It's just that urge to get 'something newer' ... I doubt it will be much better for my uses really - just it will be almost new and - oh, I don't know
It's true that my MKI is increasing in value, I looked at 30 MX5's before I bought the one I have
and that was a few years ago now .... I would need to look at probably 100? to get to mine again? So it is certainly a rare find.You have a MGB? MGF? Spitfire? Stag?

Keep it, it seems a bit excessive to buy a nearly new one just for something new. If you can afford it, on the other hand, fill your boots. I would in the same situation

I was keeping the money for when house prices fall - to buy some more, but - I guess £10k won't dent it too much??

Is a 1995 MX5 really going to increase in price?
I can understand a premium at the beginning of the summer, but even my classic 380 SL maintained it's price, rather than increased (apart from in April / May )

Lots of the MX5s are used as normal everyday cars, so - the ones which are pampered and never taken out in the wet get rarer.
The everyday cars drop in value as they get more tired and tatty - the best ones don't.
Depends what the buyer wants, a runaround or a 'special'

I have a few people who are interested - I will announce the sale if I find another.
I'm looking for something like a Gleneagles, Merlot or Montana .... or a late Sport.
