Where to buy

[steady eddie]

Looking at various independent dealer sites in England and I would like some feedback from any Ph who might have experience of them

Goodwood Cars Berwick on Tweed
Dandycars London

Are there any others ?

I am in NI and looking for a Mk1.

Very few in NI, hence the question.

Budget. 1.5/2 k

Thanks

Dandy Cars were great when they were importing, now the prices seem high for cars that have been in the UK for a while. Seem to have a lot of auto which seem to sell for more. good wood cars have a very good rep, a one man band the last time I was looking around, sources some nice cars.
Supercar Classics not far from Liverpool would be more convenient for you, they used to import a lot of MK1s but not much now with the exchange rate and the relative low value of the cars. But they do seem to resell a lot of the cars from their previous customers so lots of nice ones

Thanks Typhoons.

I have contacted SuperClassics and they have a couple of cars which may suit.

I 'm sure Steve from Goodwood is a sound guy but Liverpool is much more convenient and they seem to
be genuine guys.

Hope to go over to view/buy soon.

Thanks

Why not buy privately ? Look on here and on MX5Nutz forum for some good cars. If there not rusty probably not too much else to worry about.

Hi Simon
I am in Ni and it's a pain to go over and view cars which are not as described.
With someone like Supercar Classics I can view 3/4 accurately described cars in one trip.
Also 12 month warranty and good reputation are a big plus.

Try http://www.paulsheardautos.com/ in Cheshire.

Surprised you can't find one in NI. Try the club mx5ni.com and see if they know of anyone selling.

I've bought two cars from Steve bloxham at goodwood and would recommend without reservation .

Thanks Brian

I have phoned Steve on 3 occasions and sent him an e mail.

Result no replies.

I am disappointed.

I want to buy a car from him but I'm now having some doubts.

I can't understand why someone in the business of selling cars doesn't bother to return
phone calls.

Steve phoned me and he seems a genuine bloke who certainly knows his MX 5's

Can anyone comment on Supercar Classics in Cheshire?.

They are a lot closer to me and their stock looks good in photos.

Anybody bought from them?.

I 'm trying to get as much info before buying.

Thanks

I bought my Mk1 from Superclassics. Must be one of the very few Mk1 imported last year. I bought a second one of a chap who bought his off SCC as well. All the cars they were selling seemed sound. There pricing reflects condition, £2000 gets a very good one and £2500 seems to be as mint as you can expect to find.

Buy the car, not the dealer.
