I bought this car from Tommy (coverco) a couple of years ago http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/viewtopic. ... highlight= (http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=113547&highlight=) . I originally intended to swap the good bits onto mine and let my brother use it. However it just ended up sat on the drive!
The suspension and exhaust will be going on my 20v (if the exhaust fits of course..) But everything else can go or end up being weighed in.
Interior is good but some areas (eg door lever and cloth inserts which were red) have faded. It has a sunroof blind too which is a bonus! Ashtray is good and opens as it should too. Also the seat handles have been painted silver at some point, doesn't look too bad though. Few pics:

It also has an original spare which looks to me like it's never been used! There's no markings on the hub face to suggest this anyway. It has a Conti sport contact fitted which still has the line markings. Whether or not this is what was fitted at the factory I'm not sure. It isn't A1 perfect, has a couple of paint marks which will polish of and slight surface corrosion on the inner. Pics:

Engine, which I can only assume is the original, ran fine in the few times it has been moved, no blue smoke on startup. Wouldn't know about the gearbox other than 1st and reverse. Tommy assured me there was no 5th popout or anything. The clock reads 118k also. I don't have an engine lift at the moment so if anyone is interested I'll see what I can organise. Pic:

I also have a couple of sets of wheels. Some 15" Wolfrace Katana's. Tyres are fairly good, one of which is a different make. And some Smith ones which I'm not sure whether to keep, I wouldn't recommend the tyres as they've deteriorated since being stood. Pics:

It also has the original toolkit and jack
http://www.mr2mk1club.com/images/imported/2011/04/DSC01694-1.jpg
If there's anything else anyone wants then let me know. There's some things I will be keeping as spares for the 20v track car. I'm open to offers on everything else as it all has to go or ends up going the scrappy. It is pretty rotten so don't expect any mint panels etc.
