Toyota MR2 Message Board - View Single Post - Blue MkIs with t-tops

Hi,

New here. I have owned three MkIs, all '85's. The first was white, and was stolen and stripped soon after I got it. The insurance bought me the nicest Red one, that I enjoyed for years until it was totaled, and me nearly with it. Then a brief time with a silver car that my wife managed to wreck.....

Now I am beginning the search for a fourth. There was only one other color in '85, and I like it.

What was the exact name of that metallic blue?

While I really prefer the lines of the first year car, with a minimum of ground effects and the black bumper sections, I want a t-top car.

What years did the t-top get painted the same blue, if at all?

I'm definitely interested in a silver-top or black-top swap, so a tired engine will not concern me. A clean body and interior would be more important to me.

I expect to need to keep my eyes open for over a year to find the right car, hopefully that would do it.
