Another Roadster joins the family

I’ve just been out for a drive with my parents (both have just retired) to MX5 City to look at a yellow MK1 Roadster.  The idea was just to go and look around at what was on offer today then go elsewhere in the week looking before making ones mind up.  Well it didn’t go to plan and they fell in love with a 94 yellow 1.8 J-Ltd11 Auto (had to be an Auto as thats what they like to drive now).  The 5 was washed for us while we were looking around at the others for sale.  We took it for a drive, all felt good and quite responsive for an auto I must say.  Its very original apart from its had a repaint at some point but still looks fine and is all standard spec.  They liked it that much that a deal was struck and they will be picking it up next Tuesday once it been serviced, M.O.T’d etc etc.  

Also they will be joining the MX5OC[:D]

 Shows that your parents have immpeccable taste!

I think that it’s great that the 5 appeals to all age groups (retirement is looming for me soon). Very few cars seem to have such wide appeal - a real 17 - 70 car!

Just shows how right the designers got it!   [:D]

 

Your parents have good taste indeed!

 

I’m wondering what their reaction will be when you say to them you are just ‘borrowing’ the car for the afternoon[:)]
