For Sale - Haynes Roadster 1.6 Turbo
Thought I would put this here before I commit it to eBay.
4K Walk around video on Youtube.

3000 miles since built

Fully IVAed
MOT 31st May 2025

Electronic Turbo Control ( 5psi - ALL OF IT )
Front Mounted Intercooler
420cc WRX Injectors
KnockSenseMS Knock Sensor
LC-2 Wideband
Toyota COP coils
1.8 Clutch
ATB LSD Differential
Aluminium 3 row Radiator
Leather RX1110 Seats

Custom Digital Megasquirt Dial
Clam Shell Wings included, not fitted
New top end gaskets including head gasket, New water pump, New timing belt, Recent oil change.
Few marks all over most of which can be sanded and polished as its gelcoat but I mostly leave them as I think it goes with period look of the car.
Interior pleather deteriorating but easy replace for someone looking at a kit car and again, I like the look of it with the car at the moment.
Great thing about using the 1.6 MX5 is that the engines were based on a turbo engine and are pretty bullet proof. A whole engine on ebay can be had
for as little as £150 so you can add a turbo and play with the power without much worry about hurting your pocket if something goes wrong.
Saying that this has been turboed for most of its life and still runs strong.
Full build thread on The Haynes Forum
Ill say £6000 because that's what I need for my new project but open to sensible offers.

Your build is way nicer than mine.  Glad if I had anything to do with inspiring it.
I would be happy to still keep it but I'm in a money saving mode in life at the moment and have my eyes on a new bike so happy to pass this on to
someone else to play with.
On that note, Would consider swaps for a Buell S1 or M2!
Cheers

It's actually difficult to put in words how amazing your car is, I just hope I can get somewhere near your quality of work with my own car.
Whoever has the money will be getting an absolute bargain.
Fingers crossed I'll see it again at a future kit car show with a new owner, hope the sale goes well.

Oh, if it does get to Ebay, I'd be happy to repost the link on a couple of Facebook groups if that works for you? I'm sure it would gain so
much interest.
