A phone call later, met up with the owner this evening & its mine...
a MR2 GT, UK Car, 110k, FSH (Alot Main Dealer), no major problem, mint original Paintwork, no dents, dings or scratches, all previous MOT/Tax discs, loads of reciepts, money no object in the past, hardly covered 30k in the last 14 years, good tyres allround, nice leather interior...
A nice daily driver for me, the 5 can be a track slag now :)
HeHe! You nutter...:laugh:
what you like! :D great fun to drive and nice and reliable!
Some quick pics today...

Good find penfold my mate has a gt and has spent a bit modifying it to handle even better.
Anybody fancies doing a Gearbox swap in the near future... may drop the engine & do clutch, belts at the same time :)
Had one of these years ago.. Great fun!! Although if it's a rev1 (pre 92) you might want to find a 94-95 r3 in a scrappy and swap the rear suspension or it will land you backwards into the woods at 70 mph (I speak from experience) most of the R3s have a box with a LSD in as well and even better sell them for £50 (nice little upgrade)
You can do the cambelt in the car if you have little hands (isnt too bad) dont wanna drop the engine and box out unless you have a pit/lift as whole lot has to come out the bottom ..:sad2:Quote:

But if somebody make me a decent offer I will be tempted.

:coffee: :laugh:
Wow that didn't last long chris
:laugh: Chris you make me laugh, I have never known anyone to give up on cars so quick:laugh: Good luck with the sale
I wont sell it for anything near the asking price on ebay... Am hoping to sell off ebay & save fee's.
Short version of a long story, I was meant to stop teaching come the end of feb & my learner car was going... So I would have been left with the MR2 & the 5....
But got offered my learner car for another 7 months for 50% what I am paying now... So I took it, no way do I need 3 cars, so either the MR2 or 5 has to go.... & seeing how I have the bike carbs ready to go on the 5 the MR2 should go 1st & hopefully i wont loose any money... Maybe make a tiny profit... :)
GT-Trader springs to mind...!!:cooter:
Penfolds Pimp Machine :wasntme:
To be fair you're only slightly worse than me for buying cars.... then selling :ashamed:
:laugh:...i was gonna say that ric....:laugh::ashamed:;)Quote:
