5th MR2: 1989 SC (August 2002):
This MR2 was
sold in 2009
The Super Edition represents the
final evolution of the MK1 MR2. Introduced in January 1989 exclusively for
the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM), the ‘SUPER EDITION’ included all
the extras of the G-Limited models along with the following extra
features: MOMO Steering Wheel, MOMO Gearknob, Recaro ‘Milano’ Seats
with matching door panels and special paint (Midnight Blue) along with the
associated decals. Only 270 Super Edition MK1s where made before
production ceased in December 1989 to make way for the new revised model
(the ‘MK2’).
Differences between the G-Limited
Supercharger and a UK model of the same date include: Electric Retracting
Mirrors, Climate Control with Air-Conditioning, Mirrored 'diamond cut' Aluminium Wheels
and Mirrored T-Bar Panels. Other differences include revised rear light
clusters to accommodate the Japanese ‘square’ registration plate.
This particular car was
purchased in 2002 after seeing it at a local car show, it's in excellent
condition with a few minor faults that need to be attended to. It came
with the aftermarket Momo wheels shown in the pictures, they are not quite
the correct offset but look fantastic on the car.
