For sale, my 5th MR2, and by far the nicest one I've owned.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Unfortunately though, a change in my job has ensured I'm doing a lot more miles and fate has landed a low mileage MX5 mk3 with super low miles on me that is now sitting in my garage.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
So the MR2 needs a new home.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I searched high and low for a really good one this time around and I finally found her.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I'm not in a hurry to sell her and I want a decent owner for her.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Anyway.

Rear Apex springs and front turbo springs included in the sale.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Personally I found the rears rubbed sometimes because of the wide tyres when lowered so I opted for the turbo springs on the rear because I didn't want to roll the arches at the time.

When the shockers were fitted I also bought and fitted brand new bump stops all round.

£2200 ovno.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
The car will have the 17" Momos and legal tyres that came on the car when I bought her.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Still very nice to be honest but not perfect condition.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
She really is a great example of a modern classic which has been much loved by myself and the previous owner.
