This is the 'Nevada' I had for 6 weeks....Dunno why, just didn't get on with it.

On the up side I got more for it than I paid for it!

Pex'd it for the 'Sport' below....The one that wrecked it's gearbox, and atracted me to Mx-5.com where I met many nice people.....Most of who are on here now!

I don't particularly like silver but I do think the Mazda sunlight silver does look brighter than other silver cars when I park near to them

This one looks interesting for any NB enthusiasts .... just check out the extent of work done. I'd be tempted but for my well documented current dilemma !! Having said that ... can't get the registration plate to identify on the MOT history site !!

Thank you BD, Nick, Tim, Chris, Bill. Mark and Ali. The 2.5 is the sexiest MX-5! I am sorry but it is so curvaceous!
