Toyota MR2 - Approx £3k

[Sc0tchland]

There's been a lot of chat recently of Toyota MR2's for sale on this forum, now I'm considering one for approx £3k give or take a grand or two..

Does anyone have any AT links for nice examples of them? I'm not really sure which model to go for etc? A/C appears to be an option?

Thank you!

Assuming mk3 mr2 aim for a facelift approx 53/ 04 year change over will have larger 16" back wheels, 6 gears not 5 and different lights (circles in rear lights). These are considered the more reliable engine as dont suffer the cat converter collapsing as much. They still suffwr rusty rear sub frames so check this from above in engine bay (bolt in part but still hassle and requires a geo re set and £200ish part). Otherwise they are great if dont need a boot.

Should get an average turbo for that

That one. Facelift, full leather, hard top and the very nice TTE exhaust. Decent colour too and it looks like it has heated seats too. (Switches in centre console, I'm pretty sure the window switches are in the doors).

With regard to the pre cat and early engines my view is its the same as the nikosil issues on bmw an jag engines from the late 90s, if the pre cats, piston rings were going to disintegrate they would have done so by now as most of these cars are 20years old with 100+k on them

No chance.

ETA: Maybe a Rev 1 but they're not worth having. Good Rev 3+ you're looking at 5k.

Send me a message and I will forward the details of mine.
It’s a 1998 t bar, this year it’s had cambelt, water pump, alternator, brakes and a full service.

I had it it storage for 3 years, used it this year, but need to sell as the garage will be getting demolished next year to make space for an extension.
