MR2 1600 sport U.K. spec

The Toyota MR2 MK1 UK spec. has to be one of the most satisfying cars I have ever had the pleasure of owning and driving. On the road the car is poised, with sharp steering that waits up very well under enthusiastic cornering, precise short throw gear change, near perfect 45/55 % front/rear wait distribution and a power full, mid mounted, transverse 1.6 liter 122 BHP engine.
