Hi there,

Well the bug has returned! Time for another AW11 :)

Now that I've just completed my Paramedic studies it seems the perfect time for another.

I've spent the past year slumming ;) it in a 300zx, Corrado VR6, couple of Eunos'(one I still have), C30 T5, 350z, Navara, Pathfinder WD21, Wrangler YJ but now they are all gone bar the C30 and Eunos.

I need a mk1 back in my life, ideally a Mica blue as I've never had one in that colour. I've unfinished business with the AW11 and it's time to build my dream version. Blacktop 20v flavour :)

It's funny that of all the cars I've tried from my bucket list, I've never had the same connection or love as i have with the AW11. I've had some great mk1's in the past, hopefully I can find another good 'un.

Any help finding a great base to build on would be hugely appreciated. Budget up to £3k for the right one.

Here's a pic of the current line up.

I've got a silver one for sale right now. Just got 12 months MOT too. It's in the for sale section of the club.

Is the Mica blue one not on there anymore, was it a good one?

I like Ice blue Mk1's my 1.5 was that same colour, think I'll try wait a bit longer for a Mica blue one, though yours is very very nice and very well priced too.

My 1.5

Hi Paul,

Looks like a decent car, little over budget for myself, I'll bear it in mind but overall my preference lies with a Mica Blue Aw11.

I will actually consider any colour if the car is the right one for me. Even a red one which I've never fancied but I've seen a couple lovely red one's that have made me think twice.

Thank you, i regret letting the turbo go!

Ah yes it's relisted it seems https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262922207257. Few issues but not too bad if it was allowed to sell for the 1200 odd it made last time.

On a side note if anyone wants a mk1.5 my old one is for sale on IMOC.

Silver is a better choice of colour in my opinion but I am slightly biased, was thinking about selling mine but early days yet.

Jumpman, you've had some very nice cars in the past. I've just come from an mx5 mk1 and would loved to have kept both but funds and space were against me. Love the c30 T5...whats that like ?

That's a cracker, i wasn't sure about silver until I went and viewed my last AW11, fell in love straight away, great colour on a mk1. PM me if you're thinking of letting yours go :)

Thank you, I love the NA mx5's, cracking little cars and a lot of fun, the C30 makes a ace daily, lots of torque and power when needed and they look great, lots of looking back at it and smiling as you walk away. I get 30MPG out of it so that just meets my minimum criteria for a daily :)

Bump ✊

Can stretch the budget for the right one. That wouldn't be a stock one though, it'd have to have some decent mods.

Ta

P.s Strictly only sunroof or tin top(yeah right ��) though.

TTT, still looking :D

So now fancying a white one too, so Mica blue, silver, grey, white or black either sunroof or tin top. Max budget of £4K but ideally less so i can play with it. Mods welcome.

Hope everyone is well.

Hi Jimi,

Thanks for those, I had actually seen those, quite like the sound of the white one.

Don’t suppose you or anyone else know’s about the car?

Yes the White one looks pretty good, seems genuine and well looked after. The owner must have good taste as it looks like it has one of my brackets fitted (a genuine one) :D well worth a visit IMO

Haha yeah I spotted your bracket :) I’ll give him a bell, see what’s what.

Spoke with the “owner” of the half decent looking white one. The guy is a motor trader, not a personal car. All work etc from previous owner. Anyone close to Bradford area fancy viewing it for me?

Happily compensate you for your time :)

This I’ve found to also be true, just didn’t want to come right out and say it :o

Passing on that one anyhoo.
