MR2 Mk1 Supercharged. - dan
Hi all,
Spotted a supercharged MR2 mk1 (looks in good nick) and on the off chance left a note asking if the owner wanted to sell. I was surprised to get a call from Kim (M) the owner and we had a chat about the car.
He warned me that it wouldn't be worth me coming to look at the car unless l was thinking of paying £3000-3500 !!!

It think its a D reg. Has done about 8,000 (yes 8K) miles in the UK which is about the last 5/6 years.
and did about 30K miles in Japan previous to its IMPORT. (Of course not proveable but does it matter on a car this old?) It is a right hand drive AUTOMATIC.

I understand these cars are rare as only a limited number of MR2 SCs were made hence l would expect a higher than normal price but...£3K? I therefore humbly request your advice. I can't see how we can already be discussing the asking price when l haven't even sat in it! Rather than waste either of out times, is this price realistic assuming it is in good a condition engine wise as the body might suggest?

Regards,
dan

Dan:

I have no idea. But you could try contacting a couple of Jap import specialists, check if they have any, what price etc.
