You are just paying for parts and a lot of work and no guarantee of condition. Its ok to guess value of used parts but another to get some of those prices. Also when you have finished what is really worth in this day of cheap cars?

For an 'old bloke' with a fat wallet, an unmolested SE would present as a good investment, weekend now, club rego and extra interest later complimented with the possibility of a good return on sale if their penises ever withered to the point that they did not want to drive one anymore.

P.S. I hope that Mr M never moves to temperance, his post would be so boring. :)

Ive noted your reaction to my joke, as a result I have chosen the appropriate answer and highlighted and zoomed in.

Thank you Dan, this fits perfectly with my post, the baby boomers (of which I am one) have a horrid fixation with money and believe that they will live forever. I did not work my arse off to educate my 3 children so that they could sit back and wait and as such I am more than intent on spending my wealth on stuff for me.
Greg.
P.S. I am not opposed to mods, my NC2 has a few, suspension, brakes muffler etc.....

High quality well observed graphage NitroDann, which applies to 99% of my customers, although in my case I appear to be going in the opposite direction - would love to give you a standard looking NB8B/C and some money and collect it a couple of weeks later, knowing that you already know exactly what I want it to do.
UK since return: Standard NC2 (horrid), C200K, ND2 BBR, NC2 BBR200 (loved it), NC BBR300 (better than BARMY), V-Special, turbo NB8B (my 84th car)

There is something going on with SE's.. People are asking more money for them than 07 PRHT NC's..It must be all about the extra 16 kilowasps..

I agree with Dann.

You can buy better used suspension, wheels, tyres, lsd and turbo kit, and still have a lot of change from $5,500.

The air conditioning is the only factor for the SE. But on said wrecked car, it doesn't hold any value.

Advanced apologies to other readers. I really shouldn't feed the trolls...

SE - If you have a lot of money, instead of being an arsehole on the MX5 forums, why don't you help the world a bit? Work in a animal refuge? Make a food donation to a group that supports mums and children escaping domestic violence?

I really need to stop clicking the display this post button. :lol:

An aftermarket turbo on my SE would be cool! I'm 35, the graph is legit!
