Wanted - Rusty 1.8 MX5, Midlands

[LowStandards]

I'm after an MX5 for a special project i'm working on.

Thing is i'm going to be very picky about what and where

It must be:
1.8
Manual
Have a sweet engine / box / running gear
Have a Torsen diff, so i'm guessing a mk2

It can be as rusty as you like, I don't care for the body, or the roof or the seats etc

It must be in the Midlands, cause i'm lazy...


I know, i know, i'm a nightmare, but there are plenty about so its worth asking. I promise the end result will be worth it

The MK1 or NA had an LSD too chap, unsure if it was a Torsen type though.

Are you on Buy Sell MX5 on Facebook? If not get on there they usually have lots of the crusty type for sale...............It's where I buy them ;-)

Think they were the silicone based slipper and not upto much cop.

Fairly sure it was only the import 1.6 cars which had the weak viscous lsd. I'm fairly certain the 1.8s that had the lsd fitted were torsen. I fitted one of my mk1 1.6s with a mk2 torsen after destroying the original open diff and tbh I wish I had ruined the open diff sooner! Sadly the bodywork on said car is starting to get bit flakey, hence buying a second mk1
Out of interest why discount the 1.6 model? It's a cracking little motor!
