Rich Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 Went on a walk today around a farmer's field, which has this knackered old barn in it. I spotted a car at the back so went for a quick look. MK1 MX5 looking in a sorry state! One for car SOS I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam_r Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 Least it will be rust free! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 Many hours to bring that up to a sale price.... Personally i would take that on as a project..... How much does the owner want? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted June 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 I didn't look properly but the shell certainly looked in good condition. Tony, I don't know if it's for sale, it's just been left in a barn on a farm. The owner might be keeping it for a retirement project. I don't even know if the engine is in it.

eddie Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 Looks like a lot of work to sort that out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam_r Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 Perfect donor for a franken k swap project! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 I think it's been used as a donor car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted June 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 That was my thought unless the missing parts are somewhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 Other than the missing parts it seems it seems in good condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted June 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 If I walk that way again I'll try and get a closer look. It's probably been there years with that amount of dust. Barn looked fairly dry despite looking like it was falling down from outside! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 I had another look the other day. I couldn't get right up to it but it's a mess. Massive hole in the dash, smashed windscreen and other damage. Most of the car was missing. The shell from what I could see had some rust but nothing too major, although these cars rust inside out. But maybe they're keeping it for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 Wonder what happened to all the parts taken off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 I'd imagine it was stripped to sell the parts on. I can't see the front but it could be accident damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
