Here for sale is my MR2 MK2 TRD replica, based on a revision 4

One of the best replica TRD's I've seen, complete in stunning 040 Super White 2, and one of the best fitting bodykits and finish.

![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(chassis/engine) has covered a total of 82k miles, which is a total average of 4300 miles per year.

This car pulls strong, and true.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Everything that it has needed in my ownership has been done, regardless of cost for the best that I could get.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
There isn't and rust on the sills, or the rear wheel arches.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
there's hardly even any surface rust on any of the underbody components
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(obviously being a 19 year old car any potential owner should expect a little surface rust though, but it is only a small amount of surface rust).
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
The car was imported in 2009, and I am the 3rd UK owner having had it for the previous 3 years.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
The first owner had the car for around a year
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(maybe a little more) and did very little mileage
The second owner
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(Fimmo
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- aka Barry Fimister) bought the car, and proceeded to fit the TRD kit and have the car fully sprayed in 2K car paint.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
He did very little miles in it during and after the tranformation, and kept it dry stored for most of his ownership
I've done around 11k miles since buying it in October 2013, but never on salted roads so the underneath is perfect.

The price I hear you ask.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
well, to build a car somewhere close to the same standard as this one, you would be looking at spending well into the
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
£25k+ price bracket, I know how much this one has cost to build.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
so, with that in mind, I think this one's worth every penny at
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
-
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
£11,000![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
ono
Please, please, please can I ask that there's no
'that's not worth that comments', I know how much it's worth, and that's where my price has come from.
