That looks great. Was that the one you linked the other day?
Looks excellent Ste! Feel any different to the 1.8?
Love the steering wheel.

Care to share how much you paid? Curious as to the price of good ones.

Yes mate, I was the first person to view it and bought it on the spot.
It couldn't feel any more different, especially as the last one was pretty much a full-on track car. This ones comfy and quiet and a joy to drive, and I can't comment of the speed difference as I've been pootling around everywhere like an old man lol.
I feel like Toad of Toad Hall driving it, which is just as well where I live lol
I paid the asking price of £1800, which is strong money I guess but what's £1800 these days?? Plus, it's in awesome condition with tons of history and he's given me enough bits and bobs to half fill the garage!

Tbh anything sub 2k in this sort of condition isn't strong money. The amount of people who want a decent car for a couple of grand is a lot. Looks great 
Can you/will you be replacing the seats?
Abit garish no?

What?? I love the tan leather! I love old classic cars which is why I went for this, as it looks very old school IMO.
Fair! I have to say, I picked up a 1.8 a couple of weeks ago and like yours it couldn't be more different from my last 1.6 - since that was stripped/loud etc. Standard is just better lol. IMO they're slow as each other though!
Ha! I guess the steering wheel is cool.

Oh yeah they're not quick cars at all, but they go well enough and handle great. If I wanted fast I'd have bought something fast lol

Really like them all (even the ignis ). Your last miata though is :hail: BEAUTIFUL.
Dont change the nardi pleasee
I hope this summer will be like the last one :clap:

1.8K is money well spent. If you want a cup at some point lol I ll happily adopt the miata

That's the same interior as mine pretty much. The wheel is pretty much my favourite feature!
All six are lovely motors! A man of fine taste.

Love it - so has the Ignis gone?
I've always wanted a car that I can use a stick on number plate, on.

Would love a go in one of the Suzuki's. My missus had a shitty peasant spec 1.3 Ignis when I met her and I maintain it was one of the best engines ive drove in ages. Was so nippy for what it was and went like the clappers once above 4000rpm.

Brilliant purchase.
I really want to try an MX5, a good friend of mine has one that I love, I keep telling him to sell it to me but he won't part with it....yet.

Awesome Ste. So old and new at the same time!
It'll of course need a few mods.
It'll stay as it is I think, Gally... It won't be seeing any tracks so as long as it's clean and well maintained that'll do for me

V-spec? Looks very very clean. My sister had an MX5 once. I hated it because it was a rust bucket.
A good friend of mine has one though and it's lovely. Started out like yours but has been sprayed in a Porsche cream/white, had a few other bits done as well, mainly a TURBO!!!
Enjoy the below if you wish

I noticed you mentioned you're keeping the Ignis so understandable.
