Mate, I've gone through 3 Miatas and my best one was my 90B before they
started putting silly amenities in them.

I find the comparison lackluster. A Miata is a boring modern car (yes it's
more lively than say a modern Ford Crown Victoria) but it ain't no Moke.

Presumably you would approve of my friend's early 1990 MX-5 with about
120,000km,

Samurai? Slow and open. Definitely not classic and not very modifiable.

Yes and a crying shame. I bet if someone started selling MK1 Mokes and Minis
they will make a neat bundle.

I would buy another 90B Miata in a heartbeat BTW but it will never replace
my Moke.

Nice indeed but my first choice would be the mini "hotrod" with the 16 V
Jack Knight engine and 6 box. I only need the budget the man hours are no
problem Wink<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

In one word Correct.
I did drive 300 meter with it (150 go and 150 back) You would give money to
see the face of the salesman Wink<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
