MX5 Wanted
Posted: Wed, 25 Aug 2010 10:37 +0000Hi all,
Haven't posted here before but I'm sure a few of us know each other from diverse fora and car meets.
As posted over on Octane a couple of times, I am looking for an MX5. The budget is between €2k and €5k but I would spend extra for the right car.
Ideally I am hoping for an early 1.6, of which my favourite would be a V-Spec Nardi. Other contenders are a fast road/track prepped car, followed by a special edition like the R-Limited and at the top end, a Mk2 RS. Not that hot on a Mk1 1.8 as I think the 1.6 is just a bit sweeter, but would naturally consider it in the right car.
I am not looking for something needing major work, nor do I want anything that has been questionably modified, trashed or crashed. On an earlier car, I don't mind if the exterior is slightly scruffy/consistent with age and if the car needs consumables it's not a biggie either. Nothing needing VRT/without an NCT either, I want to get in and drive, not be waiting for a test or trekking to a VRO.
There's not a lot of ads on here (understandably, since most on here already have, or had an MX5) but if anyone is selling or you know of one coming up for sale please let me know.
