Hello all,

Just joined and would like to say Hello to all you like minded MR2 fans.

If anyone knows of an MR2 AW11 car available to be rescued and restored I'm looking for one as my next project.

I'm based in Essex so any leads for any sad poorly MR2s looking for a new lease of life then please feel welcome to contact myself 👍🏻
Speak soon,
Best regards, Dan.

Welcome to the club. I believe there are quite a few down your way that keep popping up on ebay every so often. Good luck with your future project

Shame you weren't around when I had a Mk1a needing love. It went for peanuts and is sadly now being raced, but was one of the earliest imported into the UK. I've got a MK1b sunroof for sale. 148K on the clock and needing TLC but otherwise pretty awesome.

Hi Martin,
Thanks for the kind words my friend....looking forward to pulling out my tig welder no doubt ��and bringing one of these little AW11's back to life.....my eBay account seems too only have AW11's being watched at the moment ����

Hi Mel,
I might well be interested in your MK1b sunroof car as I'm looking for a hard top AW11 and not the T Top version.
I'll pm you Mel with my email address so that if you have any pictures etc please feel welcome to send them along to me.....speak soon mate,
Dan.

Hi and welcome.

This looks like a bargain.
Rare factory black tbar with MOT but needing all the usual work.

Factory black is rare and sought after.
