I actually thought that MX5s were one of the exceptions to that rule? That unless you were unlucky and landed a rare pup, they are much less likely than most cars to require significant fettling or upkeep.

My Mk2 bought on eBay with 100k on the clock has needed nothing in 2,000 miles except fluids, A/C regas and a geo, and I'm about to take it on a 3,500 mile Euro hoon.

I used the word 'some' purposely. Lots of niggly little things will go wrong as it is an old car. Also, the modding bug will likely take hold...

[Gizmo!]

Agreed - I think the point is that things will break but everything costs pennies.

Yup, I was shocked that new discs and pads were £180 all round, fitted. By comparison, my 206GTi was closer to £500!

I should expand on my point above - whilst nothing really goes wrong as such, there are a lot of wear and tear items that will need replacing. Mainly brakes, dampers, clutch, slave cyclinders, gaskets etc.etc.
