AdamR Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Morning all, Moving my MX-5 on to pastures new. It's been a top car, just I need something I can get a mountain bike in! Car came from @BCF and appears to have been through another WSCC member in the past too! Brief details: - 'Dakar' limited edition (dark blue), with 15" alloys and all four tyres being Avon ZV7 with good tread. Standard black leather seats (bit tatty but fine). - MOT til August, had sills and and another few bits of rust done for latest MOT, good to go for a few years now - Fresh oil change this month with full synth 5w40 (better for the hydraulic lifters in cold weather than the 10w40 standard grade) - Approx 131k miles - P reg / 1998 - 1.8 engine, 5 speed box, uses no oil, no funny noises, pulls well - Mongoose stainless exhaust and cone filter - Windblocker and cabin brace - Upgraded speakers and CD head unit - New battery just over a year ago - Recent roof in a sort of burgundy colour, leak-free, also recent brake overhaul with new pads and discs - P942 SKX if you want to check MOT history - Bad bits: the odd bodywork mark, heater controls only blow full beans (have replacement resistor ready to go in), paint on wheels not in great condition, would generally benefit from a tarting up to make it pristine again if that's your bag 5/12/19: SOLD! I've tried to show all the usual MX-5 problem areas, blemishes and 'niggles' in the photos, so there's no surprises on viewing Cheers, Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR Posted November 26, 2019 Author Share Posted November 26, 2019 I'd love to keep it as a spare too, but needs must. Pics added and a new price - which I think reflects very good value? If not someone feel free to make me a sensible offer! I would really love for the car to stay within the WSCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dommo Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 That is pretty much exactly what I was looking for a year ago... doh! Need more space on the drive now... anyone want an RX-8? C1? Or have a flat pack multi storey car park? Love that, looks perfect and not ruined like a lot out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR Posted November 28, 2019 Author Share Posted November 28, 2019 Thanks Dommo! I'd have probably done a deal with your C1 actually, but have just bought a Micra. I think that's been the 'mantra' for the car through its life really, I know Barny was keen not to ruin it It's an amazing b-road blaster with the standard suspension Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR Posted November 28, 2019 Author Share Posted November 28, 2019 I wonder if that is the case! Behold the sh1tbox. Still needs a name. It even came with 3 of its original tyres and a free indoor swimming pool 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 You'll soon get used to every one saying hello and giving them a warm Micra wave You'll also get used to the interior temperature given the Micra climate The running costs will be low due to the Micra economy. I've run out of Micra puns now......you'll be please to hear.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a Michaela to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR Posted December 5, 2019 Author Share Posted December 5, 2019 There's tons up here now I've started looking out for them I think I'm going to stick with the animal theme and go for The Ladybird. MX-5 sold to @Simon_Jones, who is one of the previous owners. This makes me really happy! Look forward to meeting you soon Simon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
