I was lucky to find mine as I was EXTREMELY particular about which variant I wanted, but by no means is it perfect. I'd still be looking if I didn't buy it.
I'll get 450km to a tank around town with a bit of freeway/highway driving.
I'm also not shy with the noise pedal.
Definitely economical!
Don't be concerned about engine swaps or resprays. These cars will be hard to find in stock condition.
Judge the car by it's present condition, not by how it started life.
After all, most race cars have some sort of mechanical conversion, and a new paintjob... :)

Thanks for the kind words guys. The car actually Looks better with a wash and polish.

After looking at mr2s for 2 years before I find the perfect one for me.

I gotta disagree, paint jobs at this age are expected but after looking at a few local examples of conversions in mr2s and soarers I would only go stock gen 3.

Conversions can have issues, and electrical gremlins would suck
