After all you have been through with the Rev3, why would you not enjoy driving it for 6 months before moving on? After all, you came back to MR2's for the love of them, you have replaced loads of parts that could fail with new or nearly new......I don't see why you would choose now to jump ship.....?

There's loads of car dealers/companies on that road!

Ford, Peugeot, Citroën, Mclaren ect.

Was gonna rule out Mclaren, as much as we would love to have one of their finest, the price is a little steep for 99% of us :laughing

Wasn't expecting that. Very shiny. Wondered why you kept talking about red Mk2's. Rev4 G Limited. Surely needs a Tubby transplant?

An N/A, makes sense I guess after all the money that was spent on the Rev 3. I sold my Rev 2 turbo in favour of an N/A so I understand the logic, albeit probably for different reasons.

Going to strip it out & track it?
