I have a mate who wants to buy a car. And he made me a list of what he wants the car to have.

Maximum price - 1800
MAximum doors- 2(i think he won't say no to a 4 door if it's fast)
Maximum capacity - 1600cc
and he doesn't want the car to be small

Any help appreciated

And if the car is also a little bit rare, its even better for him.

Everything ticked except it is a little small. Insurance surprisingly reasonable if that's what he's after.

Doesn't suit everyone, but I've driven pratically everything else now and always find myself longing to get back into mine!

I had an MR2 Mk1 till may last year. By far the best driving experience i have ever had. This car has everything i have on my tick list about a car. I will never forget how responsive the car was! I really loved this car. TBH i told him about it and he told that he would like to have two rear seats. I've been trying to convince him for half an hour.

PS. i don't know when, but i am going to get one again and i will keep it forever. I am still a member of MR2DC

I think you'll find that the Morris Ital was a 1.7 so is too powerful
