    I'm with Tommy on this, I reckon the seller is bluffing and suggesting he's done things that you'd done on the the car Kris already.

    Anyway, what does it matter, you needed the money at the time so it's all immaterial.

    It was for a business venture or something Kris wasn't it? How is that going BTW?

    Maybe. Maybe not. We dont know, so shouldnt assume.

    Correct, I needed to release cash by selling the car, shares etc to use for deposits, legal fees etc. Well, we are both still employees at the firms we were at back then... the deal for business we thought we would buy didnt work out. There were problems with the accounts and the property, making it too risky for the lenders. It was a disappointing time.

    Ah, too bad Kris. You took a chance which was a brave thing but maybe next time it'll be okay? Time for another MR2 perhaps?

    Thanks Jonathan, it just wasnt meant to be. We are still watching for the right opportunity & every month that passes we are in a financially stronger position to make it happen, so I guess we just have to wait. Its no hardship, we both have jobs that provide a comfortable work/life balance. They are just a little, well, unchallenging.

    No, I dont think I'll be getting another mk1. The 1a was the MR2 I always wanted - so bought it, enjoyed it, improved it and then moved on.

    I still have an interest in them and do lurk here most days as made a lot of friends here, but there are other interesting* cars to try, and at the moment keeping my camper dry and running is proving enough of a time consumer / hobby

    Wow! I'll see you at Silverstone, but not Suzuka! I'll message you about meeting up.
