Yes start a fresh thread once you take ownership, along with a few photo’s 👍🏻

 what colour did you go for and what’s the mileage ?

Hey Bob

It's a silver one, common I know, but found it doesn't show the dirt as much as some colours! My current MR2 is silver and my last car was too. Mileage is just over 106K

It has 19" non OEM wheels which are getting refreshed. How would I know the correct tyre pressures for these as it won't be as per the owner's manual?

Agree ..silver is great for looking clean while dusty 👍🏻

Looks like it has spent a number of years post 2019 off the road. Prior to that number of concerning corrosion advisories and more strikingly first MOT 2023 it's been undersealed in an advisory. That issue would make it my view that it has to be seen on a ramp power washed to a fare thee well so I can actually see the full condition of the underbody without any sealants masking it.

Hi all, you probably gathered she sold very quickly, first viewing. Lovely lovely vehicles but you need to be able to use them to enjoy them. Good luck to those of you still looking. Thankyou for all your comments.

Delighted for you. Looks a great example and care should bring it's reward.

Methinks you're expecting some sort of miracles with these cars .............  Guys, this one is nigh on 23 years old ...  it's a car with 105k miles ......  it's living in the uk climate .....  cars have a habit of rusting, they're made of metal .........   this one looks probably all ok from what I'm reading here 🤞

You need to reread malc. Moreover some of the cars at circa this age are in great condition ,because their ownership created that situation. Others not so ,because owners basically did what they do with property, they 'squatted in it and just looked to pass along the problems they didn't bother to rectify.

No over expectations here. Good example, the chap selling his Grey at that price...wonderful ,why not, he's shown it 'the love' which doesn't come cheap. No reason why owners with benign neglect should not be held to account on the auction block.

Once you’ve taken ownership the seats could do with a make over … there is leather dye available to seal up the age related cracks and bring them back to life 👍🏻

Wow Bob, you don't miss much!

Thanks for the tip. I will let you know when I have it

All 3 of SC430’s I’ve owned have had RUTLAND cream leather, and they’ve  all needed a little dressing to keep them looking good 👍🏻
