Well we made the decision to purchase one of the older NA series MX5s. We picked the Limited Edition in "Classic Red" with tan leather interior. It was in the best condition out of all of the ones that I saw by a long way!
We've put a deposit down on it and got to borrow it over night which was great fun! It's been for an inspection and I'm just awaiting the repairs that were required after that. It's due to go for another inspection on Wednesday afternoon to check it's all ok, then it will be ours!
They have agreed to get a new windscreen (had a small chip), full service (oil, plugs, etc), master cylinder service to fix the leak, 2 new rear tyres, rear alignment, head light alignment, rear suspension control arm fixed and power steering service all at their cost, before I take delivery. It had a full service 15,000ks ago which included the timing belt. All the services have been done by Centenary Mazda.
Managed to get it for an OK price considering it's condition and the price they had it maked at. I've put up some photos on Flickr from when I dropped it off for inspection!
Ben's also been doing heaps of research on them which's been very useful, hopefully we can track one down for him in just as good condition (but in Green)!
