Stunning MR2 Mk1 multi-discipline, road, race, rally, targa, endurance, and classic.
I bought this car and used it regularly in the summer purely for enjoyment before deciding to take part in the HERO Le Jog endurance rally with it. It did not skip a beat, and it was so much fun with this car being very competitive even against Porsche 911's as we regularly beat them in the time trials.
It has undergone an extensive series of rebuilds and upgrades that make it the all-round multi-usable classic that you see here.
The spec includes but is not limited to:
Rebuilt engine with
Ric woods cylinder head and competition cams
Wosner high comp pistons
Steel rods
Fully balanced
All new bearings, oil pump etc
Blacktop style lightweight flywheel
Rebuilt close ratio gearbox with LSD and uprated driveshafts
Spax adjustable strut inserts all round
Rebuilt brakes
Hydraulic handbrake with removable handle
Custom multi-point cage with door bars
Lightweight motomec seats with multipoint harness etc
Lightweight plumbed and handheld extinguishers
Quaiffe quick rack
3mm alloy sunroof replacement panel
Brantz trip and timer
5mm poly prop tank guard
6mm alloy gearbox and sump guard
boot mounted helmet holders
Comes with 12 superlight wheels with tires, some of them unused.
The carpets are still in this so this is a nice well-mannered car on the road and is so much fun to drive.
It has a current MSA passport, all safety kits should be in date.
It has a slightly bent and damaged front lip and missing one small indicator on the right-hand side due to the right side going into a ditch during the latest rally. The reason for selling is that I am moving to a different country and do not have the time to get the car back in shape. The car still drives superbly as I drove it in this condition for over 2, 000 miles.
This really is a must-see
Happy to chat and listen to serious offers/ proposals
This car has a lot of history and paperwork, not to mention heritage from events it has competed in. Not to mention the feeling you get from this high-revving engine.
