Evening all, I'm looking to get a pre-1997 MX5 MK1 and am trying to get to grips with the types. From what I understand these are the basic groups:

1.6, UK: Alright, a bit underpowered but basically good car. Black interior and few options.

1.8, UK: Better, more reliable but still that dark interior and few options.

Eunos: Japanese import attracting higher costs for servicing and insurance. Better interior with the option for air con, wooden steering wheel and trim.

How's that? Close to how it is or wildly off?

I'm being very picky and looking for a car with a tan interior and preferably a polished wooden steering wheel. I'd like to spend less than £2000 and I don't mind dents and scratches as long as the roof and doors are ok. Any suggestions helping in this will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
