FOR SALE DUE TO BEREAVEMENT: STUNNING 1989 Toyota MR2 Mk1 T-Bar, 87,000 miles,

Well I already ragged 2 to death when I was younger and moved on to much faster stuff so it only feels nippy to me anyway :) There is nowhere to drive it properly here as I live on the side of a mountain with unnamed roads. It will get used once a fortnight :) Anyways I am back from having it inspected and except for the door sills it is the best one they have ever seen, so a great buy afterall. :) :) :)

I've got the bigger version of the MR2 which I redline on the Motorway if nobody is looking :)

I don't believe in people paying silly money for cars if they aren't going to be driven properly. Its unbecoming of an mr2 fan in my opinion as these cars were made to be driven hard to the redline round corners - not sitting in someone's garage never been used.

I've covered 131k in 6 years, been through 3 engines, 2 gearboxes, 4 clutches and some bodywork - wouldn't get that same experience sitting in a garage, knocking one out over how good the car looks.

You sound about 13 there. Maybe take some advanced driving lessons so that you don't wreck them? Or get something that can cope with how fast you want to go? I never got more than 135 out of the MR2 which is kind of lame by modern standards.

The 'bullet proof' 4AGE engine doesn't exist - having a corroded block with an engine bought from a reputable firm and an oil blockage is nothing to do with my driving habits.

I am however finishing off an engine which can cope with the rigors I put it through.

Nowhere to drive it properly, as you live on the side of a mountain - sounds like a good place to be!

Fake!

Ha only joking. Great to see a true petrolhead join the club and it's great to see the Mk1 appealing across the board.

PS, I'll probably sound 13 as well but my Mk1 is faster than your Fezza, up to 100mph anyway!

Alex, I've yet to blow up a 4AGE yet, and I've had a few as you know!

Cheers Charged, believe it or not the MR2 is like a detuned version. Really is a Mini Me :)

You'd like the quad track. It's deadly :)

Hahah I just want pretend I'm back in the 80s in mine. Might put some Duran on the tape deck :)

TOTALLY! Crazy exotic from Toyota. Still traumatised by the first posters I saw of the MK2 :) The MK1 had (has) it all.
