Just got my first MX5 due to two reasons.... my E30 325i Sport failing its MOT on rust, and the fact three of my mates have MX5s and love them!

It's a black MK1 1.8 UK Model. Leather seats & elec windows, No PAS or ABS.

Now I can finally see what all the hype is about. It really does make me smile! I can drive it with much more confidence than the E30. The brakes are better and the cornering ability is awesome. I do however miss the torque of the straight 6 in the E30 and of course the sound, but the MX5 is still quick enough on a twisty road!

No rust whatsoever either. Also came with some interesting history... it was registered on Diplomat plates for 6 years from new, driven by an ambassador from the High Commission of Cyprus
