Hello Everyone

Name is Paul and I have recently bought this 2010 MX-5 20th Anniversary Edition from my work,

I am a Qualified Mazda Technician based in South Yorkshire and this car was part exchanged at our dealership on a new ND model. I just had to have it. went straight to the sales manager and made a deal.
The car is sadly a bit rough and was in desperate need of some TLC. It has some rust that desperately needed fixing underneath. The gearbox was leaking oil like crazy, the exhaust was broken. rear brakes locked up…the list goes on.

After a few weeks of working after hours it is finally in a running state and i am looking forward to bringing it to car meets and meeting new people in the community :smile:
