I you haven't driven a V6 before, then you'll love the low-down torque,
from less than 2,000 revs.
It's been on track 5 times at Elvington, OultonPark
(drift day), Donington, Silverstone and Goodwood, and it is just greatsqueezing the throttle to the floor out of an apex when the wonderful sound
of the ACIS kicks in at about 4000 revs!
I view it as a 70/30% road/track car.3-4 years ago, when I was working away from home in Derbyshire I
bought a green NA MR2, which I kept at home in Brighton.
I liked the NA so much, I bought a red MR2 V6 which I kept in Derbyshire,
and I caught the train between the Derbyshire and Sussex homes/MR2s.
I'm based just in Brighton now, which means both cars are under used, I
think I did less than 5k miles across the 2 of them in the last year,
so the V6 is for sale.
As it was Paul Wood's V6 Demonstrator, it's a solid car, as you'd expect,
and it's a good driver's car, but cosmetically it's not great, it's fine
from across a road but when you get near you can see I've scraped the
paintwork, and it has various cosmetic issues
/ dings, rattles.The clutch has less than 5k on it, and it comes with one of Rhon's gaiters
that I never quite got round to getting fitted.
It has a Cat1 alarm, and ithas a small Momo wheel.
It has some kind of fancy Antipasto or somesuchspoiler and I think sideskirts
/ back end trim stuff / splitter (Charger/Toms??)but I've never been into cosmetics, so I'll let the photos speak
- I'll start withone and post more as soon as it's dry this weekend.
I took it in on Monday for its MOT and that now runs until December 2010,
with an advisory for a small exhaust blow.
The tax expires at the endof December 2010.
