1991 Eunos Roadster V-Special
Discussion
I just picked this up today from Goodwood Sportscars in Berwick.
It's a 1991 Eunos Roadster, V-Special in Brilliant Black.
It was freshly imported from Japan earlier this year and is in really clean condition.
Recent work has included:
Replacement long nose crank engine
New mohair hood with glass screen
Retrimmed seats
Replacement doorcards
Respray
New exhaust backbox
New battery
Full service
The front bumper had no holes drilled into it so I asked Steve if he would fit an offset plate rather than drill holes in the bumper, and to be honest, I am not a fan of the black plastic plinths a lot of 5's have.
I drove her up from Berwick today, went the Duns road as it's a much nicer drive than the A1 and she sat at a steady 60 all the way, heaters on full blast (i'd forgotten how good the heater in a 5 is!).
Immediate plans are for an OEM front lip, and replace the MX-5 badge with a Eunos one on the rear, then maybe some suspension and a change to 15" wheels but the Daisies are in very good condition so no rush.
Anyway, enough chat, here are some pics:
And here she is next to her big sister, my daily driver CX-7:

Superb, that interior look's lovely, have those seats in my Lotus Elite, very comfortable.
Was very tempted by one of these recently, was modified with nice JDM wheels and a Hardtop (was for sale on RR forum), same colour interior.
Surprised as i hadn't really considered an MX5 before.

Well although she looks really good in the photos, once I washed her, it was obvious there was some clouding on the paint, especially the front wings and bonnet.
So after doing my chores over the weekend, I had earned a day to myself so I spent 6 hours on the car with my Rotary polisher to cut back the paint a little. I then put a fresh coat of Natty's wax to give a nice wet look shine.
Now she is up to my standards of clean
