My MR2 Adventure

As I mentioned before, I was going to buy an ‘88 MR2. Unfortunately, that fell through. The seller (after shattering one of the T-Tops while showing me the car) decided to flush the radiator. Unfortunately, he airlocked it, overheated the engine, and blew a head gasket. So no MR2 for me.

Next, I found an ‘86 in red. It wasn’t the year or color, but was only $1600. I scheduled a time to go see it (in Spanaway, gag); two days after the listing went up. When I called that day, they had already sold it.

Last night, I found a black ‘89 with a moonroof, and (just) less than 100k miles for $3200. I took a look at it today, and it was in very nice shape. No major damage, interior in very good condition, and it drove great. After parting with $2750, it’s all mine. Thus ends (…begins?) my MR2 adventure. Pictures below the cut.

I can attest, for a 16 year old car it certainly *looks* solid. Ian I’m sure will post more information about how it *drives* and *handles*. :-D

Nice car, kinda old but still looks good. Can a celica engine fit in MR2? I’m kinda planning to replace my mr2 engine for a celica. I guess your ride is still in good condition.
