Me and mate from work were given a budget to go get company cars.
Bowled into Toyota and asked for 2 GT-T-Bars. Was told had a 6 month wait.
So we took 2 brand new Celica's
Would have been Ca. 1991


Edit: Picture massive and on it's head.

Tbh you we're better off with Celica's in '91 Nally. That vintage MR2 had only a 119bhp engine but more importantly had the first revision rear suspension that was more happy throwing you into the scenery than driving straight, it was this overly tail happy attribute that made Toyota revise the rear suspension tie bar pick up points, spring and damper rates, it was a bit nasty as was.

Nice. Always had a soft spot for mk2's. The revision 3 turbos imported from Japan gave pretty insane performance at the time.

That is very nice indeed and a good find by the looks of it

I am willing to be shot down and abused (no change there) but all I see is an, albeit low mileage, old Toyota. Not even a 'rice rocket'.
Never 'got' the MR2 thing TBH.

But, hey, ETTO! If it makes you happy John-boy good on ya!

Lovely

Never owned the MK2 but loved the MK1, wished I still had it.



Jumped to the MK3 and got rid after a few weeks, just didn't gel with it
