One headlamp blew- replaced for £8.99.
Leather tab on rear window zip snapped so I tied another one on.
Total bill- £8.99 in 70,000km, other than standard service items.
Cars don't come more reliable than this.
I get in excess of 40 miles per gallon on a motorway run! just keep below 4000 revs if you can. Mess with the Silver Germans and it's more like 25 miles per gallon.
My Roadster is still worth what I paid for it, give or take 500 pounds.
...and it is just so much fun. I love the way that boy racer in his XR1.1 who fills your mirror on the straight just disappears when you get to a tight bend or island. this car is on rails.
I so agree with this comment. We have a ’91 Eunos Roadster bought in September 2001 and did less than 2000 miles in our first year! Now I use it every day and just love the dry days when I can get the top off.
We’re going to invest in a new roof with a glass window, but other than that we’ve not spent anything on it in nearly 4 years.
When we bought our Eunos from Sam Goodwin Motors (now in Nuneaton) some friends treated the fact that it was an import with disdain. They had a ‘proper’ Mazda MX5 but, boy, you should have seen their faces when they realised that the spec of our 10year old import was better than their newer model.
We are members of a local church and there are now 5 Eunos/MX5 owners in our congregation– it looks so great to see them lined up when we all meet together.
The motto of this is: See it – love it. Drive it – Love it. Own it – Love it. We just love it.
Can't say I've had such goodluck. Do about 2500 miles a year and still get a huge bill just to pass an MOT. Parts which seem to have to be replaced after only two years wear!
