thats pretty nice, even comes with it\'s own washing line on the back.

Not to keen on the wheels though.

Only says that its \'CHIPPED\' not a proper ECU. But looks good enough.

Strange, there was a wide bodied MX-5 with the same sort of decals on ebay last week - pictures look like it was taken from the same spot.  Does he say whether he\'s a trader or not ?

Hey,
He\'s not exactly a trader, more a hobbiest salesman.  Nice enough chap.  A little bit lean with the whole truth when I bought my REX off him 6 months or so ago.  Only a little dodgy tho.  My car was bought with 12 M.O.T. which it would never have legally passed (I know - I got it re-tested!) due to extreme trye wear and window damage...  I had to do a LOT to my precious to get her purring again.  Said a few daft things to me when I was looking at the car, like "I havent glued the bolt cover caps on the alloys yet"!  GLUE?!?!?  I dont know if he thought I was a bit simple - or if he was a bit simple.
I saw that silver car.  It was a nice enough example.  The passenger door handle IS broken (things like that I doubt you\'d find out until you went to see the car and noticed it yourself) and the engine wasnt idling quite right.  The ecu is an aftermarket as far as I remember.
Hope that helps.

P.S. dodgy steering wheel!  ;)
