54 reg 1.8 Sport

[rfn]

Going to look at a 54 plate sport tomorrow hopefully.

It's got the later style sport wheels and 6 speed gearbox.

Does this mean it has an LSD too?
Does it have Aircon (suspect not)?
Do all MX-5s of this age have glass rear screens (the photos are with the roof down)

Only if the first owner ticked the a/c box on the optional extras list.

Didn't realise A/C was still an option then - Can't tell from the photos whether it has or not!

Are they fairly manageable without A/C - aside misting up on cold mornings?

Awesome - thanks for your help! .

Went to look at it - it was very nice and in good condition with just 27k.

A little over my price boundary (£7k) and the guy couldn't quote me a P/X (Doubt I'd have liked it if he could anyway)

It didn't have air-con, but that doesn't neccesarily bother me.

Cheers for the replies.

Are you getting it then?

Sadly not. I need to sell my car first and knowing my luck it'll be gone before that happens. Here's hoping though! .

Doooooooooooooooo iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!

I'll see. I really like the colour, don't see many grey ones about.

After the mondeo, trust me, you'll love it.

Have you test driven it?

Not yet - the guy was dealing with another customer when I went to look at it and I didn't have time to hang around. I drove a 1.6 Arizona back in the summer and thought it was great, and drive a mate's Mk3 occasionally, so hoping it will be a combination of these!

I've sent the guy selling it an email asking him to give me a ring so I can arrange to go back either tomorrow or during the week.

Edit: Well, I've put the Mondeo up for sale this morning - fingers crossed .

Grey is definitely the best colour. Mine is grey. Mine is also for sale

I shall miss it.

How come yours is up for sale?

Just wanted to say thanks for all the help I've had in my few threads in this section. Hope to take a bigger part now that I own one! Pick it up next week, can't wait! .

Also: Thanks so much to Chris (8Ace). The car is lovely and I can't wait to drive it on Sunday! Spent much of today polishing it!
