I think it's aged really well.

You tell in the faces of children that have never seen one before. To them it's fresh and a break from the norm.

Hello and welcome.
Another Leicestershire owner here.

My horn is a really deep blast and I'm sure it's the original

Quote from: SurreyMR2 on July 16, 2026, 21:02I fitted Hella twin tone horn kit. Both horns bolted into original horn mounts.

As for DRL lights I fitted Ring items.

Which horn kit?

Like you, I had a few near misses with people not seeing me, so  I fitted the Ring horizontal DRL's. I then obtained a set of the circular combined DRL/ LED fogs from someone who was supplying them on the forum, although it was probably 10+ years ago.  Really pleased with the results & it's made a massive difference to the cars visibility...I've had no issues since they've been fitted.I find the horn OK...it's certainly louder than mist new cars these days

These cars were never main stream and most reviews when it came it out mentioned the lack of luggage space being the issue.

Like many, I was never really that much of a fan of the look of the mr2 roadster and bought it for the fun drive it offered.

It's aged well and is so compact compared to modern cars.

Thank you I've got a face lift so ideally want to replace the dogs.

I will look at the horn

I came into MR2 ownership by pure fluke like Pete I had owned BMW Z3 & Z4's for the last 10 years the straight 6 is a lovely engine and they are a nice GT tourer.

There was a MR2 with the roof open when I went to the local shop, so I hung about for a bit to talk to the owner, Dave who sang the MR2's praises offered to take me for a quick spin down the local back road and I was instantly converted.

I've never been in a car that handled like a go-kart before, It took me a while to find one as I needed an SMT I have been previously never considered one from the gearbox reputation however that is a bit unfounded.

The driving experience and the genuine and helpful community around the car makes these the best value car in the UK.

My only regret is not buying one a long time ago.
