Mk1 MR2 needs MOT etc in South of UK, in France at moment, may need attention? Help
Hi, I have a 1985 mk1 I live in SW France and need to put it back UK registration, so it needs an MOT but possibly needs a bit of work to get it through? Anyone any ideas to assist me please if I get it over to the south coast by ferry, and any trustworthy garage who knows the Mk1, and a secure place to leave it if work needs doing, whilst I return to France, and return to collect it. I would appreciate any input please? The French do not recognise the homologation of this model so I cannot register it!!
Thanks a lot,
Cliff
Hi Lee, Many thanks for that, can you give me his email please? Is is possible please

Depending on how much work and what type of work, I usually take my MK1 to Kelsport Ltd in Ashford. Kelly is a MR2 specialist and knows the cars inside out. He rebuilds the 4AGE engines and is to a very high standard without costing the earth. He works near Ashford, Kent, so very easy from the tunnel. You can Google him and get his full details, but he is often not in the office as he is a one person operation, which is why he keeps his prices low.
He doesn't do welding, but I have a very good restoration welder nearby to Kelsport who is currently restoring my MK1.
Kind regards and best wishes for the New Year.

Hi Lee, Many thanks or that, very interesting, as I said I don't know of anybody in he south, and I have had my car in France for 7 years and trying to sort it out, but my wife has been very ill cancer 5 times so the car has been on the back burner! It is a shame because it is a lovely car, I need to get it looked at to see if anything needed then take it over to be sorted and then get it through the MOT! I need it to be kept safely whilst sorted then I could return to collect. If you have his email I would be obliged. Can you email me direct on cliffsylvia@gmail.com please!
Happy new year
Cliff
