Anyone near Derby with a MX250?

21 Oct 2015, 10:21pm
Hi folks

I'm new on here having found the site after seeing details of the MX250 online. I've already got myself a Mk1 MX5 tucked away in the garage which I've been wondering what to do with, and it's looking like this will be the way I'll be going.
I was just wondering if there's anyone around the Derby area with a MX250 fixed head, or convertible who would be willing to let me come and have a look?
I'm tempted by a convertible, but think the fixed head is possibly the better looking car. However having never actually seen either in flesh it's hard to know.
Thanks Craig

Hi Craig, firstly wecome to the forum!

I am based near Northampton, not that close but about 1hr30mins, mine is in progress at the moment however progress is slightly thwarted by the weather. If there's nobody closer your are welcome to come by.

All the best, Ian

Hi Ian

Thanks for the offer, I may well take you up on it. I had a read of your build the other day, and it's coming along very nicely.

Hi

You are a bit far. Have you got many photos? I can find a few on the site, but I'd love to see some of a completed convertible from as many angles as possible.
