I've owned 3 mk2's. I finally drove a Mk1 a couple of weeks ago thanks to a friend from the internet. I wasn't disappointed. The engine is very fun to take through the revs and it feels light and nimble. He also says 350-400 to a tank is possible. Very tempting. Here's the car I drove.

Hi dan, looks nice, they used to be so common, a faded red one is sitting on a drive near a pals house, but guessing it's pretty rotten.

Had 3 MK1s, loved every one of them. Went back to MX5s in the end as theyre a little less work to drive and work maintain, but they dont stand out like the MR2s do!

I restored this one a few years ago. I've had 2 but this was the best looking.
Great cars prone to rust on the sills and arches, calipers sieze and so do alternators because water drips through the vents.
