Love that link - saw it on mr2.com. Skaughtto's photos put mine to shame (and I used to be quite happy with mine!!) His techniques (read them up on the mr2.com forum) are quite interesting!

Not sure if it's a great composition, but good action shot, my old car exiting Rivage at Spa in 2003 in a 4 wheel drift:

That picture does surprise me Neil

My car always seemed to ride quite flat with unmodded suspension

Clearly they compress & body roll a lot more than I thought

The Whiteline rear has made a big difference to the feel though

With stock suspension Peter, they roll loads. In fact they roll to the point of roll oversteer which is never a good thing. Still at least you've got the whiteline ARB on. Just the suspenders to do then.

Can't beat the ones from the original sales materials IMO, I'm sure some of you have them but I'll do some hi-res scans some time. In fact I was thinking of doing them as posters or canvasses on fleabay but don't want to fall foul of copyright. Question would be, would Toyota really be bothered 25 years later?

You need to check, so write to Toyota and ask. Given you are wanting to sell them for profit, I'm guessing they might mind.

I always thought the pictures of the mk1 in the 1985 Autocar roadtest were very well shot.

They managed to capture all its best angles and this isn't easy on a mk1 MR2. My mum bought a brand new black mk1 the same year and I can remember drooling over the pics in autocar.

I've always thought that a mk1 looks awesome from directly overhead. Always used to like looking down on Vix's from the upstairs window when it was parked out front.

One of my favourites (for obvious reasons) is this one from RRG11 earlier this year:

Mine is on the left, LeSpank's on the right.
And there are some ace ones around from the shoot with the Nato green mx5, here's a blog post I did with some in.
