by one lady from new until 2024, covering just 51,000 miles, and accompanied by its original stamped service book and ownership documents
A time-warp survivor from Toyota’s golden era - unmodified, low-mileage, and one of the very last UK-delivered MR2...
