Just to add: the front brace is one of Carolyn and David's super sturdy braces and the bottom brace is a Matt's TTE brace. 
Top notch stuff.

Just noticed a typo on my side. The price in the title should be 3650! Not 3950.

3650 seems like a good price

Still for sale. Last buyer bailed

This car is for sale again with a fresh MOT a few days ago, passed in one go.
And now down to a ridiculously low 2500gbp

I would absolutely love this but its a long way from Salisbury & I'm not great on trains. If Angela hadn't got Long Covid she could've driven me up on her way to Scotland but she can't drive very far these days.  Also, I'd have to spend abit to sort the advisories out for next year.  Sadly I don't have the space or knowledge to do it.  Great car for someone though.

He's got someone coming up form doon sooth today. Long way to go so hopefully he takes it home.
It's definitely a great car from two of the nicest owners. 
I provided the brace, middle brace, a few other bits and bobs for it. 
They came to me for any questions they had and when the inevitable o2 sensor failed and I replaced it for them

[shnazzle]

It's sold to a lucky man from doon sooth.

Absolutely underpriced!

Nice, this was an absolute bargain!

I think a recent Pistonheads article has probably helped lately as I had a bunch of calls after it came out.

Oh really? Not aware of that. Yes that'll have helped for sure.

Crazy that it went for 2500 but they tried for a year to sell it at 3200. No takers at all.
That car would easily be 10-12k EUR here in NL...which is equally mind-boggling

I know this sort of thing is said time and again on this and other car's owners forums but I do wonder if the new MR2 due to come out will see a resurgence in interest.

I've been looking for another car lately (don't worry will still have an MR2) and - for the budget - I'm basically drawn to cars pretty much pre-2010 (my criteria being reasonable to work on, semi-practical and interesting). I feel like more modern sports cars are (obviously) very expensive, like unreasonably so (maybe not accounting for inflation etc.?) but they're definitely more and more difficult to work on.
