Rear lights are the best test.. rev1 / 2 had smooth lights rev 3 + had indented ones.. and a flat spoiler.. I would say being a 1993 it would be a rev 2

You need a post count of 15 in order to post images and urls.. :thumleft:

1993 could be a late rev 2 or early rev 3.

Corrected for you...

IIRC haven't you spent half of your MR2 ownership regularly swapping between Rev2 and Rev3 lights?

Rev2. (I think if those chassis numbers are correct, they were posted on here ages ago by another member they should be! Yours is before the rev 3 numbers so should be rev 2 as Gavinda already mentioned) When you can whack some pics up mate too. :thumleft:
