GT, Black
(or blue), T-bar, low mileage, mint condition both mechanically and aesthetically.And we found this.

TBH, I didn't know what to expect
(nervous) before going to Bicester today, but all I can say is wow!.The car was in extremely good condition, I recently sold a 2004 Civic Type-R and I probably wouldn't be lying when I said the MR2 is in better condition!
(mind you the paint on Hondas is terrible 
).After pleasantly being suprised by the condition of it, I was anxious to have a drive
. Well, all I can say is - I'm never driving a Type-R again 
. Everything felt so tight and new, the steering was great, the boost had pretty much no lag (to my amazement!) - the supposedly hard ride on coilovers was amazingly forgiving!.I am bemused by the car as you can imagine
.Anyway, after swiftly handing over the money and sorting the paperwork etc.
We went on another tour to 3S Services to see James (a very nice chap!).James gave it a good eye over checking the mechanics
/ bodywork etc and took it for a spin down the locally carriageway. The impression I got is that he was suprised how together the car was, not only on the outside but mechanically aswell. He even said without even looking at the turbo, I can tell you it is in great condition! (praise the lord), he also found no evidence of previous mods etc, which he said was great.Well after a bit of chat etc.
We booked it in for a service / cambelt and a couple of minor things (inc turbo timer fitting) to be sorted in a couple of weeks time. James was most helpful and great at explaining things in english that would otherwise be 
.I might aswell mention that Luke at Sky insurance was an absolute pleasure to deal with aswell, I promptly told him all of the mods I could find and there was no extra cost
. (premium was £890 for 24yr/old 0 nc bonus). I'm certainly going to write some kind of email / mail to Sky and tell them about how nice it was dealing with Luke.We ended up paying
£5400 for the car, which to some might seem a little steep - but to me, it was an absolute bargain .So, for my first half day of owning an MR2, all I can say is
- anyone thinking of getting one, don't hang around! BUY!. Ours is a suprisingly very smooth drive which is just a joy even if the thing is 13 years old .I'll get some pictures up etc at some point, still deciding whether to rid of the wheels
(maybe some black 17's with chrome rim).Thanks for reading.
