I never thought to post in here when I first joined, an oversight I plan on rectifying!
Ever since I was very little I was in love with the Mk1 MX5, inspired in part due to one of my aunts having one probably.
When I finally passed my test at the end of last year I knew immediately what I wanted to get! After a long search I stumbled upon a candidate which ticked all the boxes and went to see her - love at first sight.

On the test drive
I love the colour on the Berkeley edition, and there is a certain amount of pride in having a somewhat rarer model. My American friends have been suitably envious!
I plan on doing some tasteful changes, on the hunt for a Nardi wooden wheel as we speak, and the original suspension is a bit tired – but really want to keep her as stock as possible.
Learning how to maintain a car of this comparable vintage has been great fun and very educational - so far I’ve changed the transmission fluid, gear-stick rubber boots, rear light gaskets, front headlamp units and rear brake calipers and slider pins.
She really is my pride and joy, and I hope to be able to drive her for many years yet!
