Those in the know know what good cars these are and having had one before I fancy another as the daily hack. I am the first to give The Boy and hard time but as a drivers car it's pretty much always in the top ten of any car magazines garage.

OK, the colour is not to everyones liking but it's ticking the boxes on age mileage and price. Do I get some more info and pics, that is the question?

If all goes to plan then the KA will be up for grabs.

 

Looks a nice example Ian will you be getting a promotion to the Camp Barbers?!

 

Main concern with those's Ian is rust,they go terrible around the rear of the sill as the inner one is to close inside and traps road sh!te.
Also the chassis legs can get a little ropey,that said they are a very reliable car in the mechanical sense,not much to watch out for unless high mileage.

 

Ryan, that's the problem I had before, they where all hanging rust heaps. The mileage and write up on this one seem pretty genuine.

Merv, B.S.C for you next time young man!

 

You're not turning ginger on us Ian?

 

Do you need JB's engine stand and crane picked up as well?

 

but only if your passing.
I need some of that funky penetrating spray as well pretty please .

Not ginger, just a bit strawberry blonde!

 

Ive git a brand new engine stand in me shed if you need it

 

hi ian hope the links work

Well, since you are still looking at them after finding the KA last time around it seems its an itch that isn't going to go away, so I say take a look.

 

Not working Oz.

 

Getting some extra pics of the underside and the body work sent through today hopefully.

Spoke to the owner of this one. Seems genuine.

 

Awesome cars! ive had three and nothing comes close to driving them! I then upgraded to the big brother rx7 and what a mistake!

Yes an impreza handles well but there is nothing ive found that compares to an mx5!

A few pics of two of mine.. the white one had no rear 1/4 hence the tape

 

Don't worry mate, I previously had a Mk2.5 Sport with all the toys.

 

After trawling past the Avon make up and cropped jeans, I thought you where referring to the type of person I would become if I bought a Mixer.

Then I git the link . I'll keep it in mind make.

Another one, closer, newer and I like the Cavalry Blue colour.

 

Off for a look at the Blue one on Wednesday.

 

6 speeder as well, hope it's a nice one

 

That's what caught my eye Kev. It's a much less stressful drive a better on fuel.

 

That is a hell of a lot of car for 2.5k, if it had a private plate it could pass for a much younger car.

Not sure aout those wheels though but thats an easy fix!

 

Have a plan for the wheels and a plate as well!

 

Jarv!

 

 

Jury's out on this one. Car was hot when I arrived, they cannot confirm if the cam belt as been done (12 years old, should have had two on age alone) and only does 8 miles a day, 4 to and 4 from work .

The Mk 1 Black one did not go as the viewer did not turn up. The current owner is big in the MX5 Owners club down in the South West and really knows his onions. I think the journey may be worth it.

I hope it's as good as it's sounds from the current owner,after speaking with you about it I would say it's a winner and the drive will make it worth while!!

 

He understands I'll travel and as assured me it'll be worth it. Fingers crossed.

But I have one more iron in the fire locally as well.

 

I like the black one ian youve been on about it for ages so do it, and ill ask the misses if theres any jobs going in House of fraser on the make up counter for you as you will need a change of career with these cars.

 

What's with the wooden steering wheel too? Looks nice apart from that
