From there, it's
as you'd expect: a full history of each of the three generations of MR2, from the
wedgy 1980s model, though the Ferrari-esque and 1990s - curvy second - gen car, to its rebirth
as a lightweight model in the late 1990s, through the little - known MRJ prototype, 1997's MR - S concept (a name that stuck in the US and Japan) to the final production car in 1999.
The Elan's
wedgy styling
as long been an acquired taste but there's some visual interest here with the British Racing Green paint scheme and an oh - so - Lotus yellow stripe down the centreline of the car, while the cabin is more modern than those early MX - 5s and far more cossetting than that of the Elise that replaced the Elan in 1996.
