So, my son’s beloved VW Scirocco (he’s 22 and it’s his first car, paid for by him) has suffered a terminal issue with the engine leaving him out of pocket and in need of a car to get to work. Seeing as I’m a TZ-er, I suggested an MX-5 and he’s very keen (insurance is also half of the scirocco!) - considering he’s got to pay back his loan on the first car before selling for scrap, he doesn’t have a heap of money (ideally 3-4k, potentially 6k if it gets you a much better example and dad feels generous!). I’ve done a bit of research and settled on MK3’s - they seem to suffer less from rot and he’s 6’ foot 2’’ like me and he fits in one! - any tips from the hive mind? He also wears a Seiko Sumo and occasionally a Barbour jacket if that helps?!? I’ve never owned an MX-5 but I’ll be a named driver so it’ll be another TZ bucket list ticked off after Red Wing boots ;) - I’ve got normal bloke in his early 50’s car knowledge but any pointers very gratefully received!
