Gordon Polson's Journal --

I am looking for an MR-2. My last car was a1992 Nissan Sentra SE-R, regrettably gone now for 18 months. It was a wonderful car - fast, stuck to the road and accelerative. I loved it and I still regret that I ever sold it. However, I am now looking again and I rather fancy the earlier angular MR-2, unfortunately I know little about them - at least not the sort of information I need before buying. I haven't been able to find a Haynes manual on the MR-2 series even though they list one in the rear of any of their other manuals (#92065) Can anybody set me straight possibly on which models are best and points to be aware of when looking to make a purchase? Spares availability? I would like to buy a model that is preferably unmodified, as I am not interested in racing or similar. I just would like to obtain a straight model to drive and enjoy and maintain. My previous experiences have been with MGs - 1935 PA, 1936 PB 4 seater, 1938 TA, 1953 TD, 1954 TF and a B-GT. Morris Minor 1000, Morris 1100, Wolseley 1500, Fiat 650, Subaru 1600 Wagon. and 2002 Toyota Camry. I did almost all my own work except on the Camry - I share it with my wife as it is her car and not my style at all. I grew up with small cars and they are my preferred form of transport. Any advice would be gratefully received. Thank you, Gordon
