Midas Mk3 coupe - sold

Postby paulr » Sun Feb 12, 2017 5:00 pm

We are undecided on whether the time has come to sell our Midas Mk3 coupe "Ruby".

We bought her in may 2010 from a well known midas enthusiast who had completed a full rebuild including:-

Complete body strip - spray in 2 pack and rebuild.
Interior retrim and full carpet
Subframes blasted and powder coated along with many suspension components
New discs/drums and calipers
All stainless brake lines
New steering rack
Stainless exhaust
New SU carb
Entered in Stoneleigh show 2007 and won best gold coupe 2 years running.

During our ownership she has been our 3rd car and we have enjoyed holidays to east anglia, cornwall and to France as well as local useage.

We have fitted a lead free cylinder head/electric fuel pump and MX5 cloth seats.

Engine is a standard single carb 1275.

V5 shows her as a Midas first registered 7.11.88 and previous owner understood her to be a factory built car.

We are her 3rd owners - the previous owner having bought her in 2004 and the first owner having had her from new.

With conflicting demands on our time we have not been using her as much as we had in the past and hence are wondering if the time has come to sell her.

We (and Ruby) are based in West Sussex where Ruby has always been garaged (company car can live outside!).

Please see photos below taken today 12th feb 17 - if you think you might be interested in Ruby you can reach us on 01903 814197

PS She is currently taxed and MOT'd (expires late april)

UPDATE

Ruby collected yesterday by John and gone to new home back in the north of england - good luck John hope you enjoy her as much as we did over the past 7 years - feels very strange today to have a Ruby shaped hole in our garage for first time for so many years,

best wishes

Paul and Sarah Ryan

I wonder if Russell wants to buy it back?
