The Gleneagles pack included the tan leather, wood on the dash, wooden steering wheel and I believe the sill plates.
Just get it looking good and keep it standard and it will be a lovely car to own |
Gleneagles was a UK-only MX-5 limited edition from 1995/96. |
It could of had the extra put on  |
It could have had an RX-8 engine too

The numberplate thing on the bonnet is also illegal. MOT stations are cracking down on it.

Afraid not... it hasn't been legal since 1973... A decent thread from the owners clubs tells all: www.mx5oc.co.uk/forum/...ageIndex=1
Looks a nice car, I was looking at MX-5s for ages until the large amount of miles I was doing caught up with me. Ended up with Mazda3 instead 
EDIT: got the wrong year

Afriad so mate. It might go through an MOT, it just depends on who and what the tester is like.

That'll be brilliant fun when it's done! Heard the Mk1's are superb wee cars
Is it a 1.6 or 1.8? Don't really know much about them to be honest
And are you planning on selling it after it's all tidied up?

Good to see some Mx5 fans on here. If it's a 1.6 do you fancy selling it. Looks a tidy one for the track. We are just building 4 new mx5's for the ma5da championship

1.6
And yes it will be sold at the end of it, hopefully made to mint condition
Few more jobs needed to be done, and history tracing
Engine bay cleaned though
