Please check the front chassis rails for rust, many Mk2 MX5s are really starting to suffer badly in that area.

A quick google will reveal all.

Nice looking car. I loved my Mk 2.

As above, front chassis rails are a weak point on Mk2/2.5s, generally they seem to be worse on UK cars than imports. And they are a pain in the arse to sort out.

Sticky tyres?! frownwink

I believe the chassis rails are ok, car has passed recent mots with no advisories but i will investigate tonight.

Car is currently on T1R's but they've only got a few more thousand miles in them, probably will replace them with the same as the car feels good.
