Really considering one of these myself.
out of interest why does the back of the headlight look like it doesn't align with the bonnet? has one or other moved or is it an optical illusion?!

i have so seen those wheels before but can;t remember for the life of me where!

I do like that, need one at some point! Ive noticed alot of mx-5s look like that from certain angles.

It's because when working on the engine, some people like to lean on the headlight whilst it's flat. Unfortunately they are flimsy, so bend out of alignment with the bonnet. Fortunately, they are flimsy, so they easily bend back again.......

Yep, you should be able to put the bonnet up, and pull the back of the headlamp so it sits level again - no need to replace.

I've always loves the Mk1 MX5. The best shape of them all and light too.

Good choice. Love the tan roof too.
