MR2Don Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Something I'd personally like to see posted on here is any time anybody sees an MR2, Mk1, Mk2 or Mk3. It's sort of "How Many are there out there?". I know I can drive mine for miles and miles and not see one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malpaso Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 According to this handy website there are 2,200 MR2s on the road and another 5&1/2 thousand on SORN. You can break it down further by models if you know the type. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan R Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 That makes sad reading! Alfasud - 7 Ford Fiesta XR2 - 287 Vauxhall Astra GTE 16v - 59 Honda VF-750 - 11 I have owned all these vehicles over the years and it comes as a surprise (well maybe not the Alfa) how few are left... Cheers, Alan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyas Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Sunday morning spot as usual This M4 is finished in a special BMW Individual paint of Speed Yellow, basically a Porsche colour. One of 12 special M4 Individual cars built for members of M Owners Club Indonesia. And a 458 Spider in Rosso Corsa with Cuoio interior. Basically a resale spec, but when it looks this good I will let it slide. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and if you do you find some interesting points, such as the number that have been converted to 3 litre (V6, ex Camry or Lexus) and the two diesels (?). Even more interesting, the administrator reckons he's got 22,000 active users in the Owners Club!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitkent Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 If I see an MR2 I'll try and get a picture! Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 In Saxilby today, (just outside Lincoln) a white Reliant Scimitar. Black Vinyl roof & Wolfrace wheels. Not too far away, in Stow, there lives a lovely little yellow Lotus Elan of around 1970 vintage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitkent Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Went to the Goodwood Revival on Sunday for some great racing. Just a couple of pictures as my phone was playing up and ran down pretty quickly! The nail varnish coloured car didn't race,and no.31 is a 1931 Maserati Tipo 26M. It was pouring with rain when I took this. Chris. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just today I saw a blue Mk2 parked up going into work, then followed a grey Mk3 for part of the way home and passed a silver Mk3 coming the other way. Still, could be worse. I could be calling out all the ones like mine (Mk7 Fiesta) 😆 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's (partly) jogged my memory of seeing a red MK3 convertible earlier this week, but the failed part of the memory is where....!!

Toftdale Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Spotted this outside Classic Team Lotus last week. and was sitting in a layby having my breakfast and this went past, only just caught the photo. I assume its an early one as the bonnet had louvers 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthewbacon Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Too slow on the draw for a picture, but walking the dog this evening in Whiston (S60) I was passed by a Triumph Toledo in glamorous mud-brown. One of 160 on the road, according to HML… best, M. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone up the road had a grey Mk3 roadster but now you've made me think about it, I don't think I've seen it recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
