    It's with a heavy heart that my wife's car is up for sale. As secure as cable ties are, I'm not sure that they should be used to fix a 1 year old to a roll cage, so something with more seats, more ISOfix, and less fun is apparently required.



    • 1998 R MX5 - Japanese import
    • 68k miles, although this will go up as it's still in use.
    • 1.6i - 120bhp
    • 'Chaste White' - rare colour as only available on imports.



    Tax until the end of August
    MOT until Feb next year


    Basic factory fitted stuff: Electric Windows, PAS, ABS, AC, Heated glass rear window.


    The good bits

    • TR Lane GPV Roll Bar with additional harness bar (compatible with the glass rear window - far less chance of becoming a human pancake should the worst happen, and stiffens up the chassis very noticeably)
    • ABT 'A3' wheels (16x7.5 et30)
    • K&N Air Filter from a speedboat.
    • Aftermarket springs.



    Cambelt, water pump, and aux belts changed about 5k ago.


    Some spares included, such as original airbox, couple of coil packs, some ignition leads, a few sensors, steering wheel boss, and a spare cam cover if you'd like to paint it up to look all shiny.


    Serviced about 3k ago - new plugs, fully synthetic oil, filter.



    Bad bits (I'm not good at selling cars as I tend to be a little too honest):



    • Only advisory at the recent MOT was a worn front drop link, which is on order and so will be done shortly.
    • Rear arches are solid, front chassis rails are solid, sills are starting to show some signs of corrosion, but according to the MOT tester 'there's a good few years in 'em yet'. This is basically par for the course with an MX5.
    • Hood has some splits - with a bit of duct tape it's weatherproof


    Runs faultlessly, as you'd expect from a 68k car. Very tidy inside, good bodywork.

    We're after £1650, which is pennies for something with a long MOT and a whole lot of summertime fun to give.


    If you'd like to bring your own wheels I'll knock £200 off the price, and another £200 if you don't want the roll bar (but I'll need the time to remove it).


    Swaps/PXs will be entertained, but only for something entertaining.


    Car is based about 5 miles from Stratford Upon Avon.


    Thanks
    Si
