Collected today my 30th odd MX5. Ive have lost count now of the number Ive had.
Got this one from a fellow nutzer, Ben aka benjomxrs.
As Ben's username suggests its a MK1 1994 Eunos Roadster RS Limited. If Carlsberg had made a limited edition mx5 this would have been it.
As standard it came with carbon recaros, short ratio torsen LSD, bilstien suspension, yellow strust brace, lightened flywheel and the 1.8 engine in a nice blue which sometimes looks green.
As most of you know these often get raided for the nice parts like the wheels, seats, etc so are often incomplete.
Luckily this one is all complete.
Downside is the tinworm has had a go at the rear arches so for me there is a bit of a restoration job to be done.
Here are some photos:
Ben did me a fair price on this so thanks mate as could have got more for it if he had broken it but I think he wiull be glad to see it staying complete being tidied up. I have not driven it yet as my mate drove it home but says it drives great.
Luckily it also has a nice mohair hood, while the seats have been retrimmed in black leather with a realy nice job done.
This wont be getting arches but I think I can turn it back to a mint rs limited for what you would pay for an average rs ltd.
Dont worry though, this tendancy for a limited edition model will not see me joining the OC!
