Seller's Notes

This Toyota MR2 Sonic Shadow Edition is a smart, restored example of the limited-edition the second-generation car, in a handsome factory colour scheme. It is powered by a mid-mounted 2.0-litre twin cam 16v inline-four producing around 163hp, driving the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. The car benefits from a recent major service just 20km prior to its sale, and is believed by the vendor to be the only Sonic Shadow Edition delivered to Australia. The second-generation ‘SW20’ MR2 followed on the success of the earlier car, and featured sleeker styling which was inspired by early ‘90s Italian sports cars. This example is painted in a handsome silver hue with a black roof, door mirrors and trim line, which extends the length of the side of the car. Inside, there are black leather seats, a black dashboard and black carpets. It rides on factory-fit 15-inch alloy wheels, with recent tyres that all have plenty of tread. Other features on this example include air conditioning, electric windows, electrically adjustable mirrors, and a factory CD and cassette player sound system. It is supplied with five years’ worth of servicing invoices from 2013 to 2018, and its factory jack and tool kit. There is no impact damage present on the bodywork. The silver paintwork is in excellent condition, having been recently restored. Inside, the cabin presents equally well, having also been the subject of extensive refurbishment with genuine Toyota parts. There is no significant wear, and the seats look genuinely pristine. The vendor reports a small scratch on the steering wheel. There are no known faults with the car, and no warning lights on the dashboard. The latest service was carried out at 208,534 km. The work comprised of an engine oil and filter change, and replacement of the spark plugs, timing belt and engine mounts. The vendor reports that prior to this service the car was not used for five years. This Toyota MR2 Sonic Shadow Edition is a freshly restored version of the popular ‘90s sports car, which is believed to be the only such version in Australia. Presented in excellent cosmetic and mechanical order, this car is ready to take to the road immediately, and would also make a fine acquisition to join any assembly of Japanese performance cars.
