MR2 Only Magazine – Issue 3

£5.00

IN ISSUE: 3 We’ve followed the mythical beast, the SARD MC8 90’s homolagation model of the MC8R Race car on Instagram since it reappeared on the roads of Japan some years ago. We were excited after several times reaching out to the owner that he replied to our questions and sent us photos, so you could say its an exciting exclusive. It’s an honour to feature this rare ‘Unicorn MR2’ a true piece of motorsport heritage, and it is testament to the owner that he enjoys driving it and taking it to meets for all to see rather than hiding it away in a private collection.

We’ve followed the mythical beast, the SARD MC8 90’s homolagation model of the MC8R Race car on Instagram since it reappeared on the roads of Japan some years ago. We were excited after several times reaching out to the owner that he replied to our questions and sent us photos, so you could say its an exciting exclusive. It’s an honour to feature this rare ‘Unicorn MR2’ a true piece of motorsport heritage, and it is testament to the owner that he enjoys driving it and taking it to meets for all to see rather than hiding it away in a private collection.

Also featured is a stunning 91 Gen 4 Swap Turbo owned by Johne Santos, one of our favourite SW20s on the scene, excellently executed with stance and amazing attention to detail, and it’s a great story.
