Red '86 Mk1a for sale ( SOLD )

Post by MartG »

Reluctantly for sale ( need the space on my drive :roll: ) – 1986 MR2 Mk1a in Red

I bought the car off Jinxy & Crazylegs ( in their guise as T&K Spares ) last September as a daily driver while I worked on my other two Mk1s. The car had previously been dry stored for several years after suffering a headgasket failure which the then owner didn’t bother fixing, he just left the car in his garage. Jinxy and Kev then acquired the car and dropped in a replacement Mk1b redtop engine.

The car has now done just over 110K miles ( engine approx 80K ), has MOT until August 25th, tax to end of August and since buying it I’ve done the following to it:

Replaced the missing front lip spoiler
Replaced a snapped radio aerial
Fitted an OEM stereo from a Mk1b
Replaced the clock ( original had gone very dim )
Had 4 wheel laser alignment done
Replaced air filter with a K&N one in the original airbox
Replaced missing trim from top of passenger door card
Fixed passenger window switch
Fixed central locking from drivers side switch ( replaced faulty control box )
Replaced thermostat & flushed coolant
Replaced rad cap ( seals on original looked a bit manky )

Bodywork is in excellent condition, with only very minor bubbling below passenger rear quarter window to show for its 20 years ( see pic below ) – rear arches are fine. Interior is in excellent condition too, and even has the interior sunroof cover. Along with the car I’ll also throw in a full set of brand new brake disks I bought for it, as my other Mk1s are both 1bs so they won’t fit.

The only problem I’ve had with it was due to a faulty immobiliser, not the car itself.

Pics below are from when I bought it 4 months ago, so don’t show the lip spoiler fitted. I’ll try and get some updated pics taken this weekend edit more pics added

Looking for £1000 , located near Blackpool
