My wife has a birthday coming up and has always liked MX5s.

A few years back I scratched the rear wheel drive sports car itch and thought it was out of my system. But I got thinking and man mathed myself into delighting her and getting a rear drive cabrio again.

She doesn't know it yet, but she is driving this home on Saturday..

Clicky

I've had a quick look through the MOT history, and it seems to have had the sills and seatbelt anchorages done. Unless there are some dodgy MOTs. The chap selling it was very confident that it was straight and genuine and he is happy for any inspection on it.

I'm quite looking forward to a bit of arse out action again !! hehe

First thing to go are those gopping rear lights though.

You’re right about the rear lights- minging.

I’ve still got my Griff but have as much fun in my MX5. They’re so cheap to fiddle with & no Tvr tax.

That's parked outside where I get my MOTs done. Bought from the place next door?
Good luck and I hope you enjoy it too.

Look at the front chassis arms. They’re a known issue.

Christ those rear lights are terrible. If you want a standard mk2.5 pair just message me.
