Where are all the 10AE models?????
I was lucky enough to get one that had low ks......knowing that only 150 were sold in Aus
I was curious too see how many are still around.....might also help track down some of the harder to find parts.
Mines #4649

All the four 10AE that I know have all been extensively modified. Shame really.

Mine is still relatively stock and low kays (77km on the clock now). All details/pics by clicking on my car underneath my username over here >>>>>>>

Can't remember the build number of mine off the top of my head, but it was purchased from a forumer here.

Wasn't there one on here a few months ago that had been stripped down and fully caged.

A lot of the non-forummers probably aren't aware that their car is a 10AE or anything that special.

Hello,
As far as I know there are at least three 10AE's in Canberra. Two are still with their original owners and are in daily use.
I know that one of these two cars had it's 'breathing' and it's exhaust system substantially improved by the late, legendary Loc Stewart. This car with its willingness to rev and its wonderfully crisp exhaust note is thrilling and rewarding to drive.
Tho' these two owners may be unaware of the existence of MX5cartalk Forum they would without doubt know of the distinction between a 10AE and other MX5s....
Cheers from slowpoke

G'day Con65 !
I had thought that my car was a relatively low kilometer example but strewth... your car (at 5700k) absolutely takes the cake !
Con, would you PLEASE give us the drum on why your '10' is such a low mileage motorcar ?

Hello again Con,
Thanks for your illuminating reply.
The Racing Beat muffler that you have on your 10.. did you get this from Moss in America ? Or is it available in Australia ? Do you have one of these mufflers on your other MX5 too ?
I think everyone who follows this Forum would be thinking how excellent it is that you've 'come out of the woodwork' ! Others might now feel encouraged to follow your example !

I've got one, No. 5522 and it's done around 114,000kms, I have done some mods to it but everything can be undone and I have all the original parts.

The only thing that would make me sell it would be a 20AE but I think I'm pretty safe there!!

I know of at least 4 others in Qld, we had 4 on the one club run once, only time I haven't felt special :D
