Hi all, just recently got my first mx5 and although it was more of an emergency purchase (my daily driver has been in an accident) i’m actually liking it quite a lot!

I’ll post some pics this weekend but its a bog standard 89 import in silver with a new blue roof :slight_smile: a few dents and a few little faults but it was bargain of the century :slight_smile: her only downfall really is that she is an auto but it makes for some nice gentle cruising instead of my usual style :wink:

Roll on summer :slight_smile:

Welcome to MX5 ownership.

It may be an emergency car but you’ll not want to get rid when the other car is ready.
You wait for the summer too with the hood down … especially at night !! [:D]

I think he is more than half way there already or he wouldn’t have bothered to seek our website out.

Thanks for the welcome :slight_smile:

My initial idea was to keep her untill my car was back on the road and sell her come sumertime but after having lots of fun in her over the past couple of days plus the fact i’ve always loved the looks of the series 1 I may very well keep her…

I’m even starting to like the automatic gearbox lol :slight_smile:

I’ll no doubt be asking loads of questions over the coming months as she needs a few jobs doing (don’t worry, will use the search feature first :wink: )

Oh, sod it, here’s my first :slight_smile:

Did the imports come as standard with white lockwood dials? I’ve seen a few pictures of the interior of S1’s but never seen the white dials before…

Thanks,
Mark

In a word no[;)] The standard dial faces are black with white lettering

Cool :slight_smile:

Well there’s my first mod, it’s a slippery slope down the modding curve now :slight_smile: once you start you just can’t stop lol

I would have thought I learned my lesson from my other car but… NO :slight_smile:

Time for some new wheels m’thinks!

Hi Darkside, I’m a newbie aswell and in Teesside, maybe we’ll pass each other on the road, If you see some loony waving from a red 95 roadster with a cheshire cat grin, that’ll be me.
