Mk1 mr2
What are we all thinking about these. I will more than likely be getting rid of the Saxo for one at the end of the year when insurance runs out and I have saved up.
Insurance is only £1200 compared to £2000 and that is with declared modifications as well
4AGE Engine = 126bhp
RWD
T-VIS
2 Seats
And yes I know about rust problems with these as I am a Toyota technician so will be taking time to find one in good nick.

I love the look of them, but they are one of the most exspensive cars on the road to repair.
A gasket on one of these would cost you in th region of about £600 to repair.
The engine is really compact and a nightmare to pull out for repairs and I knkw this from someone who used to repair them.

Whats boot space (bonnet space?) like? And 0-60 time?
Saw one yesterday and remembered how cheap these things are, hopefully be able to insure one at a decent price when I hit 21...being so old I imagine you can put them on a classic car policy?
