Just been offered an MX-5

[A S P]

well sort of..

Friend has an ageing 90H mk 1 that is mechanically sound but has lived on the streets of London for too long. Covered in dents, bust locks and needing a new hood, he was going to scrap it when he replaced it with a 330cd convertible last week. He just took it for a drive and realised it was too good to scrap (despite being worth fk all), so has offered it to me for a few years if I fix the cosmetic stuff. He's also offered to pay for the parts, just need to sneak a supercharger in then

Looking forward to my MX-5 baptism!

You lucky bd!

Don't worry about the condition s'long as it's mechanically sound.

You'll be too busy driving the bloody doors off the thing searching out roundabouts to care in the slightest

Found a picture, the nearside front wing has been hit since but probably just easier to get a replacement from a breakers/ebay and fit myself. Looking forward to plenty of roof-down fun, going to be garaged at home/work so don't really need a new roof

The thing is, I quite like the none-pristine look, its a modern day shagged MGB, only difference this won't *hopefully* leave me stranded. That is a piece of paper wedged into the passenger door to hold up the window. That'll be the first fix then.

So he is giving you a car and paying for it to be fixed up? Can't really go wrong..... Have a good year or two in her (I know this is going to be very unpopular BUT I would suggest you put the details in writing because otherwise we will see another thread on this in a year or two)..
