This one to be precise

few bits of paint but nothing too major, will tide me over until the exige is done, plus it keeps SWMBO quiet, as she detests the exige frown

I bet you spend atleast £500+ on stuff for it. You can't stop yourself once you start.. Trust me.

Looks good and nicely specced, just a couple cosmetic niggles remains to address there! I'd say that's a lot of car for a relatively small price tag too.

I like it, A bit more modern looking than the older shape even if slightly more feminine but I prefer this one!

I'd really like a cheap one, then fit it with steel rims, paint the bonnet matt black and fettle the handling a bit.

Sounds like you could have a real crap wagon on your hands!

Nice model - we have one too, of similar mileage. You've done your due diligence on MX5 sills, haven't you?

We're just about to do ours...

I'm going to have all the wheels off this weekend, get the arch liners off and give everything a good clean. Will address the lack of recent service history by changing all filters and oil, new discs and pads too and get the cam belt done. Will wait to get the cills done until the MOT at the end of October.
