I have enjoyed owning my FD for some years now but I’m at a point where I don’t have the time to focus on it properly and think that someone else should look after it. As you can see it’s generally standard spec and looks it but with some minor mods, and mileage is low. It was repaired to a high standard in 2009.
I’m looking for £8750.00
Please pm me for any more information

;D ;D ;D
Would love too :P :love4:
But I fear my better half would have something to say about it if I did. Once both KIMI's are up and running I might consider selling one and replacing with a FD, so not imminent ;D
Bumping back up
Some interest........
Maybe better to put the car on ebay and piston heads.. .problem with forums is that people on them tend to have the car already lol.
It looks a great car and should sell on 1 of those platforms.
Were abit thin on ground here at MRC too. As the cars lean out so do the members.

Thanks yes :)
Need to do some prep but have a shortlist, some with pistons I'm afraid, but will not be rushing.
Another sort of 7 perhaps........
or Elise
or something along those lines I expect, always fancied an Elan +2 but not allowed to have a canoe that does 120mph :-X
perhaps need to see your westie!
Ive had a look at exiges and elises...shot up in price so much...i had a vx220 2.2 in the past. Erratic handling in anything other than dry condition...think in part due to lack of lsd...
A seven is nice but very much like a motorbike fair weather only....put it this way i wouldnt have another...think that goes for anything open top atom caterham etc...
There defo seem a gap in the market for an affordable reliable fast n fun sports coupe or convertible.....if i could get a lotus supercharged k20 engined for 10k i would move on but they are not out there...just cant have it with the rover engine...
Good luck with your choice and hunting lets us know what you get.

Sure, yes tested a 220 once......
We actually drove a pair of 7s across Scotland to Skye in October a few years ago so know what you mean but it was a great drive.
So I'm starting to look or I'll have to wait for an rx9! In the meantime we have just got a vw up and that is like a kart :-)
Yep back to basics and road legal thrills...
Recently done a thruxton trackday in a mk2 mx5 with basic mods bought by a mate for 850 quid...upgrade to brakes and suspension...so much fun no issues and exhilarating to drive on the limit...really did get me thinking aint all about being the fastest its about having fun..

Sounds good.... and the up! GTI with a turbo'd 1.2 is out next year....... but as you say that's prob still not quite "track"
so just gonna be cool and wait and see, good luck with yours!

Cheers mate....i do think about selling up daily lol both cars and get a track mx5 mk2.5 cheap track fun or a sorted rx8...
