OAP MY RIDE!
For no good reason I decided to sell my trusty daily MK3 Golf TDi Estate then was left needing a car. I then fell ill and had a weeks stay in hospital but time on my hands to find something. After looking at anything from S type Jags to Lexus IS200 this little Mazda on eBay took my fancy. I have always liked them and ten years ago I had a few 323 Turbo's so had history with these cars.
It was originally owned from new by a 92 year old ex WW2 Spitfire Pilot! It has only done 64k and is in very nice condition. There are of course a few things that need to be sorted but thats half the fun. It has a nasty ding in the rear panel but hopefully if I can borrow a portapower it will make it look a lot straighter. Its only a 1500 so not that quick but has the bonus of cheaper tax. You could say its fully loaded as it has power steering, windows and mirrors. Plans are to get it looking minty mint and mod it like you would a resto MK2 VW Golf. It will definately get lowered and a change of wheels are on the cards.
Please post up your comments and any pics to give me inspiration!
