And a very warm welcome to you too…Ben!..See that you are a newbie - joined December 2008 or were you an existing member that re joined like I have?
Good to be back as I said, the car picture of your MK1 reminds me of my black eunos roadster that I sold on last year (a year ago to the month!)…I only ever owned 1 MK1, the rest mostly MK2 except for the Nevada in stratos blue, grey interior and grey matching soft top which was a MK2.5
I have got to see and even sit in a MK3…lovely…but I will say out of all the models, to me the MK1 has the edge!..I never thought I would get use to the pop up lights again (had a MK1 (AW11) toyota MR2 (pop up light version) and now that my MK1 has gone, funnily enough even a year on…when I turn on the engine on my MK2…my MK1…Cherish…springs to mind…I am really tempted to go back to a MK1…it would have to be black, blue or white, a 1.6 manual.
If it also came with a MK2 soft top and a matching hard top, leather interior, low mileage, fabulous condition and had air con and was unique (own individual style) …boy!..would I be tempted…you never know someone reading this may have such. Of course I would have to sell on Faith…everything I would want in a MK2, very low (and genuine mileage that has been warranted by the company who sold her to me, electric power all round, even the wing mirrors, double air bags, suspension is Mazda speed, alloys, top tyres, no rust, wax oiled, I’ve put in a latest bluetooth radio/cd player, clear side repeaters, bosch wipers, co-ordinated logo’d mats in black and bronze. Low and sleek, driven sensibly (but that could be down to my age or the fact I treasure a clean licence and respect the road speeds and like to keep my hard earned money in my pocket not paid out to unecessary fines !..Tip top maintained and a colour that not only stands out but to me, is tops!..My only wants for her are leather interior (which I hope to get done this year sometime), a stainless steel exhaust system…Got all the usual other stuff, rear heated soft top, boot mat, high wind deflector and standard factory one as well…so not much more to get apart from a burr wood fascia and accessories (hand brake lever, gear knob etc)…
Anyway…once again a big welcome and will get to have a look in at your topics and hopefully get to see more pics of your car
Best wishes
