Just joined the Club a few days ago. I have been a member of the MR2 OC and the IMOC for about 18 months.
Had a MK1 about 10 years ago and always said I would have another at some time.
I bought my MK1 in Nov 2007. 1989 T-Bar, Red with leather interior. I paid £3000 for it ( Sounds a lot, but it is in fantastic condition )
The car had 1 owner from new with only 39,000 miles on clock. Always garaged, FSH, loads of bills, MOT'S etc. Also had the T-Bar shades and the bags. Really clean car, no welding ever been done and only a bit of a touch up on 1 arch.
I have done a few bits on it....Stainless exhaust, Filter, JIMI Bracket and Woodsport Choke Conversion ( Highly recommended ) Silicone hoses, New plugs and leads,Changed the headlights for upgraded ones from a place in the U.S and fitted clear lenses. Serviced it and replaced the coolant.
Used as my everyday transport and has never let me down.
Can't wait for the sun to come out again so I can get the roof out.
Looking forward to seeing some of you at events this year.
I will post some pics when I get round to taking some.
Congratulations on a Great site.
