Posh
The month has a vowel in it, so it's about time for me to change cars again.
Up for sale is my rather endearing Mk1 (AW11) Toyota MR2.
Details are as follows:
UK Model
1987 'F' Reg
Light metallic blue
1.6 TwinCam T-Bar model, for ultimate summer roof off fun.
102kish.
Black Leather interior
Electric windows and central locking.
MOT until July '09
Totally standard except for some hideously misguided 'carbon effect' gear knob monstrosity (On it when i got it)
This car has been my daily driver for the last 6 months, but i fancy something a little bigger. During those 6 months it's been brilliantly reliable, but that's what you expect with a Toyota.
I 'rescued' it from being in storage for several years (2 or 3, can't remember) after the owner emigrated and left it in his Parents' posession.
As a result I gave it a full service when i got it - the engine was flushed several times with decent oil, auxilliary belts were replaced, filters, sparks, etc were all done as well. Brakes were flushed and bled (If i recall correctly it has recently had the rear calipers refurbed as well)
Cambelt was done at circa 80k if i remember rightly, and I think the next interval is in 20 or 30 thousand miles, so no worries there.
Being only a 1.6 it's no rocketship, but it's a hugely enjoyable drive, and quick car point to point around the twisties - best steering feel of any car I've owned,
She'll happily return MPG's in the mid 30's - I got nearly 40 on a run a short while ago.
I believe that the rear arches are original, but the section behind the wheel (mudflap area) has been patched. There is some surface rust coming through on the arches though, but it's in the very early stages.
Only other bad points I can think of is that the driver's window is a bit tempremental, and the roof drips a little if not seated properly - new seals would probably be the answer and they're about 40 quid from Toyota.
Piccies:
I'm after £875, and I think that's a very fair price considering the mileage.
Car is located in Kenilworth, just south of Coventry. I'll get some more piccies up when I've given her a quick wash.
Thanks
Si
