Nice! Never seen one on the road apart from outside Goodwood which doesn't really count 
My wife's which I bought brand new back in 2010 was £22K which was for the 2L Sport Tech Coupe, which came with everything on it you could option. I think the new one with the targa top is coming in at around 29k for the all in launch edition. So 7K more in 6 years does seem a fair lift.
The Sport Nav RF Coupe (i.e. the equivalent) is £25.5k OTR, which is much closer. The RF Coupe also has navigation included (can't get it without) which the Mk3 wouldn't. The standard Roadster SE vs SE-L-Nav is over £1.5k, so it's really much closer than that.
True I suppose.
Yep, the current one is a LOT more expensive than previous ones. The whole point in an MX-5 was they were cheap, simple, yet still as fun as way more expensive cars. But now they are getting quite close to Lotus Elise money when specced up! It's pretty much the exact same car it always was. So what justifies the huge leap?

Saw a really awesome looking Range Rover today, but couldn't get it in full as some yobbo in a banger decided to drive between me and the RR.
Love it, my favourite car ever and I haven't seen one in the flesh yet.
Chinese next to my work had a 991 for a few weeks then suddenly turned up with this.
The only time I've seen an F1 "in the wild" was when someone was taking one for a ride from that ludicrous dealer at Marble Arch. Think he was asking £3m or something silly for it.
It's one of those machines I'd like to get seriously up close and personal with. Open every door / cubby hole / whatever and just marvel at the craftsmanship and engineering.

I got a Sport Tech 2.0L new in 2010, granted it was a car the dealer had but it was £17500 (Assume RRP around 22K) if I remember correctly so I imagine there are still deals to be had nowadays.

I was told what this was, but I forgot. Was parked in the center of Ypres, strange to see performance cars in Belguim/France due to the taxes.
I've been rumbled! Funny you should say that, DVLA were dragging their feet as the V5 only arrived yesterday, Paras' plate has just gone on to retention tonight and mine will be going on as soon as the new V5 turns up

It's a Fisker Karma. In my opinion not a great looking car but it's fairly unique alright.
Still quite a lot though. It's a bit like the GT86, nice car but just to expensive for what it is (which is why they didn't sell all that great). You can get a faster car for a lot less.
