Asking a Q here that you may not wish to answer.

Apart from the for sale threads on here + your 'wanted' thread, Autotrader, Pistonheads etc what other sources do you utilise to locate vehicles such as this latest beauty? .....or is this to remain your secret

I was unaware of this as an eg until very recently

Having been in mr2 circles for many years often people will come to me when they want to sell cars or parts which is nice.
In this case I was reading a thread on fb and saw someone looking to sell and made contact and it went from there and had the car bought within a couple of days.
Almost forgot to add I'm always looking! I dread to think how many hours ive spent looking for cars and car parts over the years.
Genuine enjoy the looking as much as owning and cleaning

'Genuine enjoy the looking as much as owning and cleaning' < sadly? in my case it's the owning and the driving, not the cleaning. But agree with your general thoughts, I really enjoy the 'chase'

 A Very informative answer though, please give me a nudge if you ever locate a '2' that's not quite up to your extremely demanding standards re mileage but otherwise mint please.

I'm waiting for my tyres to arrive after having a set of wheels refurbished. Apparently they have been held at customs for the past 20 days. Once I've got those fitted you will be sick of the sight of pictures.

Do you use Instagram? You can see all my previous cars (search my reg)

Fantastic looking cars - they all look immaculate but I do like a Chilli. ;D

Chilli red seems to show uv  damage the worse, a real shame.

I'm always looking and should something come up I will let you know. I haven't seen just the leather seat covers come up for a long time.

Really like the 9-spoke wheels on your previous Chilli - what make are they, any idea of the weight @s12vea ?

Agree with Jane,a super collection

They were genuine tte grandstands that imported from polland. Cost a small fortune to import / refurbish / new centre caps and tyres.

I've only seen one other set for sale since I sold mine to bernie

Really suited the car and had a great fitment, they were a heavy wheel apparently but I didn't notice it when I had them fitted.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Well, my previous Chilli never suffered from sun damage.  She got a full detail and layers of wax and polish every 6 months and in between a top up and of course she was garaged all the 9 years I owned her which helps of course. I will agree though that silver is very forgiving for general wear and tear.

Interesting to note that Mr T seems to increase the number of wheel nuts on TTE wheels. Well that's what the leaflet shows.
Also interesting to note that what we generally refer to as a "Style Bar" is named a Roll Bar and it's TUV approved on that same leaflet!
I did think that the T in TUV was Technical not Aesthetic.

Why did you sell again?

The eBay link is for a set of grand prix style and slightly smaller 15" they would be a bit small for a 2 and bit narrow.

The TTE wheel option was 4 stud for mr2 but more popular 5 stud on other Toyota range. Celica etc

Managed to enjoy some roof down driving this afternoon while the sun made an appearance, then back home before the rain.

Spent some time upgrading the door speakers and sound proofing the doors.
Such a difference for a couple of hours work.

Went on a road trip this morning to collect some rare parts for the car. Can't wait to get them fitted, hopefully in the next week or so
