Hi everyone. I love the site and the fact that you run an owners "club" for yourselves and provide so much information for someone looking to get themselves an mx-5. I fell in love with these at a stunt day down in Arklow and I would love to get one to run as a second car. So I am looking for a Mark 1 mx-5, preferably '89 to '91 but any early car would be great, hopefully with no rust. If anyone can help me out, I would be very happy.
Many thanks

1989 cars will be as rare as hell. Even a 1990 model would be difficult enough to find at the this stage. Possible but difficult ! If you want pretty decent Mk1 then I would consider all years to 96/97. Personally, I like the '94 and earlier cars myself for interior reasons.

welcome to the forum!

Thanks for the advice and thank you for the welcome Steve.
On another note, do you know how I would apply for membership to the mx5 owners club> And is there any way of changing my user name? I have never posted to a forum in my life, as should be quite obvious to everyone. This is the first time I have thought I'd want to join one.
Many thanks

Welcome to the forum. You could always consider buying an older car with issue's and get it restored to a good standard. Then you know you have a good early car and in the long run an investment. The mk1's are starting to grow in value.

Sure, send an email to info@mx5ireland.com with the username you'd prefer and I'll change it.

Hi and welcome, I know it’s a mk1 you’re interested in but if you can’t find one at a reasonable price there’s a 98 mk2 on carzone for €1500 asking price, looks like it needs work but it comes with a hardtop which itself is worth about €400, not my car or anything but as the saying goes “ I saw this and thought of you “
