this is the one in question and it seems v cheap. The problems are listed on MOT as brakes need an overhaul, needs new tyres all round, 2 new front shocks, windscreens "censored" and the rear bodywork damage.
I think I can fix all of them as nothing too drastic (unless I am missing something) but I was wondering if anyone had anymore info on the car. Reg J582FMX. Ive never owned an MR2 but have always liked the older ones and seems a good little project to get busy with. Any advice welcome! thanks

Re: looking at getting a mk2 mr2
pictures not working.
From the MOT history i would be very thorough checking it over, sound like whoever had it really didnt care and did very little on maintenance.
"Rear Tyre(s) of different sizes are fitted on the same axle. (5.2.3 (b))"
Thats worrying.
unless its very cheap then its not worth much.

Re: looking at getting a mk2 mr2
Don't really know what to think of this one - doesn't seem to have been well cared for.
I think with a bit of money, time and know-how, you could make it a good track car.
But would obviously depend on the frame and how much rust you've got going on.

Re: looking at getting a mk2 mr2
I don't recon its cheap .probably a fair price .I don't know what the scrap man is paying .id try to get it cheaper . you want to price up the parts it needs. im not saying you shouldn't buy it but 350 can soon turn into a grand.
