Hello, I was told about this forum by a guy called Lee whose Masterace I will hopefully be buying and I liked the look of it so thought I'd join up  Currently own a 1986 MR2, though it's off the road for winter at the moment! Here are some pics of it      Cheers! |

That is freakin AWESOME!! Always liked the white/grey Mk1's but with those wheels and in that condition.....I'm lost for words. I cannot believe I'm about to say this, but I think it looks so right at that ride height. I'm a massive fan of lowered cars, I think slammed Mk1's look great, but yours just looks so right as it is. Nice location and pics too |

That's stunning!  I bet summer can't come soon enough to get it back out on the road. |

Thanks for the kind comments! Too right the summer can't come quick enough - it's sitting with a cover on it just now under a thick coating of snow :/ Can't wait to get it out and about again! Really liking the forum - love old school cars! Had a MK2 XR2 before the MR2 also - didn't own it for all that long so not got many pics of it!  |

Wow- lovely. I had a mint condition supercharged mk1's . The last of - 1990. It was exactly the same colour. boy it was great! fantastic cars.
My brother in Bristol has just bought one- he too is keeping it off the road till ice has gone.
I agree- it looks great at that height.

Hey thats a stunner, hope the grot situation is as well as it looks. Makes me really inspired I still have one of these, a lot rougher than yours mind!  Nice one. It could use a lower stance but on the flip side Its nice to see one looking chunky and subtle good on ya. |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts |

Cheers again! As for the rot situation, it used to be like this:   Before the previous owner carried out the following work:   And used it as his wedding car ;D  The respray isn't the best - the silver paint has some runs and the white paint is a bit orange-peely, but I intend to have that sorted come spring So long as the rust has been seen to, I'm not so concerned Plus it has 58,000 on the clocks! |

The guy that owned it before me is called Mark and from Cardiff - as far as I'm aware he's not on here but he might be!
He's on MR2MK1Club.com and possibly IMOC though?

I love this colour combination. As Bruce said, just works with the rims/stance too. Welcome to RR ;D

That is officially the cleanest mk1 MR2 I've ever seen ;D Agreed 100%. That is stunning. Top work to the previous owner for saving it and looks like ur carrying on doing the same. Good work all round. G. |
