Title: 'Toy' MR2s?
Post by: SombreroPeak on June 29, 2017, 21:02
Does anyone know if there's a 'toy' of a face-lift MR2? I've seen plenty of pfl but no others.

Tbf, I've seen a couple of facelifts by "Jada Toys" although they've got the full TTE bodykit on too.

I've been looking for an FL one too but could only find PFL. Oh well, it's close enough for my liking. Will paint it the right colour, add the plate and that'll be good enough for me. Would have been nice to get FL though.

I agree. I'll see about converting one...and if I can make a mod kit available. In my other guise casting and moulding is what we do...

I've been looking for a black Facelift model for over 10 years now & I've come to the conclusion that Facelift models were never made.........if you know different let us know.  Even when working in Mumbai in India I came across a great model shop with lots of MR2's but none of them were Facelift   s:( :( s:(

PFL was best I could ever find RHD was rare too

Same here. PFL by Autoart in 1:18 scale. I made copy of my license plates and equipped it with yellow seats - same as in my car. Even asked local scale model producer if he can prepare TTE bits in that scale- he could do that but costs were outstanding. Around 1300£ for exact copy of my car
