Documentation - There is a stack of receipts, service book, etc. This MR2 has wanted for nothing. Owned by a MR2 enthusiast who is a member of various MR2 forums.

All documents show what has been done to the car during its lifetime, even from the original owner, everything is well documented.

From the MOT certs and other documentation, you will see that the vehicle covered less than 2500 miles per year.


Notes: Engine swapped out for Revision 3 NA at 114,000 Miles (26 March 2011) Prior to fitting the engine was stripped down (pro garage) and all components checked. Engine had only covered circa 50,000

On engine change, the following were replaced with new items:
• Toyota Oil Pump
• Toyota Water Pump
• Toyota Cam Belt and Tensioner
• Toyota Forlife Coolant
• Rocker cover seals
• Spark Plugs

In addition the usual filters and fluids were changed to both engine & gearbox. Clutch was not replaced as this had only recently been done.

Engine bay has been extensively customised with the turbo weather shield being full “hydro-dipped” in Candy Apple Red carbon.

The same dipping has been carried out to other various elements of the engine bay. Custom exhaust heat shield powder coated in “Prismatic Black”

Custom mirror stainless steel covers have been fitted to both the front and rear fuse box lids

The vehicle has been regularly serviced, with regular oil & filter changes, which were either carried out by Woodsport or owner.

There is a "LikWidArt" 3D Gel Scorpion on the bonnet (top drivers side) not everyone's taste, but a significant sum was spent on this. It can be easily removed if required. This was designed and installed by Rob from Likwidart.

The car runs and drives lovely. Having owned it for over 8yrs and loved every minute of it, I now fancy a change and have recently purchased a Honda Accord Type-R

Many of the MR2 forum members will recognise the car and know how well it’s been looked after in its lifetime. This MR2 has regularly appeared at various MR2 meets and events, including JAE for the last 7yrs.

As there will be no other MR2’s in the family, there will be a box of extensive various spares supplied along with the car.

We have an extensive amount of photos showing all areas of the car, this is to help anyone who is travelling any distance to get an idea of the car before spending out on travelling. The photos are in subject folders; Bodywork, Interior, Engine Bay, etc.

The photos can be viewed at the following link: http://tinyurl.com/qhy38cj


All photos have been left in high resolution to enable the viewer to zoom in on anything they like, so be warned that on a slow internet connection, these could take some time.

The Bad Bits (and they all have them):
There are a couple of spots of bubbling, 1 on each rear wheel arch. Fairly sure this is not rust but the paint bubbling as the previous repair was done in damp weather. Each piece is about the size of a 50p piece. (See pics below)

Where the sills were repaired and the guy that did it did not lay down any rubberised coating before spraying (Body Shultz) the damp has got under the paint and lift it in places. Ideally it needs brushing off, coating in Shultz then spraying to colour.

The aerial mast no longer goes up/down, although it does not affect radio reception. This just needs the mast kit which is about £20 off eBay, unfortunately due to work commitments I just don’t have the time to do it.

Some pics to wet the appetite as they say....
