After hankering after one of these for years and a change in circumstances where I commute by train it was time for something less practical.

Ecoboost Fiesta departed and goodbye to car finance I present to you my 1.6 Eunos which seems to be lacking any major rust, drives like a dream all for less than 2/3 of a Shed budget!

I'm smitten already after a jaunt from Mansfield to Sheffield via some lovely a/b roads.

Looks tidy. Really like the wheels, but it needs lowering a bit!

Miss mine, I didn't use it much, but why oh why did i get rid??!

I had a Mk1 V-spec Eunos which was lovely. Increasingly crusty sills and a new company car led me to sell it to a colleague for £1500, but I regret selling it now as it was great fun, reliable, and even with the rust would probably be worth £3k+ now. It was BRG with a tan interior, but the silver looks great too and will be much less of a bh to keep clean! Your ride height looks the same as mine did, also not lowered.

Enjoy!

You'll have a brilliant time! I've been hooked since I first drove one a few years ago.

This is my current Eunos. It's an S-Ltd and definitely a keeper:

make sure you keep the hood drain holes clear of crud, they fill up with water and overflow into the sills and rot out, killing the car.

go to the mx5 forums and ask about basic maintenance, you'll extend the life of the car significantly that way.

have fun...

Thanks for the positive responses all! The ride height is a bit comical but think its staying for now, wheels I am unsure of but similar thoughts as to the height.

Thanks for the pointers regarding maintenance/drain holes I'll keep on top of it.

Paint probably looks betters in pictures than up close but I'm already looking forward to getting home and going for a blast, the wonders of living next to the peak district.

It's very nice, I would love one of these at the price you paid, but finding one without rust is difficult!

Silver is definitely the fastest colour wink

Im on my second now (UK MK1 in rare spec I've stuck in the garage as it has no rot! - and a rotten as hell track day spec with cage Eunos as a daily)

Love the things, they get under your skin, they are cheap and simple to fix.

Get it on track! I'm doing Brands Indy again with mine tomorrow smile
