To be honest with the roof down and when your enjoying yourself 30 is a push lol I've been trying to lighten my normally very heavy right foot. Plus I haven't really had the opportunity to give it a thrash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theshootist Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 My best mate bought an XKR in 2006 and I bought a Chimaera 500. We both still have them although they don't get much use now. The Chimaera is a real handful. Interesting to see so much love for the MX5. I bought a MK2 with the intention of fitting a turbo and having some fun, but it turned out to be a rust bucket and I had to sell it for parts. A rust free Mk1 would be a good find.

I can afford to do what you want to do, but don't have the inclination. You can't properly use a quick car on the road and track days do nothing for me. SNAP !

The suicide clutch, cable brakes and the back-to-front 3 speed gearchange were an education to a learner driver, but, once I had passed my test, it was an absolute babe magnet compared to the Anglias and Minis that my contemporaries drove.

I think most important is to check the body carefully for signs of corrosion. Other than collisions its rust that will end these cars, long before the engine and drive trains wear out. They are somewhat un-loved and hence under priced for what they are. Find one owned by a good owner and I think they are a great choice.
