AUSTRALIAN MR2 SALES - 1987 to 2001
At the Qld AGM last Sunday, Walter read out numbers of MR2s currently registered in Qld. The numbers included "grey" imports. I have found a table listing the Australian delivered MR2s from 1987 (when AW11 first went on sale) until end of 2001. Hope you find this interesting? cheers Steve

I was about to ask "who's the lucky **** that owns the lone millennium SW20?" until the source revealed it was MANDALAY. MANDALAYIts confusing, see that last car in 2000 well thats mine 
Its really a revision 4 , the Beams is revision 5 which we didnt get.
I have the adjustable rear wing......So you have the previous wing ?
There could be other difference not sure compared to my car.
My modle even thou its N/A was speced with the turbo brake system bigger calipers.
Also the wheels are different.
Gee maybe the wiring could be different to mine dont know ? http://www.mr2.com/forums...;viewfull=1#post643190
 Go soothingly on the grease mud as there lurks a skid demon.

I've seen this table previously, some good info but just to clarify, the models listed are just the basic derivatives so they are not split by each individual model year. The years listed along the top are the year the car was sold and first registered in Australia, not necessarily the model year.
For example, AW11's were no longer built in 1990, so these would have likely been 89 builds sold/registered that year. Same goes for the SW20, 99 was the last production year, so Mandalay's car would be a 99 model first sold/registered in 2000.

I hope this is readable. Sales figures supplied by Toyota in October 2005. These figures represent only Australian delivered MR2s sold by Toyota.

COMPLIANT IMPORTS
Add to that figure 150 imports that were granted a compliance plates by the Federal Government and issued from a Western Australia and Queensland Organisations. It is generally thought that around double that number were actually issued. Most of these MR2s were Turbo models and a few were automatic.
15 YEAR RULE AS AT 2003
Most MR2s imported under the 15 year rule were AW11 NA and SC models. The actual number is not known, but thought to be around 300. More recently however, there have been a rash of imported SW20 mostly Turbos that were manufactured prior to July 1991, providing it was purchased prior to 7th February 2005. Payment evidence must be supplied. This can be done through some importers up to the end of 2005. This fifteen year rule is now finished. At present (2005) the fifteen year rule is now a seventeen year rule, and will remain at 1988 and older for at least the next thirteen years (2018) when it will become a thirty year rule.
PRIVATE IMPORTS
It is not known how many MR2s entered Australia under the private import rule, but the various State Branches are aware of a few. To qualify as a Private Import, the MR2 must have been owned by you for at least 12 months in an overseas country.
RE-BIRTHED MR2s
Believe it or not there have been a few re-birthed MR2. This is when an MR2 is imported and the VIN and Compliance Plate from a wrecked Aussie Delivered MR2 is swapped over. This practice is Illegal and should not be condoned.
UP_GRADE MR2s
Although not increasing the number of MR2s in Australia up-grades are out there. This is when an NA 1991 MR2 (for example) goes through a Turbo engine transplant. Spoiler and tail lights are up-dated to a 1999. When purchasing an MR2 be careful and check the compliance plate carefully.
