Didn't see a thread where we can show any mr2's that can go on sale and if anyone has any opinions or helpful or insightful views on them it can only help,
www.gumtree.ie/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/toyota-mr2-turbo/79426548
seems nice and cheap for a tubby, retrim is not to my liking but seems a good job.
no year on it though. |

All of life’s problems can be solved with two things—duct tape and WD40. If it moves and it shouldn’t, you need duct tape. And if it doesn’t move and it should, you need WD40 |

UK cars are known to have more rust under the car due to the roads being salted during the winter months.

Is the black one a UK import? looks clean anyway.
Mine was a UK car but I love it anyway - rust and all  |

Even if it was it might have been SORN or whatever they call it and off road during the salty winter months 
Worth a look going by the pics

The Black One flagged as a Uk import when I did a quick check:
"This vehicle was previously registered in the UK. We strongly recommend that you purchase the UK History report in addition to the Irish History report if you are considering buying this vehicle".

Sure Queen lizzy is from the UK also but the govt. is letting her in
I wonder will she have one of her Silver Shadow Rolls Royce's for her chariot?

Traffic is looking like it could be a nightmare next week, N7 & M50 will be completely shut at certain times (details to be released on Monday)

I am going to sticky this thread if that is OK with all.
Now this looks interesting, all it needs is a radiator according to the seller. Body looks good enough.

Nice find. The Beams engine is a 200bhp NA engine and reasonably rare. Shame about the owners choice of kit though

It's the front bumper on the Veilside kit that is slightly over kill  The side skirts etc aren't too bad. Relatively easy put right for a couple of hundred and you would be left with a nice car and a great engine.
