Is it wrong that part of me really wants to see if that can be saved? I know it would make no financial sense whatsoever given how cheap Mk1 MX5s are anyway but god help me if I had the room...

It didn't look too bad until I got to the picture that shows it having no rear screen! Imagine sitting through a winter as damp as last in that condition.

Far, far worse than that has been restored but the finished car has invariably been more exotic than a MX5.

It is near Acharacle, around 40 miles west of Fort William.

Indeed.. a sobering tale of woe that helps me curb my urges to adopt stray cars! Although in all fairness it took some SERIOUS neglect to fully kill the poor old tank

It's saveable very easily, as long as chassis is fine and engine goes alright, 2k or so turns it into a very decent kit car for some track fun... DO IT

I don't think the location will exactly help the sale either... Fair play on him for being honest though!
