Spotted last Saturday in Otahuhu. Not sure if this MR2 owner is on here or not.

David, does that one have gold wheels and rough paintwork? If so it may be the same one I saw, I get my WOF done out there by an old family friend.DravidDavid wrote:Spotted last Saturday in Otahuhu. Not sure if this MR2 owner is on here or not.

Average photo taken from my dashcam.
I see this pretty interesting widebody MR-S most days on my way to work.
I think it was on TradeMe a while back

Spotted a red turbo(?) SW20 today in Onehunga Mall.
T-top, black wing, black scoop on the left side (TOMs or TRD?), older guy driving with grey hair.. could be a club member.

Another cool SW20 spotted today at Pakuranga Auckland.
This one was grey, rev 1 (or later, with the 14"s fitted), t-top, and had Ferrari decals on each front fender. Surely a club member!
I'm the only guy in Auckland with L plates on an SW20, would be mint to see my car photographed on here, lol.

I hardly see these cars around Auckland at all. I've maybe seen a maximum of 10 or 12 since I've owned mine.
Total numbers of registered MR2s in NZ:
Heaps in 1990
TOYOTA MR2 1984 91
TOYOTA MR2 1985 93
TOYOTA MR2 1986 70
TOYOTA MR2 1987 67
TOYOTA MR2 1988 40
TOYOTA MR2 1989 64
TOYOTA MR2 1990 854
TOYOTA MR2 1991 354
TOYOTA MR2 1992 276
TOYOTA MR2 1993 96
TOYOTA MR2 1994 49
TOYOTA MR2 1995 11
TOYOTA MR2 1996 43
TOYOTA MR2 1997 16
TOYOTA MR2 1998 10
TOYOTA MR2 1999 10
TOYOTA MR2 2000 20
TOYOTA MR2 2001 21
TOYOTA MR2 2002 8
TOYOTA MR2 2003 7
TOYOTA MR2 S 39
Those are interesting stats. Is the year the year of manufacture or the year of first registration in NZ? Manufacturer stopped in 2007.
The 1990 number is kinda hard to swallow?

Saw a Red stock standard non-turbo SW20 parked in a disabled car park at KFC Westgate on Friday. I doubt a lot of disabled people drive these cars!
Come on man! You're better than that! He's lucky my smartphone is sitting on a repair techs desk at Samsung right now!

Revision 2 and later can't have 14's fitted as they don't clear the bigger brakes.Swampy wrote:Another cool SW20 spotted today at Pakuranga Auckland.

Thanks for the clarification Jason, tbh I don't think anyone would think the 14"s are cool enough to be fitted to a later model.rocco26 wrote:Will drive it down to Welling Town And your wish will be for filled .
I don't want my 2 getting spotted to be staged . I think it'd be cool to get on here doing something cheeky. Like... "Red MR2 spotted on K Road, owner was rubber necking into Calendar Girls at 20km/h"

It reminds me a lot of this American racing movie I once watched on Sky, they started out with Celicas in red-silver-black and then upgraded to GT86s in the same colour.
