With the classic car market shifting towards Japanese youngtimers, it’s no surprise to see prices of good examples rise. One such classic on the upward trend is the Toyota MR2 Mk1.
Launched in 1984, the MR2 was designed to be an economical and fun 2-seat mid-engined car (Midship Runabout 2 Seat = MR2, geddit?). The result was an instant hit and epitomized the design trends of the ’80s with its angular design and popup headlights.
The MR2 was the perfect recipe for a fun car. It had little weight over the front end, which means its lack of power steering was less of a chore than you’d expect and resulted in excellent feedback from the front wheels. The handling itself was brilliant, with suspension developed with the help of Lotus engineer Roger Becker although the engine’s placement in the center meant it did keep keen drivers on their toes.
