[Glynn.]

as per title i have a mate who recently sold his mazda and is after a mk1
ive been searching religiously on eBay gumtree etc over the last week for something a bit close to home with no luck so far
if any of you guys either know of or have a mk1 currently for sale

thanks in advance

All I can say is be patient, they do come up just have to keep alert

[Glynn.]

I've heard of this patient thing before, just never practiced it
Need the perfect one to show up soon, as I don't want him to end up with a mOtorbike
Still awaiting for him to see this thread lol

there was 4 for sale recently in QLD all got snapped up quick! I picked this gem up a month ago

[Glynn.]

God damn that's the exact kinda thing he's after
How much did u pick it up for if u don't mind me asking?

The only reason I found this thread was because you told me you made it Glynn!
Yeah its me, Im officially on the lookout for a decent mk1 to call my own, I sold my RX2 a week ago after holding onto it for over 12 years, so Im looking for another long termer to go in the garage, the white one pictured above is right up my alley, but i was drooling over your blue one revnit, that is exactly what Im after to buy or build!
As Glynn said, any help in locating a good condition mk1 would be greatly appreciated, I am also bad with the patience thing and was out on motorbikes today lol
Cheers, Dave.

Cost me 5500k but its genuine 1 owner with 92000kms on the clock with full service history and original purchase receipt

Damn, thats still an alright price in my book, you get what you pay for these days, and the white one looks worth it to me.
Going to have to display a bit of patience, and as soon as a good one comes up im buying it!

have you thought of buying overseas and shipping one in?

My rule of thumb says the first one is never a cracker. It's the 3rd or 4th until you work out what you really want.

[GTI4ME]

Yeah I know, I am fairly sure I know what Im after, Im getting one checked out to see if the shell is worth saving (rusty) otherwise its back to the drawing board for me!

I say road trip dave

[Goon]

ROAD TRIP!!!!!!

Or just wait like me for a few years till one crops up locally..

[GTI4ME]

Road trip sounds great, we are taking your car Glynn, its cheaper on fuel than mine lol
I dont think i have a few years to wait, I really want to build a mk1 so i can have a daily that im happy to drive, plus my wife is going to spend the cash for me if I dont find something soon, and it wont be on a mk1 i can tell you that!
