Just bought one of my old cars back...
It feels very weird driving it again, it's even more gutless than I remembered. It's a 1995 1.1 'Classic' MK3 in white. Done about 60,000. I bought it in 2003 for £1k with a full Ford service history and 36,000 on the clock. Sold it to a friend in 2008 for £400 with about 50,000 on it, and bought it back yesterday for the grand total of £75! It's even got tax til September and MOT til March. Bargain!
I have a few plans coming up this year which will involve having the MR2 off the road for a while. I was vaguelly on the lookout for a runaround and have ended up buying N521YEF back... the Fiesta that I learnt to drive in :lol:
