Steven Fisk motors in Summerhill Co Meath has 2000 BRG 1.6 or 1.8 , not sure any more details but tell him I send you ,might give few quid off.It was his wifes car but I never seen it .I have his number if you need it.Might be a v spec as it has tan roof etc

I think I've seen said car around before (I live near Summerhill). Looks like a clean car.

[MX5Spares]

Not sure but check it out.

Fergal, rust is major issue with mk2/2.5 especially under front chassis legs.Put your hand down behind the rad area and have a good oul grope around but concentrate on bottom of chassis leg itself.Arches and sils after that.JDM or original Irish is best but NOT uk rot boxes

Are northern Ireland ones going to be as rusty as UK ones or better? Few nice ones up there.
How big a job is it to get new metal welded in?

[MX5Spares]

N.I. ones are just as bad.Lads from up there buying down here so what does that tel you !!Whats your bedget as nice RS blue oe for sale in Clonee area,Peter is his name and iuts on donedeal

I can confirm what Robert is saying , I've saw a few N.I. cars in Donegal and they are complete rot boxes especially the 2.5s
The jap or irish cars are you only choice and remember the irish reged cars could have come from N.i. or England your best to avoid these , ask me how I know !
Best of luck with it

So glad my mk2 is a jap.

spoke to the insurance company and it was a definite no jap imports statement from them, limiting my options.

What are mk3s like? May have to go that way.

[MX5Spares]

Mk3 well known for soft engines especially after 70k on clock.Used engines are selling for 1500e, so what does that tell you

Do they not only do classics?

My renewal isn't up until November so was hoping to switch over and let herself get insured on the daily.
