I've only gone and bought an MX-5 It was a bit of an impulse but I wanted a convertable that was fun to drive and this ticked all the boxes:
Its a 1998 1.8 with the 140BHP and its so nice to drive, feels similar to how the Xsara was but handles far better. Got it from a dealer in Bedfordshire as it was used in part exchange against a MINI and although its done 120,000 its CLEAN I'm chuffed.

The mileage doesnt worry me. It looks like its done half that. The service history shows that most of the miles were put on during its first 6 years. Just need to take care of it now.
