    Hi all,

    I haven't actually got an MR2 yet but I've got my eye on a few and will start making some offers. I own another classic and seem to have caught the bug and I've wanted an MR2 for years. Why not eh? (wait don't answer that)

    Cheers,

    Brad

    Good luck with your search... needless to say if you haven't already read up on some of the brilliant buying guides.

    Hi guys. Looking for a red mk1B, would consider an A but they tend to be a bit more expensive. Red is my favourite colour on these but a light metallic blue would be nice also.

    As I'm 21 it would have to be a N/A 4A-GE as my insurance would be through the roof with a supercharged import.

    I'm not too fussed about the roof. I'd take a T top of a removable sunroof as long as they don't leak.

    Anyone know any good insurers for these for my age? ☺

    Im 21 aswell and having my MK1 on classic i got the best deal from adrian flux but had to knock them down quite a bit.
    Not sure how much the insurance woud go up for the SC as my daily is a 2.0 MK2 and isnt much different insurance cost wise to the mk1 when i was running it as daily. Problem with a SC is finding a decent one for a reasonable price.
    I would say if you find a nice 1a then go for that as they are a bit more uncommon than 1b's

    Thanks mate. I'll get a few quotes, see what happens. I've got an old Triumph too so I might be able to get multicar classic. Currently making offers for a red B sunroof model. If I can knock him down I think I'll have it.
