Good Morning, I’m Jon, I had a couple of Mk1s a long time ago and decided to return to enjoyable driving. Previously my mk1s had been my daily, I need to move large model steam engines around so having an MX-5 this time round has gone from being a first car to a second car exercise.
I found this lovely Mk1 in Sussex but apparently it lived more recently in Andover, not far from where I grew up. If anyone recognises it I would love to hear from you. It had a few mods which I’ve set back to standard; I’m more interested in having a well looked after, largely standard car these days, It comes with getting old! Only modification to note is the Hand Controls I use as I am an amputee. It’s a manual, but my left leg is still there so the clutch isn’t a problem.
Biggest shock to the system was how expensive MX5s have got. This one cost me 2.5x the price of my first one. I guess that’s what happens when the secret gets out.
Anyway, if you recognise the car, let me know. With my previous MX5s (H29 GNF and J826RTA) I used to hang around with the Moonrakers in Wiltshire.
