Very interesting article from US company Hagerty, all about MR2 SW 20's even though US models were slightly different to our Australian cars.

Pop-up headlights at the front, T-top roof in the middle, and a big, sweeping wing at the back. When it comes to ’90s sports car charm, you can’t do much better than the second-generation MR2. The SW20 as it’s commonly known, or MKII more familiarly, is a product of a simpler sports-car era. This mid-engine featherweight gets by without traction control, ABS, or power steering. Full disclosure: I own a 1991 SW20, and in my eyes, simpler is most definitely better.

The MKII was introduced in 1990 for the 1991 model year, replacing the venerable first-gen MR2. Commonly called the AW11, that early MR2 (MidShip Rear-drive 2-seater) was a wedgy and quirky take on the affordable sports car theme. The second-gen smoothed off the edges, bringing a vastly more modern look to the table. (More modern for 1990, anyway.)
