1999 Toyota MR2 GT | Durham

A 1999 Toyota MR2 GT, from the second-generation SW20 line of mid-engined sports coupés. Its curved, Ferrari-influenced profile earned it the nickname "baby Ferrari", and it is liked for its lively, rear-driven handling. This car is red with a black interior, a bold pairing that holds its own in frame. The 2.0-litre petrol engine sits behind the seats, which gives the body its low, compact proportions. It seats two, and the rounded coupé shape reads clearly in both close-ups and moving shots. That makes it a good fit for car photography, music videos, fashion and editorial shoots, and 1990s-set film and TV, where the shape does the work. Events can use it as a display car. A wedding couple or a birthday day out can have it as a distinctive feature car. It is based in Durham.
