Wanted - Sprint mx5
Hi Everyone, in response to my previous thread im now looking for an Mx5 to go sprinting in, it will be in the road going class so needs to be road
legal, this is the best one i have found at the moment, except its bloomin miles away!
PH
I like this as i know i could sell the seats and wheels to cover bucket seats and wheels and tyres for sprinting, aswell as the splitter could be sold
etc to fund it and it looks like quite a tidy car i wouldnt mind driving every now and again on the road.
ok so what im after,
must -
1.8
no turbo/supercharger
no bodykit
current Mot
not be over 2.5k, cheaper the better.
preffered -
uk car
low mileage
taxed
near sg13 7tx!
cheers for any help, im quite taken with the one linked, think i could get it for a bit closer to 2k, maybe 2.2? but if you think something would be
better please let me know, im a complete novice and my requirements may be a bit off.
Ant.

yep kinda, decided to change tactics of instead of maxing out my budget, id get a car i can use lots and not be to worries about it, so cheap and fun,
mx5 ticks all the boxes, only downside is i may have to change my proffesion but its a second car so not sure on that one?

btw, he says "UK spec car - Cheaper insurance than Eunos" but it looks like it has the Eunos Japanese spec rear number plate recess with a
two-line reg no. A bit difficult to tell from the angle, but you can see that the gap between the rear light and the recess is fairly big, and that
the number plate lights are in the side of the recess. The UK wide number plate recess ends up a lot close to the rear lights. Also, the fog light is
in/on the bumper.
Worth checking, maybe, if only to see the reg doc is correct?
