cool beans :) better get posting then ,,
its a 1992 2.l auto, its white and completely standard the man that owned it before me had never and i mean never washed it and he had dogs in it and smoked loads! i spent 2 days just cleaning it enough to even think about polishing, but i eventually got it clean and machine polished it this weekend and it now looks like a new car:) well pleased with it,,and the only thing wrong with it is the speedo not working which is quite annoying, but the best thing about it is it only cost me 250 quid so yeah all in all its all good :)

and if you even come to breaking it people will love the front bumper (no front fog cutouts) and the spoilerless boot

Nice car matey!

I prefer MR2s without spoilers. I've removed mine from my rev3.

thanks it is clean very clean :)
i got it for 250 got an mot on it passed with an advisory for the n/s top mount and a slightly worn control arm bush, so i have replaced everything up front uprated with polly bushes, so it now has 12 months mot in very good nik and it only owes me £380 so its a very tidy very cheap car :) and im very pleased with it :)
