Right, many of you may know this car - until 12 days ago it was owned by RR's very own Grizz and he had fully documented the car in his build thread which is here.....................

About 6 weeks ago I sold my Chevy truck and began looking for a Ford Mustang. After a while i realised it may take a while to find exactly the car I was after and I needed transport, so I decided to buy the MX5 as it was the perfect stop-gap car - cheap, retro and bucket loads of fun.
12 days ago I bought the MX5 from Grizz. This was his advert, which tells you pretty much all you need to know...............

I've only done about 200 miles in the car, and 120 of them were today going down to Wiltshire and back to view a Mustang (which I bought). It always starts on the button and goes like stink. For fun for your £'s an MX5 is really hard to beat.
This one has a very good Mohair hood, not a plastic item. Has tonneau cover, Stainless steel honeycomb radiator protector, Chrome Roll hoops, Nardil Wood rimmed steering wheel, handbrake and ally gear knob with new gaiters and gear lever rubber mounts, Ally pedal covers, interior mats, New door speakers, Rear wing spoiler, TSW Alloys with very good tyres, Some random spares as well.
I have the V5 and there is a folder full of old MOT's and bills, including a £350 Sony stereo which is in the car.
It has done a genuine 82,000 miles (it's an import so the speedo is in MPH but the milometer is in KM).
MOT is until mid-September. I've had a good look over it and all I can find that it needs is a new fog light (the lens is broken but I have one somewhere in the shed and will put that on) and the handbrake is a bit curse word and needs adjusting up - in the build thread Grizz did I think it shows him putting new brakes in it quite recently.
For it's age it is in good shape - it's not a rusty old dog like some you see and the cockpit is a nice place to be, especially with the roof down.
Sadly it needs to go as I only have one parking space and I need it for this............
The car is in Woking.
£995 now only £895ono
