Yes but its not the 25th aniversay of A mk1 is it ?? surely its the 25th aniversay of the mk1 model as a whole, so why Kent & why other marks & why August the mk1 will be 25 in March 2010 ??. Jinxy

Just advertising the event as asked, also on IMOC!!!

If people are that curious then surely an email to them would be a good idea? would it not!!

Also when were they first manufactured/imported, not up on this and surely we can start celebrating now?

Deb, any excuse for a celebratory glass of Pinot eh

I think it is supposed to be a celebration of the launch of the MR2 as a marque, not just mk1s specifically, but rather its launch initially and its progression through the years

[waynestoyotamr2]

Yep, its the MR2's 25th birthday, not the MR2 Mk1 - remember the MR2DC cater for all 3 revisions of the MR2.

I'm sure we can do a MK1 mr2 launch 25th anniversary with more specifics in mind, but is good to get an invite from the DC to theirs

Oh Yeah definately, reading back through my posts it seems i did miss the point DOH !! , Jinx
