I bought it from an IMOC member who i know loved it just as much as i do. To my knowledge it has only ever run stock boost on high grade fuel, and has always been serviced when needed, oil every 3000 miles etc. I have tonnes of history on the car since it was imported, and it passed its last MOT without a single advisory (due 07/07), taxed until Feb.


Im asking £3200 no offers. I know this is a little high for a rev1 but i think justified. I believe its worth a potential buyer spending a little extra on this compared to another for the peace of mind they would get from knowing the next few years will be totally trouble free.

More pics are available via email, so pm me if needed.

sorry dude but i can pick up a rev3 for that.

[Schooleydoo]

Cheers mate

I could buy a Ferrari for £5K, but i wouldnt

[platmatt8]

Sorry to be negative dude but i`m trying to be honest, in today`s car climate a car can have it`s value halved in 3 years, so a 16 year old car just isn`t gonna fetch 3,2k but good luck to ya you just wanna check the other for sale ad`s.

i payed £3500 for my rev1 a few months back because it was what i was after and the condition was second to none hold out mate ul find a buyer

If the work you have had done can be proven, that is a good price in my opinion, you should maybe be prepared to budge slightly in price, but only by a couple of hundred.
The other trouble is, it is not the best time to be selling a 2 seater sports car!

[Schooleydoo]

Thanks for that guys, was starting to feel a little nervous that i had made a mistake in spending as much as i did on the work. Im not in much of a rush to sell it, so can wait for the right person.

All work is proven with masses of paperwork from James at 3s

Bump with lots of new pics - http://www.ga-vehren.co.uk/MR2/index.html

looking real nice! Love the seats (but not so keen on the £1 coin badges you've attached)
Looks like a well sorted tubbie

Hope Carl doesnt mind me chipping in!

This used to be my car. I looked at about 20 Tubbys, including rev 3's for less money than this before buying this one as it was by far and away the best. With the work I had done (exhaust manifold helicoiled and 'hose from hell' replaced) plus the work Carl has had done on the car this should provide as trouble free motoring as you can get from an mr2 turbo.

Serviced while I had it with Silkolene & new filter every 3k!

It's a great car!!

[Quigonjay]

might take a while but i'd hold out for your asking price
looks worth the money and definately one i would be looking at if i was after a 2

[Schooleydoo]

Thanks John and others, its good to know others think its worth what im hoping to get

Got a few people interested and a guy wanting to swap for an MX5 turbo... its got me curious but im not sure...

[Charged]

Carl, sell it and buy an Mr2 Supercharger!

I dont know anything about MX5 Turbos, other than that they didn't come with turbos as standard which would be enough to put me off...
