These are very easy to convert to manual if you can find a good auto.Monkeydonkeyratmagic wrote: ↑Fri May 11, 2018 2:42 pm Think I've narrowed it down.
Silvia S12 but in manual. Can't live with a 4speed auto.

Anyone ever had a car imported from Japan? I have made contact with a company that charges a flat £500 to import and handle an incoming car and do the bidding process in Japan for you. They have a grade 3 MR2 Supercharged Mk1 expected to go for around £2.5k.. Which makes it a bargain on paper. Will require undersealing though as a priority.

excercise caution and pay the extra for someone on the ground to look it over. quite common to see auctioned cars auctioned as wrecks, repaired and sold as quality cars weeks laterMonkeydonkeyratmagic wrote: ↑Mon May 14, 2018 11:58 am Anyone ever had a car imported from Japan?

So the MR2 seems dead in the water. Even imports in Japan are lining up at 7k now plus fees and shipping at 1500.
So the Silvia remains but only Autos on sale at the moment.
Anyone ever had a 300zx TT? These seem surprisingly cheap for a well speccd monster of a car. About 4k for a clean manual T bar twin turbo.
