Looks like I'm cycling to work next week.

That's right, today I became an ex-MR2 owner as I waved goodbye to my tubby. I sold it today to the first person that came to view it, he gave me the asking price so we're both happy

A few pics of the car to remind you of what it looked like.

Maybe I've missed the thread - but whats its replacement? Beautiful car though

Edit sorry mate ive screwed up your picture posting - do us a favour mate and report my post and hopefully they can delete it

Beautiful piece of machinery. So, what's next?

 

[thebrasso]

It must have been pretty difficult seeing it being driven away

Are you going for a VX220 then?

One of these (gotta find a suitable one first though)

 

[Enfield]

Nooooooo! Loved that car, how come you sold it?

Get a TVR Griffith 500, you know you want to.

 

[andi]

Its just not OcUK Motors without your MR2!

Replacement should be even better though

 

[Phantom]

how much did you sell it for eidolon? did the ICE go with it too?
lets hope the buyer takes as good care of it as you did!

Cos a nice man came along and gave me this

Sold it for £7k without any ICE. The new owner is an MR2 nut so I think he'll keep it in good condition

 

[Enfield]

LMAO!

*hint hint* Heritadge collection. *hint hint*

Elise 23 or 25 or 49 or 72...

Same as the normal ones but so much cooler to drive.

Now go and start a 'Show us your desk' thread in GD

It must be a shame to see it go... but just think S2 Elise

Are you definatly not getting a VX220 now then?

 

[DreXeL]

Shame to see it go, it's a truly stunning example, one of the best.

Good luck with the hunt for your new steed

I'll wait until I withdraw the rest of the money out for the Elise then I'll take a pic to post over there

I'm 99% certain that I'm gonna get an Elise now.

My first impression of the standard VX220 turbo was that it was a nice car but not really much of an upgrade to my MR2. Then I went for a passenger ride in a modded one (Stage 1 boost + 16/17 wheel combo) which was far better. Then a few weeks ago I went out in an Elise 111R and was blown away, I've never been in a car that gripped quite so well, it defied the laws of physics!

I think I'll just get an 04 spec 111S though, they seem a bit less hardcore and it kinda seems a bit pointless to get another VTECish engine when I've got the CTR.

 

[Sagalout]

Is that a "Securitas - Tonbridge" label I see?

 

[Fulcrum]

So thats why you were polishing it up so well, money well invested there

What milage, year was it again

Really need to compare the VXR to the 111R . The one I test drove had Ohlins and Pagids, and well that VXR was an amazing car.

Ha ha beat me to it

I'm stripping an MR2 tomorrow (front ender). Quick question, do they use anything in the way of torx screws, or is it held together with proper stuff?
