    Any love for MX5’s?

    That’s really good to know! I drove a 986S of Eoin’s and while it was very nicely screwed together and the engine felt strong, I thought it was also a bit soulless.

    Having had an Elise with a 1.8t 20v I am inclined to agree. 260bhp/280lb in my view corrupted the balance of the car. It was quite exciting though! This is just a cheap bit of fun and I think for the price jolly good value given its overall practicality.

    I bought a Mk3 MR2 for my wife. Nice car, this I guess has a few more creature comforts and a normal boot!

    Apparently taller people fit in NC’s! The n/a kits look interesting, up to 225 from BBR.

    Not in mine they weren’t, virtually identical to my K/S boards.

    Not so much now. I had a mk1 but I need a car that is ULEZ compliant and also something a bit more usable, The one I am looking at has a folding metal roof, climate control, heated seats, bluetooth and mpg is also much better on later cars. Despite my mk1 being a 1.6, I never saw more than 30mpg...

    That’s what I’m hoping and I have a 54 mile each way commute when I’m in the office! I had a Mk1 which was a lot of fun, drove it everywhere with the roof off.

    Car is totally standard. They sorted out the issues in 2009, fitted a LSD, lowered the car using Bilsteins, installed a front strut brace and the engine has stronger internals including a forged crank which raised the redline by 500 to 7500rpm. Prior to that, the NC model got a very like warm...

    Price is probably firm Steve, but it’s from a specialist who is well rated and fussy about his cars plus comes with a fresh service, fresh MOT and a decent six months warranty.

    I realise it will rust to pieces before I get it home, but have put a deposit down on this pending checking it over today. Fancied a cheap bit of fun motoring until I buy something more exotic again. Been without a sportscar (Elise) for three years now...

    Avsondale Grad One / TPX2. For reference, I had a 82 and preferred my 72 with Avondale 821A’s. Bruv Sawney found my Grad One significantly better than his 72 with RSL boards.
