Continuing the discussion from 1991 MX5 Mark 1 Special Edition British Racing Green (UK Market Car)??:
Good afternoon. Great looking car! We have one of these Mk1 limited editions, no 154. It has been in our ‘extended’ family for most of its life & was given to one of my sons about 10 years ago, so was a great first car for hi in his youth! It’s been in store & SORN for the last 3 yers but just out now. It has a immobiliser which drains the battery, but apart from that starts a treat & still nips along with that great rear wheel drive push and lovely short gear changes. It has failed its MOT, as we expected, nothing engine wise but needing welding due to some quite extensive rust on the underside offside near the rear wheel arch. When we got it, it had been garaged for 18 months and had water sloshing around above the sill, due to a blocked drain near the top seatbelt fix, so sadly the rust had set in on the inside. So we will be doing that and a few other bits to get her back on the road for a summer of fun. The wheels are looking rather sad, no scuffing but the chrome on the ‘spokes’ and rims has flaked & corroded. Yours look as if they have been resurfaced and left a steel, could you advise of any contacts who could assist with this? A couple of pics attached, N
