Finding an automatic Mk1 or Mk 2 MX5 ...

[jchallis]

Looking out for a nice auto mx5 for the Mrs, to replace her lovely Arizona that my father in law now runs. I've been looking in all the obvious places but nothing really top notch has really caught my eye. Have I missed anything obvious that you may have seen? Thinking of spending between £2-3k on something really good quality. Private purchase preferred.

My girlfriend and I have just bought an Automatic MK1 1.6 the weekend just gone. Good one's seem to be quite hard to come by... No idea on MK2 prices, but ours was £1400. No rust, great condition all round really.

Try carandclassic.co.uk if you haven't already.

Bought this for my father-in-law earlier this summer for 1250. Mint car, makes me feel a bit 2nd class in my mk1

Look around, they are out there at the right price...

If you ring Paul at PH sportscars Derby on 01332 799298.

Tell him Oliver sent you (MX5 and Porsche bits bought a bumper off him on the weekend) lovely chap and he has a showroom full of very nice MX5s a good proportion of which are Autos as we were chatting about them on Saturday, he was commenting the decent quality cars he was getting now were generally Autos as they have been looked after.

It's not a pretty main dealer but they are straight and turn out good quality work, if they haven't got a car in stock to suit then provided your budget is realistic they will build you one.
