You're right about the alloys. 1998 to 2001 mk2 MX-5 1.8iS alloys. They were then used on the mk2.5 1.8i standard trim between 2001 and 2005.

Because of the short wheelbase the ride is only so-so on the stiffened springs. My wife had one from new. When it was a couple of years old I fitted TRD springs all round. Turned it into a little missile. It handled beautifully on the twisty bits and looked so much better with its lowered stance. When she traded it in one of the salesmen bought it for his wife.

None were manufactured in France like the standard Yaris.

This car's done very well to last as long as it has. Toyota paint is very soft and would polish up very nicely without effort. The interior would come up like new with a good valet. The front bumper removal/refitting would have occurred when it was quite new, hence no recording on the checks.

@mikeman5848 ай бұрын
From the general feedback here ,I would say a qualified yes save it. The deciding factor I would imagine will be the welding. As you have mentioned before the price of second hand stock through the auctions it might make you a wee bit of decent margin. It will be interesting how it pans out.

You could put at least £700 into this (if not a good bit more) & it's still only going to last someone a year, maybe 2 if they're lucky. I wouldn't give you more than £1200 for it with a year's ticket on it & a quick service.
