Turbo MX-5 – 220bhp – ME442 – AIM Dash – Hardtop – 39k Miles

Selling my turbo MX-5 as it barely gets driven now and seems a shame for it to sit in the garage unused.

I work as a rear-end mechanic in Formula 1 and this car has been built with the same mindset I apply professionally — attention to detail, reliability and doing things properly the first time. All of the work has been completed by myself to a very high standard, with mapping carried out professionally. It’s been an enjoyable long-term project and has been used since as a weekend car for when I’m back in the UK.

Potential uses are as a weekend car, cars and coffee style events. Suitable for track use, track days etc. It could be modified further to suit drifting, hill climb or other motorsport events.

These were next on my list to sort but I’ve simply run out of time to use the car properly.

I’m in no rush to sell the car so won’t respond to silly offers/swaps.
