MR2 MK1 wanted....

[jayg9877]

Hi,

I have previously been a member about 5/6years ago when I last had a MK1....I am now looking to get another one and re-kindle the magic! I have joined the club again to hopefully try and find a well looked after MK1 for a good and fair price.

If anyone can help that would be great...I'm in the Cheshire area and I will be attending Tatton park show but as it stands just as a paying spectator!! Hopefully that will change!!

Thanks

Jay

Hi Jay where abouts in the county are you? I'm near Chester. I've got a silver mk1b sunroof. Both rear arches have been welded. Loads of history. I've got loads of spares. New bushes to go on and I've recently put Pirelli p slot wheels on it with new tyres (still got the original tear drops). It's a d reg with 130,000. Interior is mint including new floor mats from T&N. Lives in the garage. Insurance have valued it at over £3k. I might be moving house to somewhere with no garage.

Hi Paul, thanks for getting in touch....I used to have a red one in fact i've had 2 red ones...never a white one....I'm in Warrington area...keep me posted :)

[jayg9877]

Hi Paul M, looks great! Sounds like it has been well looked after...has it a live MOT etc? I will have too think about £3k though....set myself a budget of no more than £2k-£2.5k....any pic of the inside at all? I'm in Warrington also so not far....Thanks for getting in touch, Jay

[paulmannion]

Hi Jay. I will get some interior pics for you. Yes. Live MoT. It is due in March and I'll be putting it back through. I've ran it through winter but knly used a handful of times and not when cold, grit and avoided rain.

[jayg9877]

Ok great thanks Paul...that would be much appreciated...Great news about the MOT also...rgds, Jay

[jayg9877]

Hi Bill, I was around when John Redmond was the organiser...is he still about?? I remember having a few chats at Tatton with you...Do you still have your white auto MK1??

Hi, Just re-advertised mine due to health probs. 1985 white 84K miles owned for 21 years, current MOT no advisories. I'm just outside Blackpool. PM me if interested please cliffsylvia@gmail.com

[paulmannion]

Jay, I've been having a think and I can't sell it! Sorry. At least not for less than 3k. I believe these cars are going to appreciate more in the next few years and I'd be stupid to sell it.

[superwhite90]

Jay, mine will be for sale in July if you can wait that long.

[jumpman33]

You've a good budget, if you're patient and find a realistic seller you should find yourself a pretty great example at that price.

[cchrysos]

Cliff car looks great in the pictures and is a pretty rare beast now being an unmodified MK1a. Some people dont like the black bumpered MK1a as much but i love them. They are likely to appreciate the most too in my opinion. There are very few MK1a cars left on the road by all accounts.

Just make sure you get rid of the horrible white paint on the wheels and paint them original silver again ;-)

[Clifford Hardman]

Hi, Yes a very original car unmodified, I got the car with those painted wheels. Cannot believe nobody wants to own her! As I say pm me anyone dis Zi am not a website person, silver surfer! Take care all.

[mk1 dal]

If i was in the market for buying a mk1 this would be the one i would buy very cool and rare mk1 A in white .

[cchrysos]

me too!

[andyroo104]

Me three!

[jayg9877]

Ok Paul that's fine no probs. Thanks for getting in touch though. Rgds, Jay

[mk1 dal]

I could always sell this girl to buy the 1A but it wont be cheap .

[MylesHSG]

The b is vastly superior than the a, the only thing you get is exclusivity, but the b is a rare car anyway.

[mk1 dal]

You wrong there mate the true A will kick the B ass and would have an A over a B any time .

[sTuArT]

Doesn't the A have weak brakes?

[cchrysos]

A is a much better car in my opinion. the brakes are not noticeably different. Both cars are worthy of brake upgrades anyway.
The other minor differences are very easy upgrades IF you want them.

Exclusivity is nice to have too :-)

[adamstanford]

I think the mk1 in any guise offers exclusivity. But I agree, the brakes are reasonably poor.

[AW11mike]

I once went for a drive with someone in a 1A, I was in front and stopped at traffic lights. My car stops very well. The 1A was skidding along the road behind me. Was funny :D

[Vistalite]

That was on auto trader and then didn't reach its reserve on eBay. Presumably you came to a deal after the end of the aucion?

Nice car, get out there and enjoy her.
