1994 Toyota MR2 MR2 Turbo Coupe Petrol Manual

Description

This Lot will be sold at auction at Ascot Racecourse; on Saturday 12th September.\n\nBarn find opportunity\nNon running, in storage since 2008\nCurrent ownership since 2000\n\nFew Japanese performance cars of the 1990s offer quite the same combination of character, usability and outright entertainment as the second-generation Toyota MR2. With its compact, mid-engined layout, sharp styling and eager turbocharged engine, the SW20 remains one of the most distinctive sports cars of its era, especially in the desirable Turbo specification. With its low centre of gravity and mid-engined balance, the MR2 delivers genuinely engaging handling, while its relatively compact dimensions make it equally suited to enthusiastic driving and everyday use. The styling is unmistakably early-1990s Toyota, with its wedge-shaped profile, pop-up headlights and purposeful stance. Alongside contemporaries such as the Honda NSX, Nissan Skyline GT-R and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, the MR2 Turbo helped establish Japan as a serious force in the performance-car market during the 1990s.\n\nThis 1994 example is offered as an appealing opportunity to acquire one of Japan’s most celebrated performance cars in project form. Purchased by our vendor’s father in 2000 and imported from Japan shortly thereafter, it has been garage-stored since 2008 and hasn’t run since. It’s therefore being offered as a non-running, barn-find project. We believe that the mileage of 60,567 is genuine, adding to the car’s provenance, and the car is also supplied with its original spoiler. Overall, then, an exciting opportunity for the car’s new owner to craft their perfect Japanese modern classic. Consigned by Charlie McCreery\n\nInterested parties should note that this car will require full recommissioning and is therefore unable to be driven away from the auction
