There are plenty of convertible sports cars available under £2000, but when the car in question has to be Japanese, yet can't be a Mazda MX-5, your options become severely limited. Joe decided to revive a forgotten member of the Classics World fleet and he's already loving it!

I had a 2005 one of these from new for five years, great little car. If I remember correctly, when you have the roof up, you’ll notice two straps popped in to place by what would be the “B” pillar. If you loop these round and refasten, it pulls the back of the hood in when folded, flush with the deck for a much neater look.

Fantastic choice and a really fair review of the car. Every time I drive a stock one of these now it reminds me why I chose it as a platform for my build. Brilliant car as standard, amazing car with some choice work and mods.

Excellent video. We recently bought a 21 year old car as well and as you say; cars of this age usually need some extra TLC as age and irregular maintenance will have had their effect. But if the car is basically sound, it can still be great and with some love can only get even better.

I bought a late MR2 MkIII (2006) at three years of age but it had been in the sale room most of it's life and had done 3000 miles. I've had it 12 years and it's been the best car I've ever had. Love it! Just had the wheels reconditioned but other than that it's been fantastic. Drives like a go kart and is fun and reliable. I had the optional hard top which is fantastic for winter if you have somewhere to store it. The value is already starting to go up. It is completely mint and in my view has to be one of the best value classics available. Even my minter is only worth £5-6k.

I live in poland and i ve bought mine for 20000pln (about 5000£). I modified it a bit and it makes 160+hp but when it was stock you still can feel much much better accelration than factory claims.

Jack Smith in Swansea will make you a nice new roof. He’s popular with MR2ROC members.

I don't care what anyone says about MX5's, the MR2 does all that and is as reliable and cheap to own as a Corolla of the same year.

The 2zz engine from the Celica is a popular swap. An extra 50hp and glorious variable valve timing! Quite cheap to do too so I believe

Dude, I don’t know where you can get a working mk3 for 2000 pounds sterling? In the US they are closer to $10, 000 USD.
