1998 (R plate) UK Toyota MR2 GT-i T-Bar Rev 5, rare colour, excellent condition

Post by HelenU »

After 16 years, due to moving abroad, I very sadly need to sell my cherished MR2 Rev 5 GT T-Bar. It will be a very sorrowful parting but would comfort me knowing it would be looked after as well as I have – it’s never wanted for anything! A female owner also prior to myself.

In the rare and much revered Cosmos Blue, a 1998 model on the R registration plate (genuine UK model),which has been my daily car for 16 years and has clocked a lower than average 105,500 miles (and will continue to clock minimal miles until sale – no more than 500). It runs like a dream and, as stated by MR2 specialists JD Motors who have recently maintained it, one of the ‘cleanest’ he’s seen! MOT to end April 2017.

In the last few years I have had the original alloys refurbed and installed a custom exhaust (sounds lovely!). This year I have also had a new battery, new alternator, 2 new front tyres, new handbrake cables and a new drive shaft seal replaced to fix an oil leak (spent over £1k since Jan).

Unfortunately an errant mechanic sadly lost my service history book which for the first approx. 10 years was main dealer maintained – however I have the greater majority of invoices / MOT paperwork instead.

The only things that are less than 100% perfect – there is a scratch on the rear drivers side panel (pictures detail) thanks to a pleasant person in a Morrisons car park (serves me right the one time I didn’t park at the EMPTY end of the car park) and the radio aerial motor does not work (however aerial still works). Not bad for a car 18 years old!

The car comes with 3 sets of keys (2 with fobs which require batteries / possible reprogramming). Immaculate black leather interior with red trim. MR2 car mats. Replaced gear stick leather skirting.

New Sony S Drive car stereo with CD / MP3 / USB input and removable front.

Sunroof covers and bags both present. Lockable wheel nuts. Comes with original leather documents wallet and sales brochure.

Car will be available from mid June – location near Woking, Surrey, UK.

Current private plate will not be sold with the car - replacement R plate organised. (option to buy private plate)

Looking for £3,295 ono

Pretty sure I have seen the car with this description on either auto trader or fleabay, that scratch definitely doesn't look accidental! Nasty piece of work to do that to someones car.

You may find that you'll get more of a response if you post pictures of the car.

If you're not sure how to, there are loads of people that will oblige. :wink:

She's only got one post, so it'll take a while before she gets the pictures up.

Apologies everyone - I wasn't aware of the posts...didn't email me to let me know, sorry!

As you rightly assumed - I couldn't figure out how to post pics....oh well.

Anyhow, can anyone tell me how I can delete the advert - being that I didn't manage to sell it, I have arranged to have it shipped abroad.

Was comforted to see that the little island I am moving to in the Med already has 3 other MR2's - think we will have the highest number per capita - a meet is a must!!!
