    Thanks Paul - as my knowledge of mechanicals / welding is limited, the plan is to buy a honest club car that will be trouble free. So far all the classics I have owned have never let me down.

    I don't mind keeping on top of the work once it's at a very good standard because then all the items are routine & preventative maintenance.

    Chas enjoyed his test drive. Got to get him to get one of these not a boring Porche Boxter!

    Firstly – thank you Myles for letting me loose on your car

    My first impressions
    Oh my god…no power steering ! I cant remember cars were ever like that.
    Fantastic short shifter, so precise for a 30yr old car
    Good acceleration in 2nd and 3rd gears
    Awesome sounding exhaust
    Great visibility from drivers seat
    Very good handling when on the move, great suspension set up

    After the test drive I jumped back into my daily driver, an old Lexus 430 …and thought I was in a 4x4. I couldn’t believe how low the Mr2 was compared to a normal car. I had to recheck my seat and thought my wife must have been playing with my seat settings

    …A lot to like about the Mk1

    If you're ever up in East Yorkshire, let me know and I'll see if it ties in with when I'm over where my V6 is being kept for winter.
