A 1985 fixed-roof sunroof car painted in yellow with over 207,000 miles on the clock. It sports aftermarket wheels, and was originally painted silver. According to Japanese Nostalgic Car, it's the only car out of this collection that's been modified from stock.
A 1986 fixed-roof car with no sunroof painted in red, with around 140,000 miles on the odometer. It was apparently the owner's favorite out of the bunch, with regular visits to car shows and other events.
A 1987 targa model painted in white sporting just 80,500 miles. It sports the OEM three-spoke wheels and an automatic transmission.
A 1988 targa model also painted in white, and also equipped with an automatic transmission. This one sports phone dial wheels and a factory supercharged engine—the only car here that's not naturally aspirated. It has just 78,500 miles on the odometer.
A 1989 targa model painted in a lovely shade of sky blue, equipped with the five-speed manual transmission. This is the cleanest, lowest-mileage car of the bunch, with just 28,000 miles on the clock.

Owner replaced his collection with a single 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata with 10,000 miles on the clock.

What an odd story!

I had an 86 MR2 and selling it ended up being a huge regret of mine. I would love to have it back. If I was closer to Missouri I'd go pick one of these up...

maybe he got tired of them taking up a load of space or just trying to maintain them all...

anyway, i'm sure he loved the mr2's and i'm sure he loves the MUCH newer (30 years!!!) miata!
