MOT passed 29 October 2024. Anniversary is 2nd November. Serviced yearly. Full list of receipts, 4 wheel alignment check results, etc
Garaged for the vast majority of its life
Pre-cats removed in 2005 (by Markiii of this parish)
Set of Corky braces fitted in 2007 (by Markiii): FSTB (Front Strut Brace), MSMB (Mid Ship Member Brace), RLCB (Rear Lower Cross Brace), RMB (Rear Member Brace) (see pictures). These really help reduce flex. Coupled with the hardtop, the car feels at least as stiff as a normal car.
The original braces and bolts are included to return to stock
The front bin cover has been unclipped so the FSTB can be fitted. The cover is included in case it needs to be returned to stock
Spare key and Master key (or it might be ignition only key). Hardtop kit (panels if the fixing brackets are removed and pads for the brackets), and heated windscreen cable
Leather seats are in good condition
Includes 2 leather bags designed for the luggage compartment. And the black 'Passport' folder

Pictures:
Updated, after adding the hardtop and a bit more of a clean. Still sunny when I took them.
These don't really do it justice as it was a very sunny day which doesn't mix well with the black, coupled with a lot of dust and leaves blowing about

Technically, I'm the 2nd owner but I bought it when it was less than 3 weeks old
Selling because I just don't use it enough (you can see from the MOT mileage history) and I'm planning to move and won't have the space to keep it.
I've obscured the reg on the photos but it's GV04SXK for checking its history

I welcome feedback on the price as I have no idea what the value should be.

Buyer to arrange collection of the hardtop stand - it's pretty large and won't fit in the MR2.

Issues
A/C stopped working last year
Maybe 1 minor parking dent. I always park at far ends of car parks.
Slight scuff/mark on the drivers door (surface level)
Scuff on bumper - can be seen in the photo
Small amount of rust on the offside rear panel above the lights. Result of me reversing into a metal pole sticking out from a low loader. Touched up at the time.
Tyres are AD08r and have tread, but are 8 years old
There are a few advisories on the last MOT:
Front Brake disc worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened (1.1.14 (a) (ii))
Rear Brake pad(s) wearing thin (1.1.13 (a) (ii))
Nearside Front Coil spring corroded (5.3.1 (b) (i))
Offside Front Coil spring corroded (5.3.1 (b) (i))
Nearside Rear Coil spring corroded (5.3.1 (b) (i))
Offside Rear Coil spring corroded (5.3.1 (b) (i))

Probably worth the money with all the extras on it, but do yourself a favour & give it a proper clean, or pay someone to do it.  Two cars have recently sold for more money (both newer & less miles mind) but they were both in terrific condition.  8 year old tyres isn't great either.

Fwiw

I reckon a tad overpriced, mint condition with the ht = £5k

Yours maybe nearer to £4500-4600

Thanks for the feedback.

I've reduced the price and provided new photos which now show the hardtop.

Updated photos certainly do the car more justice @mrsmr2 ....kudos

Consider asking the moderators to move this to Vehicles for Sale from where it is now (it just may attract more immediate attention if it's in the correct category)

Thank you.

I hadn't even spotted there was a vehicles for sale section  :o

Interested in this.
Has the clutch been done? If not, how is it?
Would you be available for a viewing/test drive in the next couple of weeks?

Hi

Clutch hasn't been done but it's absolutely fine.

Certainly, I'm around for viewing/driving.

Just let me know when.

Thanks
