I've just bought an MR2, same colour as this one below. The reason I wanted it was as much for the rare colour as anything else. I think it's stunning personally, I showed my brother and he said it was disgusting and only rare as it's horrible. I was surprised by that. What's the general consensus on this green? Nice or nasty. I thought it would carry a premium in terms of value compared to the same car in a more common blue or silver, would it? Also, what's the colour called?

This picture isn't the best, it looks better in the sunlight.

I love these ones.
Looks like you have a clean car there.  :-) :-) :-)

Even rarer to have the matching hardtop.

Nice plate!  Green is great if its what you like best.

I prefer silver, not just because it's the fastest colour, but partly!  LOL.
