hi and welcome
i guess the first question would be how much money are you willing to spend ? then i am sure you will get some answers

[LeesaH]

Am going to look at 1990, black, t bar, on saturday and the guy is asking £850, but i reckon i could get it for less than that. Its done 90,000 miles, has had new cam belt, new brakes, new clutch, has some service history, 6 months tax and 9 months mot. Oh, and no leaks on t bar.

[Ayshe]

Thats a good price...seems cheap if you ask me!! Although I could be completely wrong!!!

Welcome by the way

[Ryan S]

Oh, and no leaks on t bar.

that's what everyone says!!!!!!

there is a fix you could do to it though!!!

it's in the knowledge base

I think it is fairly cheap, the guy who owns it is only selling it so he can get a newer one and i dont think he needs the money, seems an honest chap and he only lives round the corner from me so dont think he would take the risk of me having it if it was a duff! Will update you all after i have been to see it on Sat.
Oh, and by the way thanks for the welcomes

Took some time last night to read the info on what to look for when buying a 2 and now feel more confident in what i need to look out for
Cant wait to go and see it tomorrow, think i have well and truely caught the bug

[LeesaH]

Hi guys,
said i would update you all today after going to see the 2.
Have just got back and you are now speaking to the proud owner of her first mr2
The added bonus was selling my car to the guy who owned the 2, so have been to buy a car and come away with more money in my pocket than i left home with
Willpost some pics as soon as i figure out how to.
Yippeeeee

Nice one, looking forward to some pics, oh, and welcome to the site

[Scott Barton]

Pics added for ya Leesa.







Rev 1 G-Ltd in fine form from what i have heard. And only 90k as well. Not seen it in the flesh yet but from the pics i have seen and the description it sounds like a good find. Well done Leesa.

[Danthrax]

Looks pretty tidy

[LeesaH]

Hi guys,
well i went to pick up the new addition to my tribe today and have had a great day cleaning it and giving it a good polish. I think the guy at halfords thought i was starting a car valeting business the amount of stuff i bought! Cant wait to get out and about in it.
Will post some more pics asap

[HighwayStar]

Hey and welcome. Hope you enjoy the car and it stays good to you, as has been said it looks clean from those pics but get some more done and give us a proper look. Rev 1s are great cars and I reckon if the tin worm stays away you've got at least another 100k to come from it.

Am going to try and figure out how to get a photobucket account set up. So as soon as i have done that i will post some more pics up.
Have been out for a proper drive today, and have to admit that i am now well and truely hooked
