Looking to buy a mk1

Post by Hoppo »

I am looking to buy a mk1 mr2. Not looking to spend more than £1500 but would like a well cared for, reliable car for weekend use. Ideal colour would be red but white would be fine. Looked at a couple of cars so far and both had some bad tarting up done - not what I am after. Anything out there within a 60 mile radius of Derby

Welcome to the club.

Could be worth keeping this with you for all the point to look out for:

MK1's are getting on now and do suffer badly from rust so make sure you check every area. A rusty floor is a pain because it's difficult to repair.

Good luck!
