SUMMARY
Fresh to market having recently been discovered in a barn, this first-generation MR2 is offered without Reserve.
DESCRIPTION
- A UK-supplied, right-hand drive, first generation, manual MR2 that was first registered on the 23/10/1987 (five former keepers)
- Showing just over 81,000 miles at the time of cataloguing, the car has recently come out of long term barn storage
- The car starts and runs but naturally needs work following years off the road
- Accompanied by a folder of invoices, handful of MOT Certificates and the service book showing over 20 service stamps
- Excitingly offered without Reserve, this is a rare opportunity to return this topical car back to the road
- We encourage all interested parties to come and inspect the car for themselves at the NEC
