I'm pretty sure that it was set up as a plan B by a couple of ex CUK members.

I can't remember who it was though.

Ah ok. My understanding was that they grew out of the ashes of Scimitar and were a family run business. The About Us page has more details.

It does mention a relationship with iBridge - their "computer system partner". Perhaps that is the CUK link?

How d'ya mean?

Isn't MX5parts.co.uk not a million miles from being known in these parts?

Bought an Ebay banger……

Mmmm. I like sausages. Wouldn't buy them from ebay, though.

I had a 1960 registered VW beetle bought for £2k sold a year later for £2,750 and didnt do a thing to it!

Buy the right car and you'll not lose any money..

True - buy an MX5/Eunos in the winter then sell it in the summer and you'll easily make some money on it.

Good luck with the rear calipers...

I thought I saw an advert for Wilmslow this morning on the M62 (a road he uses). I passed a van with the words Wilmslow Plant Hire and figured it might be him offering his cabbage like services - but then remembered he was a permie

Wilmslow isn't a plant, he's a wedge!

(The simplest tool known to man!)

'H' plate here. Do you use MX5parts.co.uk much?



When we finally get a summer anyway - the last couple of years have been pretty grim.

I have had a Eunos before, and rate MX5PArts very highly.

Autolink is also a good place, but more of a hobby owner than a dedicated business like MX5Parts.

Getting delivery sorted out for Saturday evening - cannot wait :driving:

Yeah, I've been pretty happy with them too - there are some real bargains on there from time to time.

Its a Japanese grey import, ie not homologated for Europe, but basically the same car.

I would think you could pick up used callipers from a breakers quite easily if they don't free-off.

I have a 20 year old jap import and the biggest problem I have is finding replacements for broken trim, window seals etc..

You will enjoy having a convertible though

Isn't a Japanese MX5 just an MX5, what with Mazda being Japanese?

It's just the first gen that were branded differently in Japan:

In Japan, the car was not badged as a Mazda, as the company was experimenting with the creation of different marques for deluxe models, similar to Nissan's Infiniti and Toyota's Lexus. Instead, the Mazda MX-5 was sold as the Eunos Roadster in that market.

Automatic Eunos Roadster. Basically a Japanese MX5.
