What you lot reckon on this one, I am viewing it tomorrow. I have some extra pictures of the seats as the bolster is shot on the drivers side but I know a man who could help .

If you have driven one, you know that they are a very good sports car. Stupid comment is not requested.

If you have not , then I suggest you leave "the hairdresser/girls car" replies outside.

 

Not a fan of the wheels Ian, I think I'd put the standard wheels back on.

Looks a good buy, and you wouldn't have a problem in getting your money back later on if you got bored.

When are you and Ryan setting up your boutique then Maldwyn? Sorry couldn't resist.

 

Looks a tidy little car, never driven one so dont no what there like, never heard anything bad about them though....

Wheels are Aweful though!

 

Or these ?

Totally agree on the wheels. All the blurb and my previous experience says keep these standard for the best results. I can always flog the wheels and put the money back into the car.

Or I could see if they fit the Ninja's car.

 

The blue one looks quite cheap, nice to have a hardtop for the winter as well, the "mojo" LOL steering wheel looks a bit boy racer other than that looks tidy...

The green one looks like it hasnt been messed with at all, the green and tan with the wood steering wheel wont be to everyones taste, but its only a runabout soo...

 

Superb cars, if the blue one is as good as suggested its a great buy

+1 for the blue motor

 

These are excellent to drive, even for me at 6'4"

 

the first one looks nice, quite like it actually the best looking of the 3. having the hard top is def something that might draw me to the other as we all know some pleb with a stanley knife can ruin a soft top easily. 3rd 1 looks an origional example that hasnt been messed with. take your pick..

 

Gay cars

 

Post them up on mxnutz if you ain't already on there. Someone is bound to know the previous history on them mate.

 

Bit out of my age range that site. "MX-5 owners (MX5OC)" are more savvy.

Off to Worcester after lunch tomorrow .

The only fly in the ointment is Keith Micheal are not open on Saturdays .

 

Yea but it'll still help find out any history of mixers your interested in. Ill post them up on there if you want

 

The one I am looking at is not on any websites. But feel free to post the others.

 

A "do you know this car" thread, go on Ry

 

Dad & the boy are going topless together at the next meet

 

But I have the ***** to carry it off. I'll have to dig out the flat cap.

Going a bit left field and having a look at a Del Sol as well .

 

For a bag of sand you can't go wrong and you will see your money back in 12 months time. I never hear anything bad about them and they seem easy to work on with cheap parts too.

Knowing you, after the 12 months it will probably be in concourse condition too so you could even see a return on your money. A good one will always be worth a grand.

Also the roof comes off so it doesn't matter how camp you look, its still good fun!!

 

1000 quids worth of fun mate, flog those wheels and put the originals back on. Plenty about so dont rush it, not sure abour the winter car bit!!!!

 

OK the black car with the gash alloys:

1. Boot lock fubar'd. You have to use a screwdriver .
2. Black car with red paint inside where the boot lock should be .
3. No boot carpet or spare wheel and loads of rust around the battery.
4. The only way to describe the drivers side bolster was "burst" .
5. I pointed out the blistering and rusty sills, "Oh, how did that get there?" says seller .
6. Drain holes blocked.
7. Paint job by Abu Hamza!

Phoned about the Blue one with the Hard top. Fessed up to some shoddy welding and "perhaps a little rust breaking through on the front wing".

Dropped in on one in Cefn Forest. Good roof, bit of laquer peel. Minor sill rust, started on the button, UK model though, so no goodies. BUT spare wheel full with water. "Oh, how did that get there?"

Went to have a look at a Del Sol, walked away, as there was so much condensation inside the car it was raining and moss was growing along the window channels. And that was at a dealer .

There are some dogs out there.

I may just go normal banger instead .

 

Sounds like the next Top Gear challenge.. Can you buy a decent mx5 for a grand?

 

Gone normal. 51 plate Ka Collection, AC, two owner from new, 64k, fFsh, MOTs, all the original keys and receipts. Oh and less than an MX5. Maybe next time.

 

Your flat cap just will not look the same in a ka Ian

 

Sounds like a good buy

 

So, went and paid the deposit for the car ready for pick up tomorrow.

Went back to the Ninja and drove home in the Scoob via Pencoed, Llanharan and then home but it went very wrong in Llanharan. They have started building more hoses and the road is crap with potholes and broken surface on the new roundabouts, steered left then right to drive through and caught a hole with some right hand down applied and yep you guessed it





it went flat and will not inflate and only got them off Merv yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Gutted! I'm sure we know a man who can do something with that for you.

 

It "Fatties Leg" I will have to scout out a lone one for sale .

Any of the @Bonters passing that way beware of the new Mini Roundabout on the edge of Bryncae .

 

I'm sure that could be sorted? you should of seen the state of my alloy after the roundabout jumped out on me. Renowheel sorted it for me.

 

TWS in Cwmbran have fixed far worse than that for me Ian. Turbo the MX5!
