I believe this to be one of. or even the very first MR2 T-Bar to have been introduced to the UK.   Originally it was the company car of the Sales Director at Toyota GB and obtained. for me. nbsp;by a Toyota employee in February 1987.   I have owned the car ever since and therefore will be sad to see it go.   The price shown is as it is because I don't really expect to sell it on Ebay - the car is listed at a Classic Car Auction through Barons on 25th Feb so any MR2 enthusiasts out there? Check it out.  


I have the complete service history including all MOT certificates bar one and SORN'S to authenticate the mileage.   Due to the arrival of triplets. the car has been off the road for most of the last 10 years but stored in a garage. heated during the winter.   The engine. clutch and gearbox are all original and in perfect working order - it drives beautifully. is very quick off the mark and responsive up the range.   it certainly has a great ride over smooth and less than smooth roads and the best cornering/handling of any car I have ever driven.   The twin-cam 16 valve Webber fuel injection give a 0-60 in just 7. 6 seconds.  


Bringing my MR2 out of retirement in order to sell. required only the fuel pump to be replaced and some minor welding to reinforce around the rear suspension. in order to pass the MOT.   The tyres are very good as is the battery. The interior is in very good condition. the wheels are original but were renovated some 12-13 years ago and at the same time the rear wheel arches were renovated and treated against corrosion consistent with a then 15 year old MR2. It has a factory fitted Scorpion 737 alarm and immobiliser (unfortunately it is only key operated now but it may be possible to obtain new remote units which also activate the door locks).    The original radio has been replaced with a CD/radio.   It has a PowerFlow Big Bore Stainless Steel Exhaust system which originally came with a lifetime guarantee (until I neglected to keep up with the annual inspections once I took it off the road. )


I almost sold twice before in the 1990's but withdrew even then receiving offers in excess of the asking price. Still not sure if I can part with it and certainly wouldn't if I hadn't already just bought an XKR convertible. Other than that. I have always believed the first T-Bars to be iconic and will be surprised if there are any better examples still around today.
