Toyota Mr2 1984-97 Gold Portfolio

The original MR2 had flat panels and sharp edges and was not the prettiest of cars. But with its all-round MacPherson strut suspension it handled well and with a twin-cam 1.6-litre 16-valve engine developing 122bhp it was fast too. It was a sales success. Five years later the car was replaced by one with the same designation but the styling was more rounded. By now it had better performance and a choice of engines ranging from 119bhp to 158bhp versions of the 2-litre 16-valve twin-cam. Later came the 245bhp Turbo. This is a book of contemporary road and comparison tests, specification and technical data, new model introductions, driver's impressions, long-term tests, buying second hand.
