It has some really trick rear lights if you ever see a shot from behind. They're Skyline-esque afterburner jobbies.

Don't like the front spoiler, or the rear one, but the rest is gorgeous, very John Player Special :thumleft:

Mr Sherrys is one of my favourites (ok we did the bodywork so i'm biased!)

Blast from the past here, anyone remember Tina Mahls wide arched Mk1?

I miss my original 1.5 too.... first one in Europe and all hand made bodywork...

I've not seen a better mk1 than my mum's black mk1 MR2.

Brand new in 1985 and one of the first black mk1s in the UK.

It was totally standard so nothing unique about it but black mk1a MR2s were tops for me.

The mk1s on this thread all look a bit tacky or barry to me (sorry)

Liking that quite a lot... I'll have to spray my spoiler black now, I've been considering it for a while but that does look good.
