March 2007 MR2 Showcase

MR2Showcase · 03-06-2007, 07:25 PM

Congratulations to Turbo- - MR2Board's March 2007 Showcase MR2!
1992 MR2 Turbo

Click the below thumbnails for fullsize pictures:

To many of us, the allure of a beautiful MR2 lays in the fact that it is relatively uncommon. Although not at the same level as some of the most rare sports cars, the MR2 is far from a typical sight on the street, or at your local parkade. This couldn't be any more true for Hafsteinn Arnar of Iceland. Haffi owns the only known SW20 in his country. There was a naturally aspirated car that roamed the streets about 5 years ago, but unfortunately it met its fate, and now resides in a junkyard.

Haffi's car doesn't come without a story attached. It was purchased when he was 15 from a salvage auction in Iceland. The last MKII in the country was well on its way to spending the rest of its life in a junkyard also. The car had been nearly destroyed in a collision with a horse. This MR2 needed serious attention, and thankfully, Haffi and his father were willing to give it what it needed.

Feel free to check out the build progress of Turbo-'s beautiful MKII Turbo in -->THIS<-- thread, and check out some more recent pictures of the car in -->THIS<-- one.

Thanks to Turbo- for bringing a Turbo MR2 back from the dead, and doing such an amazing job of it!

Alone with the solitude of his desire, survival sense numbed by the speed, he's outrun the mediocrity of the outside world, slipped the shackles it tries to clamp on us all.
