For sale: a 1987 Toyota MR2 T-bar, manual 2-seater sports car.

Mileage: 88,xxx.

Location: Palo Alto, CA.

Condition: very good.


The car is in great working order - it has a few small cosmetic defects, but it runs beautifully, and just passed it’s CA smog test.  It’s a fun, sporty car to drive - it clings to the road like a limpet.  Gets good gas mileage (EPA-rated as 26 city/32 highway).  I’ve owned this since it was new, and it’s served me well, but I’m buying a new convertible, so sadly I need to let it go.


Clean title; one non-smoking owner. VIN JT2AW15J4H01200754.  Classic first-generation MR2 model AW11.


EXTERIOR

- Original “super white” paint in great condition except for some small dents in the back left panel resulting from an interaction with a hedge.

- Original rear spoiler and T-bar roof (including storage bags).

- No sign of rust. No collisions/accidents - apart from that hedge.

- Original spare tire, that has never been used.

- Power windows, door locks, mirrors.

- Aluminum alloy wheels.


INTERIOR

- Original blue cloth interior with “performance interior package” and floor mats. Still in great condition.

- New Toyota shift boot and trim.

- New Sony CD/radio.

- There’s a couple of places where sunlight caused the plastic to get brittle, and suffer some cosmetic damage: (1) the cover for the mechanisms in the T-bar tops; (2) two small slits on the dash; (3) the surround or the rightmost dash air vent.  None impair functionality.

- Steering wheel has a leather cover added; the original underneath is a little rough.

- Cruise control.

- A/C and heater work great.


ENGINE

- Stock original engine: 4cyl 1.6L 16 valve dual overhead twin cam; not turbo-charged.

- 5 speed manual engine

No check engine lights! Its a healthy engine with no issues.

- Newish battery; recently-replaced brake master cylinder.

- Regular maintenance and service carried out as per Toyota guidelines. I have all the maintenance records if you want them.


EXTRAS (all included)

- a custom fitted car cover

- Toyota maintenance and electrical manuals

- tire chains (almost never used).

I found several MR2s listed for about $6000, so I’m looking for $5400 obo.

Watch Congress sample Toyota's i-Road 3-wheeler concept

Fri, 11 Apr 2014

Toyota brought its new i-Road, a three-wheeled, all-electric low-speed vehicle that debuted in 2013 at the Geneva Motor Show, to the Capitol for some of our elected officials to test out. As easy as it is to forget that politicians are people, too, it was refreshing to see a human side to many of them as they zipped about one of the Capitol's many meeting rooms.
We'd say their reactions were surprisingly positive. Of course, some were just down there because Toyota is a big presence in their respective districts, but the bulk of the senators and representatives seemed like they just wanted to zip about the makeshift indoor course on the leaning trike.
Take a look below at the video from Bloomberg.

Supra successor may be all-electric sourced from Tesla; MR2 returning too?

Wed, 14 Nov 2012

Rumors of a revival of the Toyota Supra and MR2 have been swirling for years right up until just this week when high-level Toyota employees all but confirmed their return.
But now The Detroit Bureau has put together news from different sources suggesting that the next Supra might be all electric. The report cites recent comments from Toyota senior executives hinting at plans to work with Tesla on a new joint project. The FT-HS Concept (shown above) seems a logical inspiration for a new Supra.
And on the other side of the equation is Tesla's design chief Franz von Holzhausen who was quoted last year saying his company was looking at its next project, probably a sports car, that would follow next year's intro of the Model X. He went on to suggest the car would compete directly with BMW's 3 Series, which, in coupe form, could be a worthy competitor to a Supra as well.

Dubai claims debut of Toyota GT86 sedan concept

Sun, 03 Nov 2013

Typically, when the organizers of an auto show reveal that a new car will debut at their show, we take notice. But this particular claim from the Dubai International Motor Show ought to be taken with a grain of salt.
As our compatriots at AutoGuide discovered, the Facebook page for the Emirates auto expo includes a post with an interesting claim: that a sedan based on the Toyota GT86 (known in the US as the Scion FR-S) will debut at the show. The Facebook post is accompanied by the image above, purporting to show the concept in question.
The strange part is that the organizers claim the four-door GT86 concept will make its "regional unveil" at the Dubai show, which would seem to indicate that the concept in question would make its international debut at an earlier show. Considering that the doors open in Dubai on Tuesday, that seems increasingly unlikely. All of this begs the question, If this isn't actually a four-door GT86, what might it be?
