In Toyota’s own catalogue
Toyota’s own listings name the colour (スーパーホワイトIII) but not the code, so they confirm the model offered it. These are the grades we checked:
- Toyota MR2 SW20 SW20Toyota’s used-car catalogue: MR2 GT (E-SW20), October 1989 to December 1991
Has a 043 car been resprayed?
- Find the model plate and read the code. On the manufacturer’s plate in the engine bay, usually on the bulkhead or a front strut top. It’s printed with the trim code as COLOR/TRIM (C/TR): in 040/FB20 the paint code is 040. If it says 043, the car left the factory in Super White III.
- Check the V5C. For Super White III it should say WHITE or CREAM. Add the paint code to our free check and we’ll compare it with the DVLA record for you.
- Check the auction sheet. It should describe the car as white and usually prints the code. A sheet that says one colour with a code for another means the car was painted before it was sold in Japan. Our auction sheet translator flags that.
- Look for the old colour where a respray rarely reaches: the engine bay, door shuts, inside the boot lid and fuel flap, and under rubber seals.
