	For sale is a Japanese import MX-5 in need of a good home. I used this car as a long daily commute (135miles return) for 12 months and it successfully took me to work and back every time. The car has been serviced regularly by myself and it is in perfect running condition. Engine oil, gearbox oil, differential oil, and coolant were replaced at the correct service intervals. Castrol oil and new oil filter went in at every oil change. Sadly, the car was recently broken into and the radio was stolen. The back window was damaged during the break-in as was the boot lid. All the door and boot locks still work but the car is now been sold without the radio. In brief: 1991 Eunos roadster - 291000 km (180000 miles) MOT'd until May 2012 currently SORN'd Service history up to date Timing belt replaced at 244000 km Water pump replaced at 244000km 4 Kumho tyres fitted at 255500km with plenty of thread left on them (due to large amount of motorway journey) Fuel injector professionally cleaned at 267000km Poly bushes fitted front and rear at 265000km inner track rods replaced at 281000km front and rear drilled/groved discs fitted with EBC brake pads fitted at 28200km and still in near new condition due to motorway usage new battery fitted in March 2010 and still under guaranty The car is in very good running condition, with no smoke or any suspicious engine noise. I would like to keep the car and carry on using it. The car is dry stored in my garage. Sadly though the car now needs to go as I am relocating for professional reason. The pictures show the car before it was broken into. The hood would need replacing to make the pictures 100% up to date. Viewing recommended. No swap/PX please. Give me a call on 07880777915 or PM me.

	Forgot to mention that the car comes with an extensive service history right down to the original Japanese importation documents. It is an easy winter project which should take little time and effort to put right.

	is that 180,000miles on the original engine? to be clear it needs a stereo, wing, boot lid and roof replacement? is it a long nose or a short nose cranked engine?

	It is the original engine with 180k miles. (actually 289650km as of tonight). It's a long nose crank shaft pulley. And the crankshaft seal and camshaft seals were replaced at the same time as the timing belt and water pump. The car would need a new radio (actually I have a spare JVC cd unit that could come with the car). The roof had its rear window cut with a stanley knife or similar. A new roof would be the only option. Price for those is relatively cheap. The boot lid had some of the luggage rack pulled off during the break in. A new rack could be fitted or it might just be easier to fit a new boot lid without luggage rack. The offside front wing does have some surface rust near the bumper. But I don't think this could justify a new wing. The near side front wing is new. I will try to take some pictures of the damages to the boot and roof tomorrow if the weather is dry.

	See pictures of the damage made by the scum bags who stole the radio.

	makes you sick to share oxygen with people like that doesn't it, defiunately a new roof job, the front wings looks to have rusted from the inside out, are you sure it doesn't warrent replacement? would a screw driver go through it? Is the dash damaged where the radio was presumably forceibly removed? Sorry for all the questions, it seems to have been looked after just I've hada few 5s and am aware of the pitfalls and its a hell of a drive down the goddamn A15 to come home empty handed.

	yes it does! I don't think the wing has rusted from the inside out has I cleaned the inside of the wheel arches a few months ago I couldn't find any sign of rust in the inside. No damage to the dash itself but the blanking panel under the radio was broken. I know you can get some small cubby holes to fill the gap left under the radio so that wouldn't be a problem sorting out. I have changed the engine oil of the car over the weekend, and gave the car a good clean. All it needs now is a new good home. I am reducing the price to £1000 hoping to see it go before the end of the week. Failing this, it will have to go on Ebay

	if you have a new roof fitted you should see your asking price come spring, have a try on mx5-nutz before getting your time wasted on ebay, unfortunately SWMBO says that i can't spend more than £500 on "another old banger " so I'm out.
