I bought this car last September from its previous owner in Crawley London,then drove it 488 miles to its new home in Fife Scotland with no problems whatsoever.During this journey it averaged 38mpg.It was purchased on impulse as a "winter project",however all its required is a service and a brake overhaul(new discs and pads)I have also fitted different 15" alloys,a new gear gaiter and a "jimi" bracket.
As can be seen in the photos the car is in stunning condition,there is no rust or mechanical issues whatsoever.The interior is also immaculate apart from a tiny mark on the drivers seat,it also comes with the sunroof blind. The previous owner fitted a reconditioned engine (approx 4000 miles) from an other crash damaged (front) MR2 in May 2009.As you would except this engine is 100% sound,does not smoke,no odd noises,does not use any oil,is very smooth but will rev easily to 7600 revs no problem.The gearbox is perfect(no 5th gear popout problems).
So if you are looking for a potential show winner or just a 100% reliable car for driving please contact me.I also have many more pictures, which I can e-mail to you.Reason for sale - nagging Wife(I already have an other MR2).
Car first registered 01/08/1987 - 5 previous owners.
MOT expiry date - 06/05/2011 134325 miles,now on 134399.
No tax - sorn,but will be sold with 6 months tax, if I receive an offer close to the asking price.
Please phone Peter 07869284487 or e-mail me at [email protected] .

engine replacement?
Not interested in buyin the car mate but was wondering where the replacement engine was sourced and are the cam covers red? only my car was written off last year around that time by my father and it had only covered 49k, if by some amazing chance it is my old engine i have all the history for the engine?

Not your engine Paul,as stated in the advert it is a reconditioned unit,which incidentally has now only done about 4000 miles.
Cheers
