It looks nice, got to be worth a look yes

Take money and make a bid, It's probably worth £2k of anyones money, plus the sun is shining so prices are going to rise a bit, so good cars probably won't sit long.......

Check the hood (for cracks/splits etc), the sills (for rust) and the history.

Cambelt should have been changed at 60k.

I am posting this assuming you have no knowledge of MX5, apologies if you do!

I think £2300 is an absolute bargain for a 2003 carwink

i guess 2003 may be the import year? If so would it be under the pre or post march 2001 car tax rules?

the price has come down a bit now so I'll take a look at it in the flesh...does that look like water damage on the driver#s seat to anyone, or maybe just the sun?

? Looks like an over priced H reg mk1? If I was buying another I'd either be expecting a 1.8 Eunos 1994 on for say £2500 or more sensibly i'd buy a quality turbo converted 1.8 for £6000, as you do get bored of the lack of power if you've had fast stuff before and it you buy a non turbo you will end up turbing it for several time the price of the car.

I got my 1997 mk1 Eunos S-Spec 2.5 years ago for £4000
