Crazy.

When I was looking I sa a couple of dogs.

One had so blatantly been clocked also.

Best bet is do like I have done with my last 2 MR2's My current MK2 tubby and the MK1 I purchased a few weeks back.

best buy one from here, just wait till one turns up quite local. i was very close to importing one. but after buying one off here i saved probably £2000 and got a lot more for my money.

I have to say not all the cars for sale on here are great though. I've been to see a couple and they were far from perfect considering the asking price. The best thing is you can view the history of the car.

my old rev2 car with forged internals, hybrid turbo, 100% rust free body has been knocking about for sale and only reached £2300 on ebay, I'd have easily had it back if i had the space and money for a 2nd sports car.
