MR2 Mk2 Rev3 G-Limited import £750
Heres my 1993 K MR2 Mk2 Rev3 G-Limited auto import reluctantly up for sale. The Rev3 is UK 1994 spec, but the Japanese got it a year early. This is the 173BHP 2litre twin-cam engine, and is a great drive.
Ive known this car since import in 2003. The one previous UK owner is a friend of mine, and importantly were still friends after I bought it from him! In the past six years its been ultra-reliable for both of us, and Im as loathe to sell it on as he was. But needs must (he needed more seats due to a new child, and Ive just got a Boxster).
Top line info:
88,000 miles (displaying just over 141,500 km)
Automatic (nice smooth box for stress free driving, and a fixed second gear for when you want a bit more fun. Also means that you know the engine hasnt been thrashed as you cant over-rev it)
Mechanically sound and very reliable
Tax & MOT until the end of September
Serviced less than 500 miles ago
Original 15 alloys fully refurbed last spring
New tyres 2,500 miles (4000km)
Full UK Service History (i.e. since import)
Air con, power steering
As demonstrated in the pics, the paintwork could do with a little TLC, and this is reflected in the low price. The 90s red paint has faded and been t-cut back in places Ive tried to get the most realistic photos up. Ive also shown the few minor scrapes on the bodywork in the pics, the worst being on the passenger door when my neighbours daughter fell off her bike into it!
Theres no accident damage to the car, all panels align perfectly and all joins and weld spots are original and not interfered with. This was verified by Tom at 911 Virgin who inspected it when I got my new car from them.
Its a great runner and a fantastic car, and with the low price due to the paintwork youll have something of a bargain buy! Any questions fire away. Ive got a few more pics if youre interested.

Shame. You'd be nursing a bitten-off hand if it had a manual box...

Don't I know it! I originally bought this because it was offered to me at a good price by someone I knew and trusted. I was sceptical about the auto box beforehand but actually quite like it. Point and shoot, you can't go wrong!

Not a negative point now there is the flappy paddle conversion offered by TwoBrutal/Woodsport i think?
How many times have you tried to T-cut it back to Red?

Personally I've not done more than an exuberant polish with T-cut. The guy I got it from had quite a full on t-cut session just before I bought it. The worst area, as shown in the pics, is the drivers side rear wheel arch - that rear quarter was quite faded just before I picked it up.

That will come back with a good mop and an experienced detailer.

Yeah, I reckon so. It's really minor cosmetic stuff. If whoever gets it is in a position to easily tidy it up then they'll have got themselves a great bargain.
I'd be tempted to keep it and give it a go myself, but the wife won't let me keep two mid-engine sports cars!
