I have for sale a bone-stock, unadulterated 1991 Toyota MR2 Turbo with 84k original miles on it. It's fully loaded e.g. 5-speed, Turbo, T-tops w/original t-top bags, Black leather interior, power windows, power locks, power mirrors, power windows, original AM/FM Radio with CD/Cassette, A/C, front and rear spoiler along with other standard equipment.

Unlike most other MR2's with leather interior, there are NO rips or tears in either seat and the tops do not leak. The car was originally from Canada so the speedometer is in Kilometers. (there's still the "Candian Yacht Club" sticker in the window from the previous owner). The original owner then moved to Florida where he traded it in at a dealership. I bought it from a Car Auction in Tampa, FL in November of 2007. I bought a one-way ticket to Tampa, paid $8000 cash for the car and drove it back to New York. It had 64,527 miles on it when I picked it up (103,846 km's) Since then, it's been garage kept and NEVER driven in snow and RARELY in wet weather . . only if I got caught in the rain while already out. In the 7 1/2 years that I've had it, I've only put 20,000 miles on it averaging not even 3000 miles each year. Mechanically, besides Oil Changes, I had to replace the igniter about a year after I got it, I had the cooling system flushed, the front left caliper was stuck at one point and one of the front fog lights needed a new bulb. I also put some Yokohoma AVS ES100's about 15,000 miles ago. .the fronts still look okay, the rears are about done. Other than that, it's been maintenance free and an awesome ride considering it's going on 25 years old and entering official "antique car" mileage.

The car starts right up and you can feel the power surge when the turbo kicks in. I always meant to "completely restore" the car e.g. new shocks, bushings, paint, re-finish the engine, etc., etc. but driving it was fun enough and I never really had the time to do it right and doubt I will any time in the near future :-(

The car is in beautiful shape save for the expected nicks and pebble spots on the front and natural slight fading of the paint which is original as far as I can tell. There is 1 RUST area on the lower quarter-panel on the passenger side at the base of the rear wheel well. . .apparently dirt/mud collected there and caused the oxidation. That's the only rust spot on the car. . .front trunk is spotless as is the rear trunk as well as everywhere else. Interior is also beautiful. 2 spots on the interior are a cracked ash tray lid and a scratch on the glove compartment door.

I hate to part with this car. . .it was really hard to find an MR2 Turbo that hadn't been messed with in any way and still had relatively low mileage ~ I kept looking on Ebay on and off for about 2 years and came across this one. . I actually set my bid as high as $10,000 and was surprised it went for only $8000. These cars are getting more and more rare as time goes by ~ I don't need to tell anyone who knows MR2's. . .if you're unfamiliar with the production and value of MR2's then you're most likely not looking at this auction.

I realize there are no good pictures of the interior or engine compartment or trunk. Can't find them on my computer right now. . will take some and get them up here in the next few days.

Sorry for the book. . .gonna miss this car. . .good luck and happy bidding!

Car and Driver shows off awesome 1960s ads

Fri, Sep 11 2015

Someone must have recently rediscovered the keys to the archives at Car and Driver, and the access has been put to good use. Following last month's fantastic look at automotive ads from the '50s, there's now a new gallery running from March 1960 through December 1969. This collection provides a great overview of a decade full of iconic cars. If you're a fan of Carroll Shelby, particularly his Mustangs, then there's a lot to love among this group. One ad from July 1965 aimed to sell the GT350, but with an ocean of text and a tiny picture, it probably could've used a once-over by Don Draper's team. By December '65, the copywriters ironed out the problems with a spot proclaiming boldly "Shelby GT350 is 'Son of Cobra.'" The company offered some great accessories, too. For those into European motoring, there's a humorous attempt to sell the Alfa Romeo Giulia as both a racecar and family hauler. Toyota also boasts about the winning record for the 2000GT. Among the best text comes from BMW for lines like: "What's BMW got? The most advanced high-performance engine in any production car, for a cruising speed of 100 mph." Of course, Volkswagen's famous "Lemon" ad for the Beetle also gets its due here. Separately, each of these ads is fascinating, but taken together they tell the story of a great decade of motoring. Go give them all a read at Car and Driver.
