New Member in Basingstoke

Hi. I’m going to view, and very probably purchase, my first MX-5 on Tuesday.

It’s an NC1 - 2006 2.0 with 38000 miles, in silver.

It’s going to be quite the change from my current car, a BMW 320d running around 210 bhp, but it’s time to move on and try something different after nearly seven years in the Beemer.

Welcome from Aberdeenshire :scotland:. Show us a picture when you get it. Very low mileage! :+1:

Yes will do! The low mileage is what attracted me from the many others out there.

I also have a 2.0 NC1 but it’s 2009 and now has 81000. Still drives beautifully though.

Congratulations. I also bought a 2006 NC in silver 2 years ago. Milage was 38 000. I had a 1.6 NB before and my wife a 2L ND. I can honestly say that every drive is a pleasure. The aft underside was pretty rusty but I fixed that with Lanogard. The Bilsteins weren’t their best anymore but that was an easy fix by replacing them with Meisters.

I know you will have loads of fun. Enjoy!
