1994 MR2 Rev3 NA Tin Top, Cobra exhaust, polybushed, 4 wheel aligned, long mot

Post by bicycleshorts »

Car is in Northumberland.

Price: £1000

This is a tin-top model which means it's lighter than sunroof/t-bar and also more rigid.

The current spec is:
- Lightweight custom Cobra stainless steel race exhaust with Decat (fine for MOT due to age and import). Double exit, 3 inch tips I also have the standard backbox for quiet track days (e.g. Croft @ 88db).
- Powerflex polybushed all round.
- Front adjustable caster Tie rods (from a rev1, these are not standard!)
- Good condition standard rev3 wheels with tyres that have lots of tread left.
- 4 wheel alignment set up for "fast road use" by AK automotive
- Interior is in good condition.
- Clear sidelights

Servicing:
- Replaced alternator
- New rear discs and pads
- Replaced rear caliper
- Polybushing
- 4 wheel alignment
- Adjustable tie rods
- Replaced rear suspension arms
- Rust proofing on sills and arches

Spares:
- Standard exhaust

Other:
- 120000 miles but engine is still strong, most suspension components have been replaced over the years and are in good condition. Recent compression test showed 180 across all 4 cylinders.
- HPI clear
- 3 previous owners (I was told the 2nd previous owner was a lady who mainly did motorway miles when I bought it)
- Imported 2000
- 10 months MOT
- Tax till end of November

Drop me a message for further info/phone number (don't want to put it up on the web).

It currently has a private number plate (not included in sale) which I'll transfer off at sale.

Had some interest in this but nothing solid. Will listen to offers and happy to drive (within reason!) since it's MOT'd and Taxed.

Giving this one last bump before bits are coming off it (exhaust, wheels/tyres, ARBs, seat and adjustable tie rods) and it'll be sold stock locally.

Bump for new pics... I managed to wash and polish it before the rain came.

Just not get pictures ](*,) hence it's wet and in an underground car park.

I would put all the interior back in and you might find it selling quicker. Few people want a stripped out car.

Bucket seat out and carpet etc. back in. We've also rust proofed the sills.

Now a very capable NA, with a nice exhaust, 4 wheel alignment and fully polybushed.

Dah, it was in Edinburgh for the last 2 months! Lol

I'd suggest I send you lots of pics/discuss on phone and if you want it the train down is only a tenner? Nice drive back up as well on the A697!

Interior back in. It was given a thorough clean so looks great now.

Sills have also been rust proofed and painted.

Price dropped.

Last month of tax. After that it's coming back up to Edinburgh and being dry stored in my garage over winter.

If anyone's interested I can get the car up to Edinburgh before the tax runs out for a viewing.
