>> MX5 coming from a dealer in Nottingham towards the end of next week.
I'll beat you to it then. Picking up the the "new" Arctic tomorrow, if spared. It's a dealer car, March registered, 4,000 miles, their salesman's car.
I was determined to sort things out on Tuesday, having discovered that the 2015 Sport Nav I had had first refusal on was not as 'mint' as billed.
My default position was to order a new SE-L Nav from DTD in Blue Reflex. I rang up about the Arctic which has been advertised for a month with 'images awaited', and was surprised it existed. It was only £300 cheaper than the discounted SE-L Nav, which I failed to improve on but it gains heated leather seats, parking sensors, and auto lights and wipers (and a bit of bearable bling).
The parking sensors, lights and wipers I don't really care about so I have traded off the newness for the leather (and £300, which has nearly paid for the insurance).
I might go to the owners' club national rally on Sunday, which is at Gaydon - entrance to the museum is free for members and it's a nice little run from here.
I don't intend to keep swapping it so I'm looking into rustproofing.
