Love the speedster!

Me too. It was beautifully finished, no corners cut. The owner drove from Eastbourne all the way up to Donington in the pouring rain to help make the video. I had to harangue him by text "weather lovely here" to stop him from abandoning his journey as I was really keen to include it in the finished video. If you google "MX5 restorer" you'll find his website. He also brought along a lovely turbo'd MK1 to the MotorPunk trackday, a really nice chap too.

Nice video lads.

 

Interesting that the pop-up headlights on the MX5 seemed not to copy the Elans, in that;

 

- both come up at once

- both go down at once

- they don't break, both in the down position, at night

 

Clearly the Elans had a similar control system for their (revolutionary at the time) electric windows as they always failed in the down position when it was raining.
