The MOT is imminent, and it needs a little TLC - but Shed-money MR2s won't be around forever...
Ah, projects. The things that we all like the sound of, but that most of us know full well will never be brought to fruition. Comic genius Peter Cook once asked a guest at a literary drinks party what he was doing at the moment. 'I'm writing a novel,' came the reply. 'Ah yes,' retorted Cook. 'Neither am I.'
The key point about car projects is that some are voluntary, but others are forced upon us if we wish to continue to enjoy a vehicle.fits into that pigeonhole. It looks OK from a distance but it will need time, effort and money spending on it. Judging by the volume of significant work that's already been done on it, Shed reckons that last phrase will have been used just about every time its V5 has been signed over to the next mug - sorry, owner.
The car passed the Feb 2021 test at 102,000 miles with advisories for steering play and slight underbody corrosion. What new and interesting maladies it might have accrued in the twelve months and 7,000 miles since then will soon become known. Shed's take on it is that successive owners have tried to do right by the car but the most recent one has seen the writing on the wall and is trying to cut his or her losses. Who knows or cares.
Anyway, the selling dealer has kindly provided us with a clear and comprehensive set of images to work with. We're told about new rear brakes - braking componentry of one sort or another having popped up on just about every MOT report since 2007 - and the Avon tyres look nice and chunky. The peeling lacquer on the nearside rear wing will upset a perfectionist, but there's nothing wrong with the hood that a few roughly-torn lengths of bright yellow gaffer tape can't put right.
