Ah, the Toyota MR2 Mk1, a car that dared to be different in a sea of mundane hatchbacks and uninspiring family saloons.

It burst onto the scene in the mid-80s, a pint-sized provocateur with its mid-engine layout, earning it the nickname "Mr Two" for its ability to accommodate only two occupants, and presumably a pet hamster.

With its wedge-shaped styling and pop-up headlights, the Mk1 MR2 was like a pocket-sized exotic amidst a world of motoring mediocrity.

It wasn't the fastest thing on four wheels, but it danced through corners with a fervour that left its competitors scratching their heads and searching for their cornering confidence.

Just like a rebellious teenager, the Mk1 MR2 was a bit twitchy and required respect, but oh, the rewards it offered to those who tamed its quirks.

It may have been a bit rough around the edges, but that's what made it so irresistibly charismatic.

We are pleased to offer this 1989 Toyota MR2 finished in Metallic Blue Mica with blue velour interior...
