Thanks to everyone for the welcome and good advice.
I'll keep looking for the right car but they're like hens teeth. The other local dealer (Lifes in Southport) don't seem to have any stock except their demo Plus 4. Suppose i'm lucky though, to have two dealers within an hours drive.
I'll just have to put up with the MX5 for the moment :o) not a problem but once you get an idea in your mind, well, you know!
