VIN / Engine Number

This car is the only car built by Toyota as the prototype for the future "Bathurst specials". The chassis in this car later became the chassis in later models with larger rotors , stronger gearbox, LSD and longer trailing arms.. It won it's class (5th overall first N/A) at 1992 Bathurst 12 hr .Second in next years 12hr. Class winner in 1992 Winton 3 hr 1992 Sandown 6hr class winner 2 x Tasmania Targas and NZ Targa. Engineered and serviced by Bates Engineering before current owner bought it 2010.
Log booked. Koni suspension Motec, Very impressive Bates cage. Original engine rebuilt with forged pistons and conrods. Neoprene bushes. Originally built only for racetrack but retrofitted with compliance plates for Targa. It still has original 1998 Targa livery. Has been successfully racing Tasmanian tracks in the Tasmanian state series. Been raced by many well known drivers including Neil and Rick Bates, John Smith, Calvin Gardiner, Peter Whitaker. Its an incredibly reliable car that can do much better times than current owner. This would HAVE to be the MR2 with the biggest race history and being so rare being a prototype. I've loved racing this car. Handles incredibly well.
