Presented in Silver Haze with black leather trim, this low-mileage example of Toyota’s mid-engined roadster offers an appealing combination of tidy presentation and documented maintenance. The vendor informs us that the car starts, runs and drives, with the exterior showing well for its age and sitting on a set of upgraded black alloy wheels that complement its compact proportions. The roof fits and operates as expected, and the car retains its original Toyota badging and details.
The interior presents neatly in black leather, with only light wear to the driver’s bolster as visible in the photographs. The dashboard, switchgear and steering wheel appear cleanly kept, and the cabin maintains its original specification. The history pack includes the Toyota wallet with handbooks, a stamped service record containing numerous entries, and supporting invoices. Also pictured is the original 2002 purchase invoice, confirming the vehicle’s delivery specifications. An M.O.T. valid until November 2026 accompanies the car, with the odometer showing a notably modest 54,824 miles at the time of cataloguing.
Launched as a lightweight, mid-engined successor to Toyota’s popular earlier MR2s, the third-generation Roadster (W30) has become increasingly sought-after for its engaging handling, reliability and affordable running costs. Its balanced chassis, rev-hungry 1.8-litre engine and simple driver-focused layout have earned it a loyal following and rising appreciation among enthusiasts.
