Cheap UK REV 2

[budd]

I have for sale a 1992 Toyota MR2 it's a N/A 2.0 litre manual, UK REV2 in met blue with full MOT, sorry no tax at this price, I won't bother listing all the details if anyone is interested in it PM me for more info pics etc, I will say is it's just been serviced (inc brake overhaul)and is a tidy little car for 20yrs old and would make a nice runabout for someone.
Looking for £700 OVNO :thumbup:

BTW the car is in Yorkshire also I'd consider a PX for a MOT fail or damaged tin top REV 3 N/A

Your probably right so here’s a bit more info.
I bought this car as the basis for a race car (Nippon Challenge GT200 and MR2 Championship) to replace my Subaru Cup Impreza car (now sold), I mentioned to a pal in the motor trade that I was looking for a cheap MR2, I the mean time I looked a several cars all of which were either to much money or way to rotten, anyway my mate ring me and said he’d found a car I may be interested in, it had been stood in a barn for 4 yrs so no tax or test but I was told it was it was solid, started and drove OK so I bought it unseen, and when I first saw it I was pleasantly surprised it was indeed a tidy little car, then realised I'd made a basic mistake.

I’d bought a low powered REV 2 car when what I needed was the more powerful REV 3,(race regs don't allow any engine mods so you've got to start with the higher output car) DOH!! , my initial thoughts were to break the car and recover it’s cost, but on inspecting it I found a nice genuine little car to good really to be broken, so I decided to MOT it and sell it.
So it’s had a full service inc full brake strip and rebuild with new rear pads, the only real issue was a sticking, uneven force handbrake (the brake rebuild sorted that out).
Wheels are 16” BK lightweight alloys, tyres are 205 front 225 rear, it’s de-catted and as a pair of GRP side skirt/sill covers, these appear to have been fitted to cover the repaired sills, I’m not a big fan of bodykits but these are quite nice and seem to be reasonably well fitted and suit the car.
The car as done 129K comes with 2 keys, doc wallet with original paper work and some history.
It’s finished in pale met blue and while it’s rust free there are some age related blemishes and a couple of ‘shopping trolley’ dings but considering it’s 20 yrs old it’s not bad at all, the interior is very clean with no rips or tears, it as the premium (active) sound system with a Sony head unit, 10 disc changer and steering mounted remote, (the stereo isn’t fitted but comes with all the correct autolead patch leads to adapt it to the OE active system)
Everything works and all in all it’s a tidy little car with all the usual problems (rotted sills and dodgy brakes) already dealt with so it’s ready to give yrs more driving pleasure.
I’m still looking for a REV 3 (170hp) car for racing next year so I’d be quite happy to PX for a MOT fail or damaged car ideally a tin top, no T’bars (the cage doesn’t fit!!)
I’ll take some more pics tomorrow

Update Well I've had enough of this car, it was booked in for MOT today and it didn't even make it up the road to the test centre,all it's warning lights are on, engine compartment temp, MIL, battery ,brakes pretty much all of them expcept the oil pressure light plus the temp gauge isn't working !!! so I'm throwing in the towel, even MR2's even with MOT appear to be all but worthless so I think I'm wasting my time with this hateful little car so it's going to be broken for spares and I',m going to enjoy pulling it to pieces
