Getting back into an MX-5...

So, after talking about this car - http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

it whetted my appetite and got me looking around at all MX5s, I started focusing more on Mk1 as my old one was a MK2.5 so didn't want to revisit old ground. Mk3 would have also been nice but looking forward to getting a classic instead.

I spoke to Steve at Goodwood Sportscars, and long story short, I have put a deposit down against a fresh import V-Special.

It's 1.6, black with tan leather and is absolutely minted.

Steve is going to fit a new mohair hood, fix a few wee jobs that need sorting and get it registered so I should hopefully pick it up in a couple of weeks.

Hoping it will make a nice wee stablemate for my CX-7.

Photos will follow when I pick her up

Will be watching this one with interest - I've been contemplating buying from Goodwood Sportscars for a while now. It'll be good if the cars meet the descriptions!

Well the bodywork is spotless bud - underside is a fresh as a daisy!

Steve has had the seats retrimmed, and with a new mohair hood she should look braw.

Welcome to the V-Special club.

Sounds good - pics required when she arrives...

Steve's a good guy, I bought a fine 1.6 Mk1 Eunos from him last year. Enjoyed about 5000 trouble free miles so far. I know I paid more than the typical ebay bargain but the quality of the car has shone through so far. Have fun!
