Might as well get the feelers out now - I'm on the lookout for something cheap and RWD I can throw around a few trackdays next year. Swaying towards an MX5 because I've had two of them and know them fairly well.

Something like @Coog had would be absolutely ideal to be honest. Budget would be £2k tops, but ideally spend a bit less. I don't care if it's categorised, painted with a roller, has underbody neons, I'd consider it all. MOT would be a bonus, or something that could potentially pass MOT

Flip I had the best craic with that wee car. 10 years of track days, tramp drifting, commuting, left literally months at Dublin airport while I travelled, snow drifter, weekend beater and when I was going through a divorce it was my store for a few months. Stuck it through a few hedges and spun out at too many roundabouts. I even brought one of our directors back from Dublin airport in it with the Nato green paint and bright orange wheels (his face was a picture) and we ended up backwards into the roundabout at Sprucefield M1 on slip... All for £200 odd. Absolutely class banter altogether tbh.

I've a '91 1.6 MX5 / Eunos here that i think I've made a snap decision to sell. In my ownership since I think 2016, garaged the whole time, think I sornd in 2019 or 20 when I poked a hole in a sill and the whole kids thing started in earnest.

Have gone as far as cutting out the rust (not bad as it happens, usual sill and front of rear inner arch). Have the sill, sill end and rear quarter repair panels sitting. Just no time over last 2 years to finish it and no prospect of time or space coming up. Car needs paint but is solid other than what is exposed.

Clutch was done year after I got it, otherwise 4 branch manifold, decat, cobra cat back exhaust, kn induction kit, new plug leads. Goes and sounds brilliant.

Stuck it up on marketplace and think by offers so far it should fetch £1500 or so with the panels. Few other bits to with it (eunos boot lid with the high level brake light, good fitted car cover, boot mounted luggage rack, think I've the original airbox etc) and wouldn't be hard talked to.
