Back in a 5!
Posted: Tue Feb 18, 2014 1:29 pm
Hi all,
Just picked up my third MX5 over the weekend. First one was an NA BRG Limited Edition (124, which is now owned by another forum member) that had to make way for a work related wagon. After never really being comfortable with letting her go I ended up with another NA6 in red which had to be let go to another forum member about a year ago now when the funds were needed for elsewhere.
I'm now driving an immaculate 2002 NB8B in sunlight silver!
Factory leather seats, chrome kick plates, 69,000 km on the clock all for the bargain price (imo) of $11k. One owner from new with all receipts and original sales documentation. She came with 13 months rego, 70k service a week ago along with wheel alignment and aircon regas.
Moving house this week so I'll get some pictures up shortly once the dust has settled.
Plans are primarily cosmetic at this stage, involving clear indicators, chrome vent rings and chrome fuel cap. I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for a hard top and possibly an SE or aftermarket hand brake and gear knob.
Best thing is that after 3 years I'll be getting my EMX005 number plates out of storage at the RMS really soon!
Stoked to be back in the "club" and looking forward to contributing again to this wonderful forum.
