It's an AW10 chassis as opposed to an AW11. Externally visually similar to the AW11 Mk1a however has a 1.5 litre engine and looking at the interior a spec I have never seen before if a little grey. This is also a tin top: no sunroof and no t-bar.

Spec wise it's a poverty spec Mk1 so pretty undesirable at the time with a 1500 carbed engine and zero mod cons. I'm not sure if they sold them in the UK but they're pretty rare from what I know due to them not selling well. I'm sure I'll be corrected if wrong but I think they were only sold in the first couple of years of the Mk1 being on the market. :-k

So desirable now as a 'curiosity/collectors car' because they're so uncommon.

Could you buy it & move it to your place ?

Could save a very rare car

Except that this one has a mk1b front end on it and a mk1b side vent...

Certainly an unusual car, hard to tell how much of it is original though.

Shell doesn't look bad, wonder why it's being broken, what's so wrong it can't pass an MOT? Floor might be rotted out.

I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.

AW10 = low spec 80BHP 1500cc engined vesrsion of MK1 MR2 was in production along side AW11 from SOP (start of production) right up until the end, not as some think an early fore runner to the 4AGE engined car, not sure why you would want an 80BHP MK1, rare for good reason its sh*** #-o [-(

This thread has not had the desired effect, rather than saving it I've just enquired about certain parts not normally found on a UK car :whistle:
