I had a few minutes yesterday, so I did a rough calculation of colors by year for our facelift cars. I didn't calculate further back because the data would lose more accuracy. I took my database as the baseline. Notice I have more than 780 cars in my database and for 2003 there were no phantom grey cars. I think it would be accurate to say there were approximately XXX Black cars in 200X. There is no better data for our cars than my 2005 database. Have fun with the numbers.

I don't see any silver cars listed...

Aww, sad to see I can't find out how many 2000's are still kickin' around.

This isn't disaggregated by color, but thought I would include a nice end page from one of my MR2 Spyder books that might be relevant:

Here's a picture of the full page:

If this is true, which I'm not sure why it wouldn't be, there's 5 lucky people in the US that got a 2006 MR-S! Anyhow, @leepear hope this is helpful in some way.

Which book is this from?
I've been trying to find a book to read about Spyders besides just the service manual and this forum lol. Though there are tomes of information on here, it's nice to read long format once in a while.

The book on the right. It (Toyota MR2 Coupes and Spyders) was probably my favorite read among the three. The other two have some good stuff, but the content on the MR2 you probably know already by now.

I am assuming total exports are US plus all other Europe etc. First column is Japan only.. It this correct? Also, I ran the numbers to the end of production and did not see a US sale car with a 6 instead of the 5 in the vin number designating it as an 06 so I doubt this is correct.

I have 1 of 185 red Spyder produced in 2005. Can I say my car is rare
