What a build spec.! Over 60k spent on this 260bhp MX5 sleeper.

Over 60k spent over the last 23 years. Looks class, but purchase price, maintenance etc will add considerably to that 60k I'd say.
I like that it's fairly unassuming on the outside, but I'm not seeing how there is 60k spent on it unless they've kept all the petrol receipts from new! It's got a fair amount of miles on it too and doesn't talk about rust either so it seems a fairly average mx5 with a forged engine and a turbo kit.
If it is immaculate underneath I'd have liked to see that in the ad

You're right - its a Eunos, so there'll not be anything too nasty under there but its certainly not immaculate.

Not words to live by
. Depends how long it's been in the UK. Can confirm my 1989 Eunos isn't overly pretty in places anymore!gary87

I’ve never understood the phrase ‘immaculate for the year’.
What does that even imply?
Such an NI Gumtree term.

Did they ever do a manual I the V70R or are they all autos?
I've driven one and other than having good amounts of power and sounding well, it was fairly bland to drive. I much prefer my 3.0r legacy as a 6cyl AWD alternative. Welcome to take it a drive.

Yep, but most were auto.
They're a great car, but by no means something you'd jump in to for a run down the backroads. But for a A road / motorway run they are brilliant.

The holy grail of colour combos, dream car right there.
Shame its auto but beggars can't be choosers!
Sounds about right being a VAG and bland lol
Genuinely, when I was looking for a new daily driver last year my search list consisted of 3.6 Superbs and 3.0R Legacys, but I couldn't find a decent one. I actually wouldn't mind a run in the Legacy sometime thank you
In the end I got the A6 which I love, but I think the Legacy and Superb would be a little bit easier on mpg.
I believe so, although from what I remember from looking in to them a couple of years ago I don't think they can be mapped up in the same way that the R36 can.

Absolutely more than welcome to a run in mine. It's a 2005 3.0r Spec B Manual. It does 20mpg commuting and 28-30mpg motorway however, but I can't imagine the R36 would be much better.
I'm in Dundonald if you do fancy a run. They sound fantastic too. Mine has a pair of backboxes just for a subtle note, but the raptor manifold cars are like an old porsche
Granted, the one in this video one is supercharged, but an estate car has no right to make such exotic sounds. Skip the first 30 seconds it's all intro nonsense
End of the month hopefully. I risked a guess date and have a flight booked to pick it up, just waiting on the logbook coming through so I can put a plate on it. I'll probably be selling the 3.0. I did consider turning it into a trackday car or taking it to the Nürburgring but I wouldn't have time this year to do either, so I'll do that another time
