EPC shows no wood grain steering wheel. Thats why im questioning it. Also the white gauges smells aftermarket. Anniversary doesnt have rear emblem its just that a limited spring release in the UK had a grey one instead of the chrome which was the same color as the anniversary one.
The plastic sills are recessed for the scuff plates so they are flush and also lock them into position. Peronally a retro fit will look just thatas it will sit on the plastic with the ends sharp and no real lock down unless a double sided tape or glue is used |

What market is your EPC for?
This car is listed as a 10th Anniversary model and definitely has a woodgrain wheel. However, it's also listed as a 1996. The tenth anniversary cars were 1994s. Perhaps these models were the 10th anniversary of the car in the UK? Toyota MR2 GT T-Bar 10th Anniversary for sale, classic cars for sale uk Quote:

Yep, I'm quite sure that the 1996 cars with the woodgrain Momo wheel and engine lid badge are not the Japanese 10th Anniversary cars, rather they're UK 10th Anniversary cars.
Another '96, this time in blue. I believe all of the cars in Japan were grey. Toyota MR2 T-Bar 10th Anniversary Edition GT 16V (1996) on eBay, also, Toyota, Cars, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 23-Feb-08 20:51:13 GMT) Quote:

There's 2 roof rack versions I see for sale from time to time in Japan, one is for T-Top cars and one is for Hardtops and would work on sunroof cars as well.
I saw another style for sale in Germany a couple weeks ago that was definitely an OEM Toyota rack, but I'm not convinced it was designed for the MR2 as it was listed to be. That's not to say it definitely wasn't, though. |

There is no emblem for the trunk, however there is a gunmetal emblem for the front.
As far as a blue 10th Anniversary, nothing in my research has pointed to any other color than the silver with black interior in Japan. So I believe the blue is aftermarket if it is a 10th Anniversary car or UK version. |

Cant find anything on the EPC that points out wood grain steering wheels. In actual fact l believe that both cars are really an UK version of an anniversary made up with the spare parts from Toyota,
Why ? it would be easy for Toyota to get 250 cars add the wheels , sill panels and if a buyer wanted the steering wheel " it was a optional extra " put a engine lid badge and make it a special. They do it all around the world. They are not genuine JDM anniversaries as Toyota released them WHY the bilstein sticker is missing in both cars. That would have cost UK toyota too much with little chance to recover the added cost. Unless someone can give me the vin of either car to check they are only UK specials .Sure yes limited but not the genuine article |

I believe what you're referring to we call "Port Installed" options in Canada. I believe that sometimes Toyota Canada 'spruces up' an otherwise regularly optioned car with a few genuine accessories and stickers and calls it a "Value Added" model. Just something a little different.
Possibly what UK Toyota had done with these cars. I'd call them a Genuine 10th Anniversary model for the UK, if there was only 250 out there, they're somewhat rare in the scheme of things. The 10th Anniv. badge definitely looks like an Add-On, not something typical of Toyota design, IMO. Quote:

If I purchase and install the 10 anniversary items on a 95 mr2 in the states and painted it silver, it will wouldn't be a 10th anniversary mr2. |
