BDA:
I was going to say it’s pretty it’s pretty stinky not to mention the TC/TCS but those are only those that are listed for sale on Hemmings.

I have only heard bad things about Fieros. A guy I worked with had one and he was on his third engine (all replaced under warranty!).

EuropaTC:
I'm obviously a mid-engine fan, from that list we've had the Cayman, MR2 Mk1, Mr2 Mk2, the Europa and one that's not mentioned, the Elise.

We even looked at the MR2 Mk3 when that came out because we'd both liked driving the previous MR2's but gave up when we realised just how little storage there was in the car.  We both loved the MR2 Mk1 even though it didn't have a lot of space and we toured Scotland in it (complete with dog !) but the Mk3 was just that bit too tiny.

Richard48Y:
I got a little chuckle out of the Europa they mentioned, and the asking price.
I've looked carefully at the close-up pics and he is as over optimistic as he stubborn.
But hey, eventually inflation may catch up?

EuropaTC:
Yeah, I can't say I was too impressed with a video of the car dawdling around a car park with background squealing from something.

I suppose it's not bad overall condition and I can't really comment on the pricing for your market but converting that would come to around £20k UK which is what I'd expect but I'd also expect much better condition. For example, this car

is around the same price and a lot better IMO.
