1986 Toyota MR2

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Introduced to the U.S. market for the 1985 model year, the MR2 was Toyota’s first production mid-engine vehicle, designed to deliver exotic-car handling at an attainable price. Its name, commonly interpreted as “Midship Runabout 2-seater,” reflected its unique layout, with the engine mounted behind the occupants and ahead of the rear axle.

For 1986, the MR2 continued to build on its nimble handling, thanks to its lightweight construction, fully independent suspension, and near-ideal weight distribution. Power came from a 1.6-liter DOHC 16-valve four-cylinder engine producing 112 horsepower, paired with either a five-speed manual or optional automatic transmission.

This example is finished in white paint over a black interior with aftermarket seat covers over stock seats. Features included the MR2's distinctive wedge-shaped styling, pop-up headlights, four-wheel disc brakes, reclining high-back bucket seats, and an AM/FM head unit with cassette player. The current owner installed 14" NA-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata wheels with Falken Sincera SN250 tires, a Momo Monte Carlo steering wheel, and dash speakers and also replaced the shift knob.
