So, as many of you will remember my daughter went to Davos to work a ski season... She went to a VERY high end and earned very good money and even greater tips...She came home a month early due to Covid and has luckily been held up in the owners country estate in Hampshire cooking for the family... She has saved hard and for the past 3-4 months has been fully paid and cannot spend money when in lockdown so! She said "Dad..... I really really want a sports car and ive had my Fiat 500 4 yrs now!" So after searching hi & low for the exact spec'd MX5 Recaro Edition, in the Red she wanted! I got a call the other day saying "finally!!! Ive found one Dad, in a main agent, with a warranty & its in Mint Perfect condition having been a second/third car/summer toy..." And here it is!

my daughter was 21 yesterday, and we were talking about cars again, the MX5 is high up on her list, but may I ask what the insurance is like for a sports car, she presently has a Toyota Auris 1.6 Petrol - and the insurance is only £900

I wonder what's she's going to want for her 25th - 488 maybe?

Congrats miss Kat.  l=Oo\________/oO=l l:OolΞΞΞΞΞΞΞloO:l

That's a great achievement at her age and a lovely car. MY23 Panamera E-Hybrid

That looks like a fun car for her. They are a great handling car these days and as you say full of all the toys. I am sure she will enjoy

Guilty as ever, my son (19) has just brought himself a new Evoque HSE Dynamic Lux with Waitomo Grey pearlesent paint and pimento and jet interior with factory black pack. So although not quite a L405 but not a bad start for 19yrs. It does make you wonder what they will be driving in 10 years time (hopefully me!!)

I hope she enjoys it.

She is on the hunt so will let you know when she does

Obviously if she insured it on a new policy 10 days ago she would have missed her yr 4 NCB...

Is that the RF DrRob? Kat could have bought a newer standard trim one but took my advice that the Recaro Edition would hold its money well... Its a lovely spec'd car too

Tell Kat she is a star, excellent choice, must be a chip off dads block..!!

Oh and tell her I'm jealous because at 6'5" I can squeeze in the drivers seat and as long as I keep it in 1st gear I can drive one, nearly...!!! Pete

Yep, the RF in the same colour! Its a fun car for her commute over twisty South Downs but scares the out of me I like to be a bit higher off the ground

Well done that girl

Quite fancy an MX5 myself. Funnily enough I’ve never really thought of them as a woman’s car, what with the original ethos being one of a classic British roadster in the manner of an MGB.

I’ve got a couple of years before I need to get a veehickle for the boy. His 1st will not be anything flash, and have a max budget of a grand...... There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

The last time you did the proud Dad post a few days later you posted she had broken her wrist, perhaps a bit of Skid pan at Castle Combe might save another trip to A & E. letters not necessarily in the right order
