Probably a flawed attempt at making it more reliable.

MX-5 donk, small, lowish powered & already RWD. Probably one of the easiest ways to drop a modern engine in & ruin a classic.

Re: EBay Finds
I would give it a decent paint job and fit some carpets as well as getting it mechanically sound but leave it at that.
It's too nice a car have looking like shit, but to fully restore it would be a crime.

Re: EBay Finds
If it was totally sound, is the car it porports to be and mechanically spot on but just lacking the aforementioned paint job I would happily pay that for it. Sooner that than a two-packed RHD conversion full of modern "improvements". 12K IS a lot of money and much more than I could ever justify on a car but there are far worse ways to spunk that much on four wheels.

Re: EBay Finds
Lovely as it is I have had a P4 before and they are a bit boring to be honest. If anyone is interested in it I am in Weston at the weekend so could have a look at it.SiC wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2019 7:06 pm This is more affordable though
