I'm gutted that I'm forced to sell this great little car as she has been brilliant for me but personal circumstances have made it difficult to keep her and I'm sure her new owner will love her as much as I have.

So first off I have used this car as a daily driver as I work only 4 miles form where I live it made perfect sense to get a modern classic with great character and the MR2 did not disappoint so she gets driven almost every day and has NEVER let me down.

The highlights....
2006 model so one of the last ever made
Only 93622 miles on the clock 
Loads of service history and receipts from previous owners and myself
2 keys
Original book pack
MOT until 08/26

What's been done to her by myself...
So this list is very long and I will try and name them in order.
'''NEW ROOF''' that right a new roof and side bags was fitted by the guy in Swansea just after getting the car.
Service with oil filter, air filter, denso iridium plus around 6k ago or 2 years
2 rear brake calipers toyota
New pads and disks all round
New Pioneer speakers
Brighter bulbs behind the cluster gauge
Toyosport header and gravity twin back box
New radiator
Cam cover seal
2zz injectors with new seal kit and maf spacer and Pipercross air filter.
Seat back swapped from the passenger to the driver so very little wear on the drivers seat back
From the previous owners I have lots of paperwork but two of the big bits that stand out are that the rear subframe has been dropped and fully repaired plus around 70k miles the car had a fresh clutch and changing gear is spot on.   

The bad bits...
So there is not that much to report as she drives great, brakes are spot on, no pulling to one side or anything like that. But there are some body work bits.
A few weeks ago someone went into my rear bumper and left a lovely scuff mark, its only paint no cracks etc and I've had a quote for around £200 to sort.
The passenger wingmirror case could do with a respray and some marks on passenger door plus stone chips on front bumper but all superficial and do not impact the use of the car.
The original mid pipe on the exhaust is still on the car but the bracket has seen better days and vibrates when revved but its a small thing.
Lastly the hand brake, I had the new calipers fitted and it worked great but needs adjusting every few months. I did it for the MOT but will doing again just something I don't have time for right now.

The bonuses....   
So the big bonus is that whoever buys the car can have my private plate free of charge T2 YOA (Toyota) that's right free of charge, its on the car ready to go and its just another job for me to take it off and wait for log book etc.
Also I have all the original bits to go with the car like original speakers, original exhaust, 2x new front fog lights (did not get round to fitting them)
I also have a gravity straight through mid pipe where the new owner can fit direct or weld in a new cat, was on my list of plans that's why I haven't bothered to sort the exhaust bracket yet.

Side note...
I did put a new pioneer head unit but my wife got if for me as a birthday gift so would feel bad if I didn't take that out before the car goes as my daughter got a car not so long back and my wife has said she could use it but all the facia to fit another one will be left in plus I have the original head unit to go with all the rest of the stuff anyway.   
   
So I am not looking to get all the money back I paid for her plus the parts work etc, I have really enjoyed the car so just looking to get her a new owner and who will keep her going and love owning this great little fun mid ship runabout
£2250 ONO
Pics to follow guys

Always best to attract the attention like so:

@Jared

Maybe even a PM to get attention, but then as you should be aware, all dealings to be on open Forum.

Should do it @Gaz but it is difficult to help those that won't help themselves.
I believe that there are on line Forums where posting your phone number would result in much unwanted traffic. Hence our Forum rules!
