Afternoon all,
Really, really have to shift my MR2 now - I've tried to hang on to it, but as ever, lack of storage means I've got to move it on.
1982 Toyota MR2 T-bar
Mileage is sub-110k (will check but remember it about 105k)
MOT til 29th August 2012
Tax til end of Jan
Location: Tadley, Hampshire
Price £500
PM me for number or email address - I''ll be happy to chat to pretty much anyone.
Basically, as you'll see in about 2 posts time - it's pretty rusty! However, importantly, the rust hasn't prevented it from getting through an MOT because it's almost 99% on the arches (small patch on sill welded back in March)
MOT required a new caliper (o/s/r) as the old one was seized, and I had to change the sidelight bulbs, but that was about it!
Good points:
Low miles
Alloys with decent tyres all round
Lowered suspension
Stainless mid-section and rear box (although...see bad bits)
Absolutely mechanically perfect - no leaks, loses no oil or water.
Recent coolant and thermostat change (I do this on virtually every car I buy!)
Remote central lock and alarm.
Bad:
Bodywork - obviously
Slight blow in downpipe - MOT advisory (but not fail). Would patch up fine.
Bodywork - did I say that?
Got a huge bundle of receipts etc to go with it. I've had it since Feb and blasted nearly 10k miles on it since. Not once did it ever breakdown or make me unhappy.
Will obviously answer any questions at all!
Cheers
