MX-5 OC Forum

 Finally got round to buying a white one, 1996 mk1, (now sadly gotta sell the v spec, very hard to do).

 Anyway, i need some photos of white 5s with a red mohair roof and silver wheels (very shiny) and  also ones with a black roof with gold wheels. seems i'm not allowed to have a red roof and gold wheels together,  (shmbo decreed), she's probably right but i wont tell her that.

 all help appreciated, thanks

Paul,

Here are some shots of my son's 1965 Sunbeam Alpine. He has restored it to be white with a red leather interior, red soft top etc with spoke wheels.  I have always thought that this would be a nice combination to reproduce on an MX- 5. If you made the whole of the interior red it could look very nice. Good Luck.

 hi tim, thanks for the pics, that is a beauty isn't it.  I had been looking out for an R2 ltd for some time, white with a red interior, but finally gave up. now have an idea of  either a light blue interior or a plum colour, not decided yet. or maybe even leave it black, really don't know

Maybe not what you have in mind

 like the fifth pic down, i assume they are rota rbs', i did look at those when i first bought the v spec, still like 'em
