I've gone and done it...

[71notout]

I'm currently selling my existing motor, and today I went and put a deposit down on a 2003 MX5 1.8 Montana.

It's lovely, BRG Mica, with tan leather, factory hardtop, AC and heated seats.

53K miles, mint condition.

Really looking forward to picking it up and getting the hardtop off for some summer motoring.

Looks like i'll be spending some more time around these parts...

Autotrader picures for now.

That's a fantastic colour combination!

May I ask roughly what it cost?

[71notout]

Roughly between £5K and £6K

[MX7]

Very nice. The interior does look a lot more modern than my Mk1, but heated seats in a 5?!

Enjoy.

It gets a wee but chilly in the winter up here in Scotland!

You'll love it Steven

Have you driven it? Daft question, I know!

Edit: You don't hang around do you? It took me nearly 5 months to find mine, and I ended up travelling to West Sussex to get it!

Congrats chap!

Heated leather is fabulous!
It allowed me to have the roof down when I went into work when it was -10 here!

Hey guys, keep it down will you! If my girlfriend finds out you can get a MX5 with heated seats I'll be forced to trade mine in. It's her favourite thing about my other car!

Aye, took it for a quick spin - feels lovely and tight! Steering wheel and short gearknob very tactile.

It's also got a VDO Dayton sat nav system fitted with an LCD screen which fits onto a bracket to the left of the headunit - nice wee result.

Lovely colour, can't wait to get waxing it. I half-expected there to be something wrong with it, as for the price, it's a steal! First one I view and it's a peach.

Mrs Maser loves the heated seats in her '5!

Looks really nice Steven, I've had mine three weeks now and absolutely loving it.

[71notout]

Woohoo - the Octavia went this morning, down to Bristol so I should get the MX5 next week sometime

Looks lovely does that, I have also gone and done it, put a deposit down on a lovely blue 99 1.8s. Went to give it a spin today with the other half in tow, we both love it. Its abit rough around the edges but a good valet and a couple hours changing some interior trim and it will be lovely!!

Just need to sell my car now, anyone want to buy a Focus TDCI?
