Good hunting.
They are out there…if somewhat rarefied.
You know what to “look for” I presume. :wink:

If my memory serves me well… :slight_smile:

Mike - What is your budget? I have a very nice one (05) which I have just spent a lot on getting it sorted but am probably looking to replace with a late NC.

Thanks for the message.
Depends what you mean by ‘sorted’?
Repaired? Or sorted’, as in tuned, mods, alloys etc :slight_smile:
I have a decent budget for the right car. Could you let me have a few more details, maybe some pics and we can take it from there.

Are you looking for something in amazing condition, or something with MOT but a project?
I have the latter i could be persuaded to sell. 03, blue, 105k, torsen t2 lsd, had a new clutch also. chassis rails have been done but rear arches and sills are in need. Paintwork, okay.

Thanks, but I want something in amazing, cherished condition so i can cherish it some more and keep it in amazing condition :slight_smile:

I knew that registration was familiar… :innocent:

Hey Ian :slight_smile:
Yeh he was a fine wee 5. Sold to a bobby in Troon, hopefully still going strong.
I liked it that much, I want another one!

Nice picture and great to see it’s still going.

Wow! Great to see ‘Stu’ still on the road, and looking mean! So may happy memories in that car :slight_smile:

Made a few memories myself too. Very close name to what I’ve called her actually, I’ve called her “Blu” (creative I know​:joy:) I’ve got a Instagram it’s That_blu_MX-5

Aaaaaw sweet. So cool. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

What actual work did you have to do it when you got it? When I sold it Stu had hit a kerb in the snow, rear left alloy buckled and suspension bu**ered.

I’’l check out the insta :+1:


I picked it up from a garage near Stoke on Trent had some 17 inch rims on, which I actually crashed and ended up bending along with the front subframe :sweat_smile:. And yeah I was confused because it had the wrong suspension on it, just had standard MK2 suspension not the ones the SVTs are supposed to have. And it was mad Rusty :joy: ofc aren’t they all. So I did the full length of Sills, rear quarter and chassis legs. Did it have the blue come air intake when you had it? I’ve kept that it’s pretty nice.
