MX5 Auction

A 1998 limited edition is up for auction, as below. If anyone interested.

It might just be me being fussy but there appear to be a couple of shades of green on that and the bonnet fit seems a bit off.

“Roll bar installed”

Can’t see one - other than something that looks like a brace bar behind the seats.

A tweak of the headlamp covers to align with the bonnet.:+1:
Not the best of pics TBH a 20 footer maybe 30. I spy that previous 2 year resto has failed.

I thought that but then there appears to be a gap on the lhs of the front lip.

Actually looking closer that’s pretty rough. Rust coming through, body lines not sanded back properly and filler coming through.

15 bids and we’re up to £1400.

I saw all that but I was reluctant to comment any further. Hope any prospective bidder/buyer has clocked it, it’ll want a few £’s spending on it.
The auction company has been a little economical with it’s description of body condition.:thinking:

“The bodywork is generally in good condition and paintwork looks smart overall”

At leas two colours and neither of them shine. Bodywork in good condition is broadly correct as long as you ignore the front wings, rear arches and outer sills, who knows about the inner ones.

“While the soft top exhibits a little wear, we’re informed that it does not leak at all”

A little wear? Ten rips and tears that I count.

Interior is quite nice and it does come with a hardtop so around £1,500 where it is now probably about right. As long as the buyer knows it’s going to need about £4k spending to make it a nice one.
