Hi Folks,
I'm the Dutchman who bought the car... :-)
It is my 3rd MX-5 (and also had a 1941 Chrysler Royal woth a 383 Plymouth Roadrunner engine imported from the States).
I had a 2004 MSM before (and was the first who imported one into The Netherlands). That engine could not handle the combination if hard cornering, higher turbo pressure and a relatively faulty standard oil vapour ventiliation system...so it ended up eating most of it's oil.
I rebuild it with forged pistons and other rods and tuned stock turbo and read 270 hp and relatively large torque numbers, but I sold that one.
Now was looking for a even better step. A LS3 MX-5 is to expensive yet, so I found this car again in Ebay which I saw adverticed before about a year ago on this forum.
It will take about 4 weeks before it arrives here and I will surely have to some work to get a licenseplate on like put a cat on it, change the lighting etc. It is amazing to read here it took so much trouble to seel the car. I really hope I bought a 'big grin' package.

Hi Wouter,
Actually I have not seen the car yet as I left for China for 3 months about the same the car arrived in The Netherlands.
I will be back early April and than do the work to get the car through the trouble of putting a Dutch approved licenseplate on it (lightning, emission etc) and it will than drive in the neighbourhood of Zwolle :-)

Okay, first of all, sorry about bumping this old thread, but finding the original selling thread of my current Miata got me too excited!
I'm also 100% sure that this is the same car since I know all of the previous Dutch owners.
Like I said, the car it now owned by me, still driving.
But I'm sad to say that the fun parts have been sold by a previous owner (NOT Vincent!)
At this moment the car as a 1.8 vvt nbfl engine, stock 6 speed, na6 interior, a new wilwood brake kit and different 949 6ul wheels.
I am planning at putting a turbo/supercharger on the car, but that will take a while longer.
It still shows small marks of the 2.0L stroker engine that was in it, like holes for the intercooler piping etc.
The car in it's current state:
