Are you still in Eunos Ecosse despite your 5 being killed off by the dreaded tin work?
I sold my silver MK2.5 sport but still have my mk 1. I wanted something a bit quicker but still cheap to own and after a fair bit of hunting found a 2003 R53 and I am loving it. It had a few mods when I bought it and I did a few more so it's getting more and more track orientated.
While looking around for the right car I ended up finding a lad about Manchester area who buys and sells good minis. In the end I didn't buy from him but I kept in touch and put a young Eunos Ecosse member in touch and he bought a car from him. If you drop me a pm I will give you all the details. If you want to have a drive in mine then you would be very welcome. Maybe meet at Kames some time.
Hope you find a great one to add to your collection!
Catch up soon

Hello stranger! Hope you're recovering well from the skiiing accident? Had been meaning to get in touch to see how you're enjoying your new car! I've thought for a few years now that R53s would make a good subclass in the sprint/hillclimb series, like A9, as there are a few about at reasonable prices. I'm still a Eunos Ecosse member (for now at least, they might throw me out when I don't have an MX5 any more!), did their Kames trackday last November which was a lot of fun, even if my MX5 had died by then. Spent a while today trying to rip bits off the MX5, the more I can sell, the bigger my Mini budget

Sounds like you found a nice one with all the right bits, your MX5 was a bit like that too if I recall! Thanks for the offer of a drive, might take you up on that if I don't find one soon.

Cheers,
Jamie
