I said that I would never do this but after a lot of consideration and a heavy heart I have come to the decision that I am going to list EOR for sale. This wasn't an easy decision to make but a necessary one I feel especially given how active I am on the MR2 forum. There is over a 40 page build thread based around this car alone.  

Currently this torquey and very fast sports car is used as a commuter car. Unfortunately the area around my work is turning into residents only parking so I wouldn't be able to use her for commuting unless I pay for private car parking which currently stands at £1700 a year. I can't afford this so in turn this means I'm turning back to motorbikes (as parking is free). and the car would end up dry stored as I can't afford to run two vehicles. I don't really want this beautiful car sat unused in a garage. Plus if I sell her it gives us the opportunity for my partner to go part-time when our little one finally arrives (he is currently massively late!) 

I've put so much time. effort and money into her that it seems only fair for her to be out on the roads and enjoyed. I am therefore offering her up for someone else to enjoy.  I will not let her go for silly money though as I'd rather dry store her than let her go for silly sums of cash

I have invested over £20. 00 in this car and for a speedy. painless sale I am asking far less than this. My starting price is over £4. 00 less than I roughly value her at. and is even significantly less than my agreed value policy with my insurance company. Yes… my engine work alone pretty much cost my asking price! In short it's a bargain.

Quite a list for the measly starting price… In parts alone the car is worth significantly more than that! Included in the sale if wanted I can provide the following parts/spares for free: 
- Large custom pot of car touch up paint 
- New boxed track rod ends
- CTEK trickle charger with mounts currently on the battery (around 3-4 months old) 
- Spare rev 3+ splitter

- Spare wiper arms and wipers 
- Spare USDM red triangle loom 
- Spare good condition and working alternator (really not cheap!!) 

At an extra cost of £80 I will include my custom made multi-layered weather-proof car cover which comes with its own case. This has a zipable section to access the driver's door whilst keeping the cover on the car.  This cost me a lot more than £80!!


The not so good bits… 

- The car currently has a small electrical discharge. This does not effect the use of the car other than the fact that if your leaving it for an extended period of time you need to remove a fuse in the frunk to stop the drain.  
- The rear bumper would benefit from a re-spray as it's the original paint 
- Being picky I would also rub the black window trims down and re-treat/coat them 
- I haven't finished painting up the frunk touch up (I will endeavor to do this prior to any sale)
