Re: MR2 Turbo T-Bar. After your thoughts. "Bradford"

Thanks for the info.

It has the right look that I'd like but just a shame it's being sold by someone with a bad reputation.

Think I'll keep looking :thumleft:

MR2 Turbo T-Bar. After your thoughts. "Bradford"

I understand that this guy isn't very popular on here. Should anything he sells be avoided at all costs!? I've done an MOT History check and it mentions the underside corroding and covered in a "substance". Do you think it's rusty and they've just undersealed over the top? http://www.ebay....

Re: MR2 fan looking to get another!!

Keep looking on here, eBay is hit and miss, worth discussing an eBay add if you find something you like. Some cars would have been on here before some may know it's history. Thanks shane34. I'd seen one on eBay last week and was so close to buying but thought I'd ask on here first. Turns out it may...

Re: MR2 fan looking to get another!!

Agreed, that is a tasty 2! Why'd you sell it? I had it as a second car and kept it at my parents. My Dad then bought his third car and there wasn't really room to keep mine. It also had some issues. I took it to a specialist in Lincoln to get their opinion on the engine as it wasn't running right. ...

Re: Any Thoughts on a 1 owner 31k Turbo?

£1100 sounds a lot for cambelt and brakes. Link to car? I was quoted £450 for the cambelt. £550 was for a full overhaul, discs, pads, calipers and brake lines. £140 if just the pads needed changing. I can't post a link yet as i haven't posted enough in the forum. If you search MR2 Turbo on eBay it'...

In my eyes would be a much more worthwhile buy :-k


Agreed!! That's a lot of car for the money being asked. Long way to travel though but the cost difference between that and the eBay one would no doubt be worth it.

Re: Any Thoughts on a 1 owner 31k Turbo?

it looks alright but its not cheap. if youre going to keep it for a few years its not that expensive. you need to know what they're selling for . not what they're advertised at. Thanks rgb. The plan would be to keep it for many years and just use as a summer car. My thoughts being that over the yea...

Re: Any Thoughts on a 1 owner 31k Turbo?

It is quite a lot of money for what it is, you will only end up wanting it to go faster, spending £1500 on mods only to wish you bought a rev 3 turbo. The chances are the brakes will be fine after a wee drive, if not callipers can be had second hand for £50 with them being a very easy diy job. Mile...

Any Thoughts on a 1 owner 31k Turbo?

I'm sure a few people on here have already spotted this on eBay (I can't post the URL). It's exactly what I'm looking for but just looking for some thoughts from experienced MR2 owners? I've spoken to the owner and know it needs a cambelt change. Also brake pads have been an MOT advisory since 2008....

MR2 fan looking to get another!!

Hi everyone. I'm Pete and I've owned two MR2 Turbo's in the past. The first one being a Black Tin Top GT-S (K941 DTM) and secondly a Red Turbo T-Bar (J640 WVN). I'm a member over on the MR2 Owners Club but this one seems more active so thought I'd join. I've got some photo's of my second MR2 but it ...
