    I have looked at what has been through BCA in the last month and the only samples there for MX5 are 3 x 03 plates which went for £6,000 average. Your car is good news in that it has low mileage, good colour and a hard-top and also the best of the small roadsters as I am sure you found when you bought it!! Having sought the opinion of some Mazda guys in the trade I believe the car could make £5,000 plus if the right buyers are there, but be quick as the season is nearly over believe it or not I am being told that unless cabs come in over the next 2 weeks the price changes dramatically. Personally with the rarity of your car I would try e-bay as most auctions are at bursting point with cars, but good luck you do have a saleable car!

    Thanks for that, I've probably been too optimistic (greedy!) having it advertised at around £5,700.....will see what a reduction brings. Thanks again for replying

    Less than £1500 all in (hopefully)!

    Perhaps a slightly unusual one, but are there any Bentley's kicking about in the auction chain?

    Ideally...

    Bentley Turbo R / Mulsanne / Eight
    Circa 1990
    Location pretty much anywhere from Midlands down to south coast.

    I know it's not that specific, but I doubt there's hundreds of them going through.

    Thanks.

    BTW no Bentleys or Rolls for that matter.

    I wouldn't want a Rolls, as that's too flashy. Unlike a Bentley Turbo R...

    Oh...

    I'll just keep hunting around. I'm after a seriously cheap one with, ideally, a tiny amount of warranty available on it.
    I'm in no rush, and will only keep it for a few weeks, so if anybody sees one...

    Harvey, Happy and anyone else

    Is your BCA stored search emails coming through everyday as it should be? Mine has gone dead for a couple of weeks now even though I have stored searches ticked and there are some in stock, not that it should matter cos they always sent a zero in stock email anyway.


    BTW no Bentleys or Rolls for that matter.

    Wig,

    Mine have been hit and miss for a while, so I just dont rely on them, I tend to keep a spreadsheet, bit long winded but effective.
