I thought that, but the boot looks quite fresh.

mileage isn't everything. I like MX5's but lots more interesting stuff for 7 grand.

That is very nice! Hmm, you've got me thinking now... Wonder if it's any good in reality though.

Can't help but feel that it's a bit of a waste. S2000 money too!

I think the interior looks minty fresh myself.I bet that's just the camera flash making it look a bit more worn.My old seats and carpet looked pretty mint in the flesh, but the camera + flash made them look like 100k items!

No point paying that though if you intend to drive it imho.Collectors only I would say.My new (to me) 1994 1.8 has covered 60ish k miles and cost me a grand with numerous spares.I sold off some of the bits it came with and with the tax on it till Feb next year, it's effectively cost me £400 for a rust free, low mileage example.It's not 100% mint body wise as it has a small knock on a bumper corner and a couple of chips/car park dents, but overall, it's a superb car.It's only covered 7k miles in the last 5 years and came with almost every single bill and receipt you could wish for, including all import and shipping documents.I doubt you would get several thousand pounds worth of extra driving pleasure from an 8k one.

EDIT.Someone on Facebook saw this car today and has confirmed the car and interior was as new.
