REV 2 turbo tin-top in blue , K reg 1993
Just over a hundred thousand miles on the clock .
Very good looking original car inside and out .
12 months MOT , taxed till the end of October
Running standard boost (and always has done as far as i'm aware) the engine
doesn't smoke (cold or hot) and has never used a drop of oil .

We've had the car for 7 years , and it was imported in 1999 .

Got to sell the car because of family stuff (two seats just aint enough no more)
and will be sad to see it go .
It must be sold within 2 to 3 weeks or it will be part exchanged when we get
our new car (another TOYOTA )

We are near Chester

Aftermarket analouge boost gauge (hidden in center box)

Speed derestricted , converted 180 MPH speedo

Interior is standard , NO screw holes in dash from phone chargers , sat-nav etc.
Cloth seats with no rips , CD payer . Small hole in drivers side carpet
(high heels ) under mat .

Regular synthetic oil/filter changes


One of the metal coolant pipes that runs underneath the car has a crack in it
and leaks a small amount coolant , I just top it up every couple of days but it
doesn't overheat . Easy to replace with rubber hose I believe .

Drivers side drive shaft oil seal leaks and throws gear oil onto the engine
which stinks a bit after a spirited drive .

Suspension has the usual knocks and rattles asossiated with an MR2 of its age
, but no weird handling or tyre wear . New bush kit , drop links etc should
bring the ride back to 'as new' .

Can't think of anything else at the moment .

2 weeks before it's PXed .

Fred, Where are you located?

[BarryJ]

It says "we are near Chester" towards the end of his second posting

[Fred]

That's right , about 10 miles from Chester just off the A55 .

Just one week to go before the car WILL be part exchanged , get it while you can .

[Fred]

Oh well .....

Today I said my last farewells to the 'Toy' , a sad moment in my life as the car had given me some serious thrills and taught me alot about driving .
Reeespec' !.

Anyway , PXed the car (K568 OCA) against a Corolla Sport for £2200 , fair price I thought .
The sales guy said it will be in auction Friday (24/08/2007) somewhere near Cannock .

Just thought I'd give the community the headsup .

Thanks to the forum members for their help and information .

Cheers , fred .
