Just bought my third MX5. 1995 1.8iS manual in white with 10mths MOT completely unseen. £401 but suspect some serious work required long term. Will find out this evening!
Good luck. Don't forget to post pictures.

Well I got it home. And it's fine! 137,000 miles but seems pretty darn good, alloys are mint, roof in good nic too.

I do think after two 1.8 and an early 1.6 that the 1.6 is the sweeter unit. However, very chuffed.

Looks great Matt. Not sure about the black sills, but other than that looks clean.

A lot of UK cars seem to be like that. And not all due to rust repairs, many came from the factory like it.
