I Love my Toyota MR2 mk1T-BAR 1988. For its age it feels and looks better than anything I see on the roads nowadays. The styling of older cars was retro with all the cool vents and square shapes etc. Now u just get curves and all new cars look the same and are all about comfort and safety. I bought my MR2 in February for a measly £700. It needed work so I got all rust off and a complete respray for £450 from my local garage in Alrewas, he was very helpful and if anybody wants his contact number please get in touch with me. Very nippy 1.6 Engine, Great styling and classic car insurance. What more could you want. Great fun :) Being a Toyota it is also easy to get the parts despite the age. I would not recommend going direct to Toyota as the parts are a small fortune, try internet searches and local garages etc. i found toyota were very useful when they did a full check on my car, it helped me pinpoint what I should be working on sooner rather than later. In my case it was the arches and underneath of the car. Overall the car is now in good shape with the work I have had done with it, its much nicer bringing a car that wasnt in a good state back into its former glory, makes the work all worth while :)

Advantages: Handling developbed by Lotus, stuning looks, perfect reliability. A1 examples still under £5,000. Disadvantages: Rust kills most of them, lots of very rough examples out there - especialy T-Bars.
