Selling up: MX5 based Roadster

[PorkChop]

A part of me doesn't believe I'm writing this, but it's time to face it - I'm not going to get my Roadster finished any time soon. I have my other autosolo / hillclimb car and a house taking up my time. This is a tough decision and one I've agonised over for the last few days.

I've barely touched the car in since doing an awful lot of work to take it to Stoneleigh in 2015 (where it was on SA Motorsport's stand).

Some of you may remember it, a lot of people had some very nice things to say about the car and its build

So, what's up for grabs?

Fully welded and painted chassis (with SSC mods to take MX5 running gear) with SA Fabrication and Motorsport full roll cage. Currently a rolling chassis.


Some people may remember Johno and his work mates who each decided to build a Roadster and that they turned out very high quality fabrication. My chassis is one of theirs. You cannot fault the quality of the welding, it's really superb.

The roll cage is top spec, custom fitted to the chassis and a replica would cost you just shy of £1,000 on its own. All the mounting plates are fully welded.

Also currently fitted:

Pedal box
hard brake lines
MX5 brake master cylinder (looks brand new)
extended MX5 steering column
2.9 turn Escort steering rack, ally rack mounts, Talon rack extenders & new MX5 TREs

There are a lot of parts to go through and price up, so please bear with me - feel free to drop any offers in the meantime. I don't do dibs - money talks (either full payment or a deposit to hold).

I'm happy to meet people at Stoneleigh (I live approx 30 minutes away in Coventry area) and bring bits with me.

Thanks for looking
