Doesn't like the wet though, lol!
They're dreadfully under powered
But awesome fun to drive for the money. I love them and sell shit loads, all year round! The Mk2s are cheap now as well! I've got a 51 plate here for £3999... wasn't long ago and it would have been nearer £6k
But like you said, cheap tyres on the back and they hate the wet!
Last 3 Mk1s I've had and sold:
No. 144 of 250 built to celebrate the launch of the MX5 in the UK. Had only done 40k miles!
This was only 70k miles, 1 owner, hard top etc. but was probably the worst one for rot I've ever had
I had this for about 4-5 years and wheeled it out in the summer. It ALWAYS started, NEVER went wrong, was an import with no history, was minty mint, cost fuck all to run and only cost me about £1000 all that time ago in p/ex on another car!!! I got double that back for it this summer just gone
Should never have sold it!
Next one I keep will be a yellow Mk2!
If you're going to look like a bender... may as well go the whole hog
