Just bought this 1988 MR2 N/A. Apx. 31K original miles on her. All original including the tape deck. :wink: The color is called "orange pearl mica" which seems to change color in different lighting. It is more red than anything. I bought it from the second owner, who bought it in 1989 and it basically sat. No stories, no accidents. I was afraid to drive her home, so I had it shipped just to be safe. It had never had anything done to it except oil changes! I just had the timing belt and water pump changed, a full coolant system flush, new tires (flat spots), a new muffler (had a couple of holes in the lowest section of the muffler where moisture rusted it out). The fuel filter showed a little bit of rust, which was expected. We changed the spark plugs as well. All in all, it was in great shape aside from a few door dings in which my paintless dent repair guy removed. It needed paint attention as it had not been waxed in 23 years or so. It was always garaged. She is so quiet, you can't even hear it idle. Toyota had it for over a week to get it back up to snuff. The tech, who used to work on these when they were new was astounded. He inspected everything, and gave it a clean bill of health. He said it just needs one more thing...driven! :tongue:

}. It could use some snazzier wheels.
