Before you and up for bid is my first generation 1987 TOYOTA MR2 Sport Coupe.The particulars of the MR2 are as follows:
* One lady owned MR2 since being purchased new on Valentines Day, 1988 as a early wedding present.
* Chicago residents, the new owners had to travel to Moody-Wadley Toyota in Dyersburg, TN., to take delivery, as that was the closest dealer to have this pewter color in inventory.

* Completely stock, NO modifications ever and difficult to find having never been modified
* In 2013, the car overheated, it was taken to a Toyota "specialist". They recommended replacing the engine with a Toyota remanufactured engine. Receipts totaled more than $4800.00 with everything including a new alternator in Sept. of 2013.
* 1.6 liter, twin cam 16 valve engine

At 32 model years of age, the MR2 looks and drives great! It drives tight, goes down the road straight and stops assuredly. It is a clean, classic MR2 that always garners nice compliments, and it is one that is rare to find in this condition with a documented one ownership history!
A vehicle can be restored many times, it is however, only original once. Overall, I would rate the car a good 8 out of 10.

These first gen MR2's are a blast to drive and highly desirable. The origami design still looks great and remember, these were made in Japan, and infinitely better than when manufacturing came stateside.
A very affordable and fun little car! If there is a better example available for the money, buy it!
Thanks for looking and good luck when you bid!
