Camouflage MX-5...

[carreauchompeur]

Want.

I am currently looking for a cheap Mx-5 and had a good lot of overtime this month. I think this might be a bit fatal.

I kinda like it.

I'm all over it! Would the insurance be impressed with "Camouflage" as a colour though?

[standfree93]

Ohhh. Want!
That would be great fun!

Saw this paintjob in the Nurburgring carpark

Love that Jap flag paintjob!

Seriously though, nobody is allowed to buy the camouflage one. I NEED it and will be placing a bid

Pretty sure that guy is a poster on the MX5 OC^

EDIT: What did they do to the poor '5 in the egay advert!?

Thinking of having a urban camo wrap on my westie!

I know this car, it's often parked at my local specialists about 2 minutes walk from my house

Broken? Or being lovingly maintained. It seems a decent price!

That camo one doesn't work for me - but the rising sun one does!

Not sure, but it's there so often I was under the impression the guy works there!

ETA: If I see it there this week I'll stop and give it the once over, if you like?

Thanks! It may well be he works there, in which case it seems a little suspicious for it to be Fleabayed. However, it's mightily cheap and his ad seems to suggest offers might be in order so I will give him a ring tomorrow morning.

Thanks very much for the offer to look at it, however the auction ends tomorrow lunchtime! I would probably bid on the proviso that the questions I've sent regarding general condition are correct. Hell, it's just over 500 quid, no biggie!

Fair 'nuff! I don't think the garage would sell it as they generally only sell pristine original UK examples from £3.5k up. Good bunch of guys though, I p/ex'd my Merlot for my current 10AE there.

As you say, no biggie at that price. Get it won!

Yep, fingers crossed- Thanks for the info, it does bode well to be honest. And there's not a great deal to go wrong, provided it's not rotten. Now can we all stop posting and let this thread fade before some other bugger buys it?

Great news. I look forward to seeing it out and about.
