For Sale: MX5 Haynes Roadster

Putting my Haynes Roadster up for sale.
Selling because I've sort of lost interest now it's finished and want to release space and funds...

It's based on the Saturn plans using a 1.6 MX5 donor.

IVA'd July 2013 and registered on an age related J plate.
First MOT not due until 2016

I've given the engine a full rebuild since building the car, replacing the piston rings and bottom end bearings (and of course all seals and gaskets!).
It's nicely run in and pulls nice and strong. Feels very quick for a poky little 1.6!

Whilst it's mechanically solid, I didn't put too much work into the cosmetics.
Looks good from 10-20 feet, but slightly ropey closer up...
The body work was purchased as seconds and there's various little marks scratches and cracks over the car.
Also I was a little bit ham-fisted basing the aluminium panels into place...

Can provide more details photos etc on request.

Car is based in St Ives, Cambridgeshire

Open to offers, but looking for close(ish) to £4000.

fancy a swap with the Gemini? Do like it, but I miss the seven style.

I'm in norwich if you fancied a look.

Tempting! I'll have to decline though, trying to cut down on the number of vehicles I own!

Haven't bothered trying to sell this over the winter. Thought I'd give it a little bump now spring is in the air.
