brand new mr2 mk1 35 miles!!!!!!!!!!!!

ejmr2 · 07-26-2006, 07:44 AM

hi here are a few pics of my car. its a blue mk1 with only 35 miles on the clock. the car has been garaged from new in a heated garage and only surfaced for the occasional service. that car still has the dealer footwell mats and plastic seat covers. what makes it even more special is the registration plate. TIOYTA. THANKS AND HOPE YOU ENJOY LOOKING..

That is amazing! Why did you leave it in your garage for so long without driving? What are your plans for it. That is amazing! That belongs in a museum!

mr2slow4you · 07-26-2006, 08:26 AM

HOLY _____!!! Put it back in the garage, and buy another one to have fun with,lol. But seriously, only 35 miles??

ejmr2 · 07-26-2006, 08:40 AM

the car wasn't bought just to sit in the garage but fortunately have had some great cars in the past and the mr2 has always been overlooked. so i think now is the right time to let it have some glory....

tksmr2 · 07-29-2006, 09:55 PM

Yea, with that being so low miles. Why keep the dealer stickers on the boot lid, etc.. That just isn't good for the paint.

Holy f**k!! Thats amazing! but why have you not choosen to enjoy it at all!?!? It needs to get out once in a while for some fun.

Mister2.2 · 07-30-2006, 02:44 AM

wow! That is amazing! It's such a shock to see these low mileage MK1s whenever they come up, makes me wonder how many other low mileage MR2s of all years are out there.... Good job on keeping it in such good condition.

Mister2.2 · 07-30-2006, 02:48 AM

Got any pictures of the engine bay or the underside?

I think that is relative to who owns it. Really, we don't need that attitude, it's his car, not yours. Personally I think its nice to see such a great example of a preserved MK1, I've seen enough beat up ones, thanks.

Raptor13x · 07-30-2006, 08:00 PM

I think every good car should have a couple examples kept in museum-preserved state.

ALLSHOTUP · 07-30-2006, 10:16 PM

I love that color and that cars mileage is to die for.

Gallagher005 · 08-03-2006, 01:35 PM

i thought it was 35,000 miles...that would still be amazing BUT 35 MILES is insane!!!!!!!

Luni · 08-03-2006, 06:31 PM

All the seals and rubber are probabally as worn as they would be had it been driven all these years.

ejmr2 · 08-04-2006, 08:25 AM

bear im mind the car has been looked after in a toyota showroom for 20+ years, the car is as good as it were in 1989.

Luni · 08-04-2006, 10:20 AM

Has the engine been ran, fluids changed? Parts moved? Etc?

Im sure its fine, I just know that stuff can atrophy over time too.
