  • We've got a little Toyota MR2 surprise for Moses our apprentice! He has a Mk1 Toyota MR2 himself but it's currently off the road with a few problems. When we had a phone call from our good friend Mr Thomas the plumber, asking if we wanted a Toyota MR2 we just had to grab it to help Mo out. There's loads of good parts he can pluck off to help his own project!

    The mk1 was arguably the most fun mr2 to drive. That 4A-GE must have been one of the best Toyota engines of all time in terms of fun and enjoyment. However its a car one needs to need to respect as it was never known as being particularly safe in a crash like almost all non Volvo or Merc 80s cars.

    Many moons ago when I was a little boy, my dad had a Cortina Mk1 that he was making various improvements to, and then he bought a really shite mk1 and drive it one mile and parked it in his brother in laws garden. Only later I realised he'd bought it as a donor spares car.
