Ok another meet at the Tower Arms in North Weald. (might be South Weald, Paul will put me straight soon). I know how to get there, just don't know where it actually is ( don't try the Apple iOS maps, it might not be there either).

1pm in the car park on Saturday 29th September.

Anyone and everyone welcome.
You can own any car you like, but you must be interested in Mk1 MR2's.

Cool, just checked wit the better half and we are good for the 29th. And yes it is SOUTH Weald. North Weald is nearer Epping, but also has a good pub with a big car park, maybe we can try that some time?

Cool! What MK1a have you got? Any pictures?

I am not sure i am able to make it Kate. I would love to come along and meet a few people for the first time but this weekend doesn't work well :-(

I may make it but if not, have fun!

Sure, Red 1985 Mk1a, I'm the second owner, 80K, completely original except exhaust and filter, I have every bit of paperwork and the car was ordered at the launch of the Mk1 at the British Motorshow.

The photos were taken in 2007 , the blue one has changed hands now but was owned by a chap called Ashley. Rare colour that and there is one very low mileage one floating around.

I try and not look at Mk1s which come up for sale, I have an awful habit of buying them. I had 6 a few years ago and have only just whittled that down to 3.

I'm in St Albans but the car is in Luton now.

Cheers

Ollie

It is indeed a rare colour. I had one a long time ago..it was always my favourite one. I also had a white MK1a, a Mica MK1b Tbar and a red MK1b tbar with black bumpers and side mouldings which looked pretty good as mods go.

If all goes to plan, i may have another blue MK1a like the one in the picture.

Good luck with your MK1a Ollie...would be great to see the progress on here. I live near stansted airport so will no doubt see you at a local meet one day.

Cheers

Cheers, I doubt they'll be progress reports on it, I'll just arrive in it one day, sideways. Damn I loved that car, so many memories!

Can do, means I will get a lie in.

Seems we have some interest for doing one but maybe in a month or so?

Am I correct in thinking that no one (other than us 2) has actually said yes...? Shame, but if no one else pipes up before tomorrow let's postpone

I'm buying another car in 3 weeks so no unscheduled trips out in my '2 are planned as I'm starting a new job in a fortnight and no extra mileage can take place due to the reliability until a backup car is sourced. The car will be sorn in january and rebuilt ready for JAE 2013.

Ok officially cancelled due to lack of interest although always pleasure to see Paul and Mrs Paul. I will sort another one unless someone else wants to.
