About the best seats you can put in a MK1 though, DC2 Recaros in red. :lover:

Seems to be just poor grammar and general iliteracy like most people these days.

And pound note optimism! 1500 start for a 16000+ miler? Is it me or is that a little steep???

Well, I guess he wouldn't be the first to over-value a car.

Car does look in reasonable condition from the pics. Those seats are worth a fair amount too, probably £400+ if in good nick.

Wheels are nice but not on a mk1 with that arch gap and a bit too shiny for my liking.
If you can't see the angle, you're in trouble.

I'm not liking the stretched tyre and wheel combo. Not seen it done on a mk1 before and it's not for me: each to their own I guess.

I must admit, I do like to see wheels with a bit offset and dish on a MK1. It's a very JDM look so suits the car.

This car does look a bit high and it'd worry me that lowering it to suit the wheels (it would make a world of difference) would end up with it being too low. A higher profile tyre would help no end in reducing the arch gap.

Prefer the Evo7 Recaros myself, not sure if they'd be too big though :-k

Just checked the ebay link now (ebay blocked at work) and I have to say, that looks awesome! Would make a nice 1.5 :twisted:

What a beutiful set of pictures. They really show the best of the car and that must be the deepest shiney red MR2 I've ever seen.
It really does make a change to see a listing with pictures that look like someone has thought about them and taken the time to let a bidder see what they're bidding for.
Well done Osman.

I saw this car in Rusholme, Curry mile. Very shiny, but he should spend more time reading Grassmarketmmar and Spelling for Simpletons, and less time polishing! Still maybe he's dyslexic..

Very nice car. The wheels i'm not sure about, personal taste as Mrs Ward pronounced them perfectly ok.

Definitely needs some help with spelling in that ad.
