rogue systems are the guys to ask about these cars.

Sorry to say one ugly MR2

good engines, same as the celica gt4, just check clutch, front suspension and make sure it heats up properly,,, they are prone for the thermostats going and u need to remove the oil filter to change it, also check all the elctrics are ok, other things prone to going are the alternators where oil from the rocker drips onto them...thats all the common stuff i think... good cars, reliable enough, not the most tail happy tho

I would say check out http://www.imoc.co.uk and http://www.mr2oc.co.uk

I'm a member of both forums (the boards are crap, the advice is good lol)

I wouldn't touch a REv 1 or 2 tubby, rev 3 onwards are better

HTH

Thanks guys and girls :)

Well we looked at the blue one and it was an absolute dog, the worst respray I've ever seen, runs etc, peeling off around rubbers.

 

So I ended up buying the one below (not for me, for a friends son) which looks good but won't know until tomorrow.

 

Just wondered if any of you have seen the car before or know anything about it? It's been sold by a guy at Car Surgeon Ltd, Birmingham.

 

Thanks for any opinions, and sorry I know this isn't the MR2 forum :)

Those 'autopista' rear wings are quite sought after if they're

genuine, i've got one on mine.
