    MINT mk1a N/A Tintop auto

    This car belongs to a good friend of mine

    He has stuck it on ebay

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TOYOTA-MR2-MK1-AW ... 4cefbdc559

    MINT is not the world I would use I saw this car go through a major restoration and the workmansip carried out was second to none

    Its had all the welding done EVERYWHERE you could think of has been fixed and undersealed

    He has NOT asked me to put this on here but I felt the car merited attenion here.

    I have never seen another mk1a auto before in my life and I really am shocked that he is selling it

    If anyone here is serious Its well worth at least £2.5k its a show winner straight out the box MINT car

    His photo's do NOT do it justice the car has Superb original (mk1b) leather Ultra RARE JDM mk1a lights (never seen them in the flesh before)

    etc etc etc etc etc etc etc .

    Chris.

    Which lights are these? I can't see any unusual lights, unless I'm being blind...?

    Max the rear lights are slightly differant to UK standard lights they have this sort of round reflectors built in and the number plate board is completely differant

    US 1a models also got the circular reflector and 'ribbed' centre panel, only europe(i.e: us) didn't...

    Nicer than SC lights, for me...

    Chris.
    I've seen a white tin top auto before in a leicester meet about 4/5 years ago - i guess it could be this car, or there may be 2 in the country.
    I'd never heard of one before seeing that one.

    Its back on again at £2k

    He has gone mental

    He spent £6k on this car in the last 14 months

    He told me he don't need to sell but I think as he has just bought a place he might be needing the pennies
