- I am looking for a really good car in terms of bodywork and mechanicals - hoping to find a good nick supercharger for a fair price, although an NA car would be fine. Looking for low miles.- we've been exchanging pm's! I didn't know you could still import them. I've still got to ring the insurance company up and talk to them about using an import as an everyday car.....that could be funny!coanda wrote:Thanks,
I reckoned it was too expensive to import, what with cars costing £4K then say another £2K ship, pay tax and get on the road. Then when it arrives you've got to rectify things not right, if they exist. There's some paperwork and bit of delay involved in getting it over. I bought one there a couple of weeks ago. You may have to wait to get the right spec. at the right price ...and you'll be up against other bidders. As you know automatic cars aren't as easy to sell. Most sought after are tin top manuals with lsd. If you manage to get one at a good price you'll have funds for restoration. Last week a Super Edition manual was on ebay but a £2K bid didn't hit reserve ...so everyone lost interest. It closed with no futher bids at all. Maybe he'll re-list super edition.coanda wrote:Thanks I'll keep a look out on ebay then.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWAX:IT He's obviously keen to sell.....I'll try and get in touch with him. I am a little worried about the rust coming through on the roof though. That could mean its pretty nasty inside the roof - might be worth the price if it is ok everywhere else though..., glad to see your on the look for another one. The one I had off you has changed alot since getting back,had a full suspension rebuild and did a trackday at oulton park ,but needed more power so im putting a 3sgte in it as we speak(link below)http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/0703/ ... NEW%20MR2/.....new engine sounds good. Hopefully I'll see her up at coombe one day!kevin..in wrote:coanda wrote:Thanks I'll keep a look out on ebay then.
ebay ad.
maybe worth trying to contact him via ebay
just look at the rust stains on the mudflaps, But he has changed listing, I think a member from here or the mk1 club has looked at this car but it at the time the seller wanted nearer £4k for it and from what I was told it was worth no where near that amount SE or not, He has been trying to sell for months.(spares), Mk1b Mica blue T-bar Mar90, Mk1b Mica blue T-bar,full climate control,Jan90, 5 mk1's

That add is a bit miss leading IMO, He used to have it advertised as no rust
Hopefully I can obtain the blue one on the mr2mk1club site.coanda wrote:oukie wrote:kevin..in wrote:

Yeah, I think I'll be leaving this one.
(spares), Mk1b Mica blue T-bar Mar90, Mk1b Mica blue T-bar,full climate control,Jan90, 5 mk1's then underseal when you get it here, and no rusty bodywork for 5 years (estimate)cartledge_uk wrote:coanda wrote:Thanks,
Try the classic insurance companies, an imort supercharged AW11 doesnt cost that much than an N/a for me.
?( I literally sold my SC a month ago ), but got the renewal in this week anyway... just under £600, for 40 year old, limited mileage, full no claims, garaged, 3rd car etc... thats nearly double the previous years quote, and is thro an import specialist... 
. a little... !...don't mind the overall quote. The Porsche was £700 for me this year so hoping the price will be less than that!...they say they have a sliding risk scale from 11 to 99....the supercharger is 87!
