2002 Toyota MR2

We love our Japanese sports cars here at SB so we're thrilled to have this mighty fine 2002 Toyota MR2 Roadster on the platform in a classic black paint with a striking Burgundy-coloured fabric roof. For background, this 3rd gen MR2 like we have here was launched in Europe in March 2000 with a 'monospec' approach, incorporating the features of Japan's 'S' trim level that included power door locks, windows and mirrors, alloy wheels, an adjustable tilt steering wheel and a CD player. This gen sticks with the mid-engine, mini-supercar layout and has just the right amount of power to be great fun, but without intimidating newcomers or being expensive to own and operate. Under the bonnet lies the mid-mounted 1.8-litre ‘1ZZ-FED’ inline-four with variable camshaft timing (VVT-i) that sends 138bhp and 126lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. Inside, the cabin has a nice snug, sporty feel, and enough equipment to be comfortable. The reluctant seller of this MR2 - a veritable JDM enthusiast, no less - is available to answer all questions via the Comments section below. Buyers should bid with complete confidence.

The 2002 Toyota MR2 Roadster, particularly in its striking black exterior with a Burgundy convertible roof, remains an icon in the world of compact sports cars.
