Hello all, I would like to begin with a little story.
A couple of years ago I drove a 1990 Mazda MX5 owned by a very good friend. I enjoyed it a great deal. As I have been wanting a little rag top for some time I thought this would be the logical choice, and I started to search. Fast forward to a few weeks ago. One lazy rainy Saturday I happened to drive by a white "71" Midget. I thought I should at least give it a try and perhaps be able to cross it off a mental list. Big Mistake, I took her for a short spin, and like my first ever proper Ale, I was in love. I have looked at several since, and now I believe the stars have aligned and I found "the one". It is rather unusual in that it has a louvered hood, shaved exterior door handles and very glossy black paint job. Of course I am attracted to a more traditional look, but this one just seems so right.
My question to all of you vets that choose to respond is two parts. Should the "Custom work" work in my favor or the sellers, and is $4700 a fair asking price?
My heart is already sold, but I want to try to reassure my brain.
Thanks,
Doug
