Mr2 Mark 1

[simonj]

Just aquired a MR2 Mk1 T-Bar on a E plate. Totally standard with only 28k on the clock. I am planning to use it as a secon car a do only about 5k a year. Is there any good insurance deals out there and whats the approx value of the car.

Depends on the condition of the bodywork as the Mk1 is prone to rust, if the car is mint and only done 28k I would estimate £1.5k - £2k, you may be lucky and get more to a true MR2 fan but I would guess that to be a fair price...

AON Insurance are pretty good and cover Trackdays if you require that sort of cover (I would it's great fun in a Mk1. Or Droset Insurance although you would have to pay the £30 Membership to MR2 Drivers Club (www.mr2dc.com) to get discounted insurance (they also cover trackdays)

Genuine 28K on a 15 year old car is an excellent deal (if that is genuine!) - Nice one!!

I often find that some of the bigger insurance companies tend to do good deals as well as the specialists... try:

Liverpool Victoria

Tesco

Direct Line

Privelege

for starters. Make sure you phone round them all again with your most competetive quote, see if they knock some more off for you.

Elephant were the cheapest for me although no track cover and have to pay in one lump sum
