Hi all, as the title says I've ended up here as I missed out on an mx5. I was surfing the 'bay when I came across a cheap cheap mgf. So as I was waiting to go on the ultimate at light water valley I won it!
A quick train ride up to donny the following day I collected it.
I fell in love with it straight away taking a steady drive away from the motorway back to York.


It's got a few scratches and dents but I'm not too fussed about that I'm happy it's all mechanically sound.
It's even fitted with a few poly bushes!

Any tips on what to do next?

Nice looking car, well done :broon:

Why decat? You won't get any increase in power, the sound produced from a decent stainless steel backbox is, in my opinion, only made worse by a decat. However it is your car and you pay your money and you make your choice, but there are many other places you could spend your well earned money. Take your time and read up on some of the mods people have made, you'll be spoiled for choice.

I cricked my neck overdoing it in Bruges last week. So, I fixed your pic for you. :lol:

I'm an MX5 forum member. Love em. But, whilst they're great little cars, and probably more mechanically sound overall, the drive doesn't really compare with a mid engined car in my humble opinion. They do drift well on wet roundabouts though. :lol:

Price wise, you made a good choice. Fingers crossed. :broon: :welcome:
