Hi, I'm from Nottingham, i was wondering if anybody could help me out.
I'm on the verge of buying my first MX-5 I've found one that i really like but was wondering if you guys had any tips on what to look out for, main issues and such, or even if anybody knows the car. Need a car pretty fast so any help would be appreciated, Thanks.
