Picked up an NA at the end of July after selling my old ND a couple of years ago.
Really glad to be back owning an MX5!
The MX5 in question is a 1997 NA in British Racing Green, in very nice condition and going over some minor jobs at the moment. Haven’t got any great pictures handy but this one shows it off!
At the time the dealership offered to buy it back off me and with the other car in the household being an Abarth 595 we had a big issue with car space, ended up getting something bigger.
In some ways I regret it but I think I prefer the NA, as it’s not a daily for either of us, the space concerns aren’t a big deal now!
Honestly I’m not that fond of driving the Abarth, I’ve spent most of my time driving in coupes and roadsters so find the seating position too up right and the pedals too close together.
It is quite fun to drive now and then but I wouldn’t want to drive it as a daily. Luckily it’s the other half’s car so I don’t have to drive it too often but much prefer my 2 series over it.
Oh nice! Prefer it up in MK? I’ve considered a move a bit further up but kept on thinking staying this way would be a better option (for better or worse).
Just a thought, the next meet at Henry Street is the same day as the National Rally
MX5OC South Central are meeting at Black Bushe Airport cafe for breakfast and driving together to the rally. May be you can join us?
