Tempted by a car….

[Wilmslow]

This is the perfect time of year to be looking at convertibles.

Got an offer for one if I want it on Ebay – MX5 automatic for only £1100. This ia a special edition with tan leather and wood interior. The guy just wants a quick sale.

Mark 1, but in absolutely mint condition, only been imported from Japan from 2006, so absolutely no rust at all. Low miles (75K) and has ABS brakes. L plate, 1993 so a lot safer than the pre-1993 which had no ABS.

Given that I could instantly sell for £1500 in the summer, possibly more I am very tempted…….

Only snag is I would need to get a 5am train from Cheshire to Bath to collect on Saturday morning, which is a pain………

Would this be a very sad hobby, or would this be a laugh? Cannot decide, but, this is a true bargain of a car, if I want to get it………

This would be a second hobby car, not a daily hack. But, in the summer could be a pleasant change for the odd commute.

He bought the MX5 TARDIS version last year in May 2011.

They don't salt the roads there. You could try that here, it might not make a difference since they're usually so slow to do it after a snowfall anyway, but the driving skills here leave a lot to be desired.
