    Wanted: Mk1 in fair condition with Tax and Test.

    Hi all, I'm interested in buying my first mk1 MR2. I have seen many nice examples for sale, but they are a little too far for me to travel to.
    Im after one that i can drive away in with as much tax and MOT as possible. I understand the engines are very reliable but would prefer nothing over 130(ish)k. Bodywork is not a major issue, but i am by no means looking for a rot box which requires lots of welding.
    I guess what im looking for is jut a good, honest car that i can start driving right away.

    I'm looking to spend upto around £900, but may be able to stretch for the right car.

    Location: Worcestershire
    Contact: 07841677072.

    I've not used this forum before (first post infact!) but i assume i can recieve private messages from sellers?

    Thanks for looking, Ian.

    Hi Ian,

    When are you interested in buying? Mine will be up for sale in May/June after some remedial work has been carried out on it.

    I will have quite a few goodies included in the sale and the parts alone will be worth £1000 if I was to break it. The car would be for sale for £1500 with MOT til Feb 2013 and Tax til August 2012 - let me know if you are interested

    Super, as per the other thread (and Ian, just so there's some competition!) I'm also on the lookout for a good Mk1. At the top of my list: as structurally sound as possible. I don't want a major rust rescue project. After this my wishlist is: non t-bar, as little electrical stuff in it as possible and white.

    Still on the hunt. May be able to stretch a little more on price now for the right car.

    Hi Ian,

    Cheers

    The one on imoc looks bang on for the money, seat retrimming can cost £500+ alone! Good luck Ian.
