Title: Lowest mileage cars / best examples in UK
Post by: rajid on September 13, 2026, 18:35
What are the lowest mileage / best condition cars remaining in UK?

How much do these cars cost to buy?

Did any MR2 come with cruise control?

My SMT that was having problems felt like too much work to fix, didn't trust anyone to work on it (no confidence in repairing the issue) it has since found a new home.

Really liked everything about the SMT, until it started playing up!

Now pondering the market with what's next.

To be absolutlely sure of condition, you need to see underneath.

There are some very good cars out there.  They won't be cheap.

I am pretty sure the 1zz-fe engines don't support cruise control

The SMT's in the states had cruise, it's referenced in the user USA manual

I'm not sure Dave's on here, but a pal of mine has just had it installed on his manual - he bought it secondhand from Matt Lee.

It's the Monkey Wrench Racing kit.

According to the '03 brochure, the FL SMT's have cruise control as standard. Manuals didn't get it.
