Sure it's not an anniversary edition? Not unknown for sellers to make names up!

Never heard of a MK2 super edition, and that looks pretty normal in the pics.

If i remember correctly there was a super edition avaiable in MK1 which had a super charger????

Badge says G limited, one of the lower spec'd versions I believe.

When i got my first MR2 there were a couple of Super Editions also for sale (for a lot more money), it seemed to be no more than a trim level, think of it as an MR2 Ghia. smile

Is it an import? I'm thinking, bulbous wing indicators and fat number plate. Steering fog lights - it'll be a miracle if they still work, but if they do, they're quite cool.

Neither are negative comments btw

Pop-ups rule.

ETA with 9" wide 16" rear rubber and a slight shock/spring upgrade (but no lowering, just refreshed it come MOT time), mine - a 1990 rev1 GT - was about as planted as its possible to get. I have never experienced more grip in any car. I was happy with the power until I had a go in a Turbo - those things are genuinely very quick.

They're sensitive to tyre choice - have a read around on the owners club websites about that.

If you're parking it outside, and it's a non-turbo with a simple slatted lid, invest a few quid in a turbo lid - they have louvres over the slats, stops the rain getting in and leaking directly on the alternator.

Don't worry if it gets dirty inside. Seats come out with 4 bolts, very easy access and not tricky at all. Best way to vacuum it smile

its a G-Limited which is basically "Jap import N/A" - its not a lower specced one as someone has suggested its just how they are. in fact jap import N/A's generally have a better spec than the UK model - most have climate control and leather. Think they all have retracting mirrors and steering fogs (but my MR2 knowledge is a bit faded)

it looks like a revision 1 to me, personally i'd hold out for a revision 2, same sort of spec but better brakes and lowered and revised suspension

I second this.

G-Limited is the Japanese NA, GT-S and the GT Japanese versions were turbo charged with the GT coming with 1/2 leather/alcantara interior. 'Super Edition' means nothing to me, I suspect it may be an after market sticker set.

The UK had the normal version (130bhp?) and the GT. The GT had a bit more power (175bhp?). Power output increased with the revisions. For example the Japanese GT-S/GT power output changed with Rev 3 (?) being the most powerful at something around 245bhp, the turbo versions had the option of an LSD.


Note: This is all from memory so the figures may be a little off.

The Rev1/2 as you've posted had a little less power and a little twitchier suspension setup. Most people will recommend a Rev3+. Having said that, if it's an exceptionally well kept Rev1 for that price, I'd have it. Love mine and you will love yours too. Some inspiration.
