The 377BHP was optimistic too. These are more in 400-450 BHP region and a real 180mph+ car.

Yikes! Yes they are a bit special, but that is an awful lot of money!

For 4.5k it should be better, wheels are bit scabby, mismatching tyres, and some signs of rust, any sort of rust on a MX5 is not good

I've tried to be as open as possible with the ad/pics. Some on there claim no rust and their MOT history is rotten.
I feel my price is currently too high, I agree. Just try ones best and all.

Didnt mean to come across negative, and im prob a bit biased and out of touch (on MX5 prices), im NA man through and through

No it's cool! Definitely didn't.
I'm of the opinion they probably ALL have rust to some extent, but some are much better than others.
Trying to gauge the price isn't easy, they range so much on there but I have a figure I need to clear to be happy. There's a deal to be had ha
Identical to mine:
Though mine is triple the miles but does have AC.

Not technically for sale yet.. but it will be!. Heard about this project a while back. We produce all the parts that go in to a Caterham chassis!
They came and used out Guillotine to chop up some original panels as they didn't quite fit in there's heard horror stories of long days removing rivets from the original pieces.
Will be up for auction after touring around loads of Motorsport events

I honestly don't understand how companies can spend hundreds of millions, if not billions on developing these things and then they give to reveal to a "motoring journalist" from wish.com 
I guess the likes of Shmee and Supercarblondie have such huge followings because they are about as car-centric as most of their followers, ie. the word "piston" may as well be hieroglyphics to them.

Got to see RB17 in the flesh, did nothing for me if I am honest, all these radical crazy designs coming out whether EV or combustion powered I was a bit unimpressed.
One of the very best looking new cars is the Alfa 33 based on MC20, just Alfa made it look 10x better, shame there is only 33 of them. Ford GT for me is still a personal favourite and it has number plates so is not just a track special.

I think it looks awesome but I can see these designs becoming all too similarGot to see RB17 in the flesh, did nothing for me if I am honest, all these radical crazy designs coming out whether EV or combustion powered I was a bit unimpressed.

Some great cars here, and such an amazing thing to think that out there other people could have these sort of collections

Such a waste, hoarding is part of the problem why these cars are becoming rare, most are probably rotting away somewhere...
i did 150mph indicated in a 24v. I think various people got the Lotus Carlton over its top speed back when

Just spotted this on my socials, I'm wondering what it'll go for although I'm suspecting it'll be a classic example of buying on condition rather than mileage!
