.another MR2.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Never thought I would own one again, but this one was abit special.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Anyway to cut along story short I finally managed to pick it up from the docks yesterday morning, along with several other cars which arent mr2, so no point mentioning them.

With the current economic climate I admit this was a stupid purchase on my part but I really couldnt say no, here is the spec:
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
December 1998 Revision 5 MR-2 GT-S Turbo in Cosmos blue
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(a model I have always wanted).

It has had one owner from new, a nice woman called Izumi Yau.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
She had bought this from a Toyota dealership in Japan brand new and has owned it for the past 9 years.

Never been in an accident and all original paint.

The best part about it is that it's completely standard, I mean even the airfiler is the oem toyota stuff.

I took it for a test drive and remembered why these little cars are so great, not even a squeek bump or rattle from this thing, it was like new.

So I made her an offer and suprisingly she accepted.

Luckily I paid for the car before the yen dropped and the market went bad, otherwise I dont think I could of got it.

Anyway, after a long 2.5 months trying to get it back to the UK, with my usual shipping company going bust and having to get it containered instead it finally arrived in one piece.

No current plans for it at the moment, going to wait till next year so I dont have to SVA it as it'll be 10 years old, service it and enjoy it.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Dont plan to mod it in anyway either as it's too nice for anything like that.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Anyway, only one picture for now of it being introduced to the first of many rainy British days.
