Hi,

I've a 1.8 MK1 and am insured with Churchill for the sum of £221 a year fully comp. The roof excese is £300 though, yet the car is under 1/2 that.. clever of them to do that not.

I live in the BH19 post coded area and am 37, and have never had any points and have maximum no claimes.

think netti pays £280 fully comp through Aplan.
some of the companys dont like to insure the imported one so that could be a down fall.
ayshe had to fine a uk modal before she could insure one

It does seem that ppl are not so keen to insure them...

My own insurance company chap could not believe it was more than my GT lol

O well I guess I will just have to pay as I do like the car, took it for a little drive yesterday and it’s a very nice seating potion

if you want to contact them - their number is 736518. They insured mine - 1.6 1991 import - and like Bob says - only £281 (although I am "slightly" older that you lol )

Good luck :D

For once I feel old at 37.. also it seems like I'm the only guy on here with an MX-5 :(

Oddly my misses won't borrow it or even drive it when we go out.. something about it being too low and too hard and sounding too sporty ?

Can't think what she means :lol:

Be nice to have in a car that handles well for once!!! The GT is not such a fan of country lanes.... Not yet anyway.

Well one the coilovers and wheels have been taken off she will be standard for how long is any one guess lol

I don’t think modding her is even something I would think about to be fari but I would like to tart her up a bit as she is a bit ruff around the edges when I get her I will post up some pics… I must warn you all she is not a patch on Netti’s or Lil D’s she is after all a £500 car :D

I do hope so buster but like I say she needs a few new bod parts really which I may look at sorting out at a later date but for now she will just be my every day car while the GT gets her new bits added :)

The bodys on MX5's are normally pretty good, check around and under the front pop up headlights for rust.. also check the rear of the seals (where mine has gone)..
