Bought this of Haydn on here!
Spent a good bit of time and money getting it running right and fixing problems like oil line, gaskets, rewelding manifold, new turbo nuts and bolts,Reseting sideband sensor, new actuator pipe etc
When I got the car the roof was in bits ripped badly where it met the body, the rear window was cable tied in, and had rips at nearly every joint. It was also a cheap replacement roof. I replaced it with a genuine mohair mk2 mx5 roof with glass rear window. This roof had one clean rip in the top which was sewn and patched and does not leak nor is noticeable at all. I wouldn’t even call this a bad point but it’s worth mentioning
Paint was gick when I got it, three stage polish and wax and it cleaned up well. Unfortunatley I forgot to wax it before the FreshFix feature
Recently featured on Fresh fix and in its previous incarnation as Brian Egans drift car was Speedhunters featured.
NCT until Mid April 2013
Tax until end of 01/13
Car is clear of any previous accident damage and has absolutely no rust!
The car is of a very high spec as seen below. Car has great road presence.
Car is actually very good on petrol due to being mapped well and I’ve gotten 26/27 mpg around the town with some heavy footing.
I’ve had the car just over 2 months and it’s become apparent the mx5 is just not a viable daily for me. I’m also in my final year of college and this type of car really takes up a lot of time both physically and mentally that I can’t afford to waste.
Car is currently road legal but is still fully competitive for drifting if fitted with seats and a cage. Would do as is for track days!
Car doesn't come with Nardi!

The paint work was an absolute sham when I got it, it has since been buffed and waxed and came up significantly although still has some small lacquer peel around the aerial and drivers door handle. The passenger door is rippled, but a replacement can be got for roughly 50 euro I just don’t have the spare money at the moment.
Price
I’m in absolutely no rush to sell, and am not short of cash. I do love this car and won’t let it go for less than what its worth. Price wise I’m looking in the region of 3,300 euro but am Open to close offers!
Im open to part exchanged, anything considered
