Hello AW11 lovers?

Any way I have gone mental and i'm on a mission to find and import a Super edition from anywhere!

Please let me know if you have one and want to sell or know where one that needs love is hiding!

Keep an eye out on Yahoo Auctions. I've counted 3 SE's go up there in the last year. 2x were white ones, one was mint and the other was in average but perfectly restorable condition (still had the leather seats and momo wheel). The last one was blue and didn't have good enough shots to judge the condition, auction rating was 3 and it appeared to be in good condition.
Doubt you are going to find anyone on an MR2 enthuiast forum willing to sell their SE. You'd have better luck with someone who doesn't know what they are.

Be very careful with yahoo auction cars. There's often more than meets the eye & many have been inspected/deemed unroadworthy.
 
Did you reach out to importers like Iron Chef & or Prestige? I have visibility over Jap auctions (most) & decent AW11 still do appear.

Neither of those are Super Editions, but yeah agreed with Yahoo.
Actually I believe 2 out of 3 I have spotted were car auctions, not Yahoo.
 
Also notice Ace of Spades isn't in Aus, so our pre '89 rules don't apply. They still have a 25 year rule in place, and now that 89's are eligible, US is going gangbusters trying to import stuff like R32 GT-R's and rare cars like the Super Edition AW11's.

Yes, US & Canada are killing that market right now. There's been quite a few mint Rev3/4 SW20's find their way onto US shores.

Do your research, the Super Edition was a limited run for 88 and 89, not confirmed but likely were around 200 produced for each year.
In 88 they were a special white/gold two tone colour scheme, momo wheel and shift knob and half leather seats, but were otherwise the same as a G-Limited Super Charger model.
 
In 89 they did another run with a modified blue (standard was 8E3, Super Edition was 8E4) colour, but this time they also added Recaro LX style seats and matching door cards. The 89's were more desireable too since the '89 model AW11 came with a heap of goodies like Aero mirrors, mirrored targa tops, LED brake light on the spoiler.
