I've, lets say, inherited a 1991 MR2 from my father.... he's essentially given up driving and was a bit of a car collector and this is one of his many cars I'm now the custodian of.
At this point I'm just checking it over with little to know knowledge of these cars and, if I'm being perfectly honest, I'm not sure on it's future just yet.
All I know is my dad had it for about 5 years and he bought it off a neighbour because I think he liked the look of it. He never used it but instead parked it at the back of his barn and, I'm sad to say, there it sat for pretty much from his ownership onwards.
Last summer (once he had completely given up driving and I knew there was no chance of it ever being used), I took it from the barn straight to an MOT station (about 1 mile) expecting to get a long list of failure issues which would then become my 'to do' list. It was a long list, but these were only advisories and it did manage a pass
But again it was never really used and I put it back in the barn - I have now decided to extract it from the back of the barn and work through the list of advisories.... these were mainly brake related through it just sitting there for years and a couple of other jobs.
So that's me and my scenario.....I'm likely to need some guidance and assistance over the next few months, so I hope you won't mind be posting questions and queries here. I have a couple already so may well be active over the next few days. As I mentioned, I'm not sure on the long term future of this car.... my plan for now is to work on the MOT advisories and put it in for another MOT in July - the result of that may well help my decide what to do after.
good to meet you all
kind regards
Jon
