Back end of last week I picked up this MX-5 Berkeley, needs a proper clean but I thought I'd share all the same:
Only 400 of these made and were the last of the mk1 models in this country, so this means my car was one of last 25 mk1's sold here.
The 2 former owners were both enthusiasts from mx5oc.co.uk, so as you'd imagine it runs fine and has a stack of receipts including all old MOT's and tax discs. These receipts also include some choice mods; lowering springs, mk2 1.8iS wheels, Jackson Racing Cold Air Intake and Custom SS Powerflow Exhaust which is subtle when pootling but once revved sounds a lot more purposeful. Goodyear Eagles with plenty of tread and the roof is fine too with no leaks.
Bad points, just the bodywork really with a few little scrapes and scratches which doesn't bother me, especially considering age and price.
Let me know what you think
