Hi All

[shaun1967]

Hi all, ive just bought my 5th MR2 recently and joined the club. I have to say these cars are addictive!! My new red coupe requires a little tlc but apart from that all is in good nick for a car that will be 23yrs old in Aug, and the lowest mileage i have had showing just under 49,000 on the clock with all paperwork to prove.....fantastic

Hi Shaun
Wow, your 5th mr2! have they all been mk1s? where have you been all this time!

pretty low mileage for your red mk1 too. any pics?

[shaun1967]

All have been mk1's apart from one mk2, will post pics as soon as i upload them, unfortunately with my new one despite the low mileage it has had the horrible rustworm get to her, but not too bad though, tiny bit on n/s near mudflap and bottom of the front wing where it meets valance

Hello :wave:

Whereabouts are you based?

I am just about to get my 3rd Mk1 although my first one (a white t-Bar) had even lower mileage than yours when we go it. It had only 13,000 miles on it's clocks. :o

But it was in 1991 and it was only 18 months old. :oops:

Pictures please :+:

I live nr Ipswich and you? Am about to put pics on

[Kateg28]

I am in Herts (if you put it in your profile, it appears next to your pics). Am not sure who else we have near your area.

In any case, it is not too far away from some central meets.

Look forward to seeing the pictures.

There must be someone out that way - there's an East LAO and a Norfolk LAO!

Wow - that is a low miler!! How does the suspension and steering feel on something that low miles? I always wondered whether the age would cause similar 'wear' on those items as usage (in theory, it kinda should).

Welcome to the club! :+:

hi, the steering and suspension feel so precise, but even on a low miler it still has the dreaded metal worm :(

[shaun1967]
