Nearly two years ago I bought a 1991 Mark 1 MX5 from an old man who buys and sells them for fun.
It was a project from the start, seeing as it didn’t run, her paint was flaking and rust was a massive issue.However this didn’t bother me as I wanted a challenge, I wanted a car that wasn’t perfect so that I could take it upon myself to make it perfect.
In my time as owner I've clocked up over 5000 miles in her and I have to say it's the most fun car I've ever driven.
Whether youre blasting on B roads or pootling around town, this is a car you can have fun with at any speed, and it always leaves you with a smile on your face and eagerly wanting more.
I've had a vast ownership of fast and fun cars, I've also driven some very fast cars at track days etc so its not like I've come from a £200 rusty Corsa. I do have quite a bit of experience with fast cars.
For under £2000 this is the best car you can buy for fun factor and value for money. It's not the fastest thing in the world but thats not the point of the MX5, its meant to be a superb handler.
Thats where most people don't like the MX5, it's underpowered.
I can not reccomend this car enough, you must at least drive one before you make a judgement on them.
