That MR2 really does look like a steal...

MX-5 mate. Cheap, reliable, fine handling.

Probably a hair-dryer in the boot from a previous owner, but so what...

Other suggestions

Some money spare for the dings

Old Skool
I learnt the effects of RWD in an Opel Kadett. Happy days.

Whatever you do, careful chap....

They're snotter trade-ins so I should think the traders just plonked them up on Trader asap so there will be errors. I doubt the Omega is still available at that price.

When the GT-R arrives and I need a daily drive, a late 3.2 Omega Elite will be just the ticket I reckon for £3-4k!

From memory, I think some of those G-Limited imports used the 1.6 engine or something. Definitely a low power option for the Jap market.

Now a low priced, turbo engined one could really teach Rich how to go backwards through a hedge quickly
