WANTED MX-5
Ajohnston_10 - 12/8/13 at 09:28 AM

Hi folks,

Starting to prepare for my 7 project, however, one problem, i cant seem to find a 1.8 mx-5 for a decent price up my neck of the woods. Was wondering if anyone is selling or knows of a mx-5 for sale. im not looking at spending alot on the car, under £600.

I've been trying too look out for cheep MOT fails or damaged cars with running gear intact.

Anyones help would be much appriciated.

Cheers, Ally

Problem seems to be down south.CFC poisoning from the hairspray has claimed a few victims.These people are buying the cars up and actually driving them.....

I'd let mine go for that, but not exactly round the corner!

not a lot to tell, 1.8 UK reg MX5 on an M plate, MOT till september, tax a bit longer I think. running gear all fine, about 85k on the clock. recently had new belts, slight whine on water pump (was going to fix over winter).

Big dent in rear offside wing at the mo (old lady drove into it whilst parked!) which is due to be repaired. Otherwise body is ok for age.

thefreak-I've actually already seen yours on ebay the other day. I see it has abit of interest, how much are you looking for?

norfolkluegojnr- That sounds like a decent car. Do you think it would survive the journey back upto scotland? And how much are you looking for?

Thanks again for the quick replys and help!

Sorry, should have said NTDWM It's one I've had on my watched list this week but Gloucester to Halifax is a bit of a trek and I'd only need it for spares for the race car

Norfolkluegojnr - 12/8/13 at 10:56 AM

I'm sure it would survive - i've been running it as a weekend car for the summer (until it got bashed), done a good few hundred in it.

u2u me your email and i'll send some pics over.

Happy to help

If you do a deal and want to come down on the train to collect, I could pick you up and take you to it depending where it is.
