Our Take:
- Mid-Engine Marvel: The 1986 Toyota MR2 was a true pioneer in making mid-engine thrills accessible to the average enthusiast. At its heart, the MR2 houses a peppy 1.6-liter engine, delivering a driving experience comparable to slicing through the air with a razor’s precision, thanks to its nimble handling and lightweight chassis.
- Low Mileage Classic: Clocking just 65,555 miles, this MR2 is like finding a mint comic in your grandparent's attic. It's remarkable for a car that was likely someone's pride and joy back in the '80s, and most haven't aged nearly as gracefully—especially given it sat idle for over 15 years.
- California Dreamer: Having made long hauls from California to Washington and back, it's clear this MR2 has got the stamina of a seasoned road tripper. This also means a good portion of its life was probably spent cruising under the Californian sun—likely sparing it from the harsh East Coast winters that can really eat away at the bodywork.
- Nostalgic Touch: For those who appreciate a blast from the past, the original briefcase of cassette tapes offers a unique glimpse into the era. It's like popping in a Depeche Mode tape and time-traveling back to a simpler time when the MR2 was a cutting-edge piece of Japanese engineering.
