Yeah, went to view one yesterday, guy told me over the phone it was completly mint etc, drove an hour and a half to go view it and its a complete dog!!!

I noticed that red one alright, not a fan of the black/red combo but looks to be in great nick so still kind of tempted

Hi Shaun, I'm on MX5 nutz as well. Took a 1.8 for a spin today and although I liked it, a member on MX5ireland told me to give it a wide berth... I'm looking at a 1.6 on Tuesday.

That red one has been well looked after alright, it's had a recent respray and (if I remember correctly) an engine rebuild not too long ago too.

Worth a look definitely.

Best of luck in the hunt, plenty of choice for ~€3k

I probably wouldnt even get a chance to look at the red one for about 3 weeks with it being in Cork, though if it isnt sold by then I'll probably go take a look.

@ Uncle B take your time in looking for an MX5 , plenty of rough ones out there, and threre starting to get cheaper this time of year.
Also worth noting that a Eunos is alot harder to insure than an MX5
