Pop ups vs baby viper:
Still massively prefer the look of the MK2, but would happily take an MK1 also!
124s are an option, though they're a bit more chunky like the MK3 MX-5 and so rare over here that's it's rarely worth considering. Will just wait a few more years for the MK4s to become a bit cheaper and grab one of those if the MK2 continues its natural water/salt-based weight-reduction programme.

Apparently the MK2s are even worse in terms of rust resistance (or lack thereof). Damn shame as there's no real alternatives that aren't incredibly rare. Will likely pick up an MK4 when my one finally bites the bullet, but they look a bit naff IMO. This modern trend of aggressive styling really should not have been applied to MX-5s (IMO)
