Hi. John sorry to here your getting out of seven ownership bought a oldish s type jag couple years ago as a run about when I got out my back ached ,,but no problem with seven. Not a Mazda though. As Rodger said. Porsche Boxter sounds good alternative. Never had one but no couple people. Thought they were great. Poss self in few years. May get another motor. Boxter or. Always liked mgbs. Had quite a few. But if finances allowed. Would always have seven even if sold mine and bought. Cheaper one. Just to look at in garage. And go out now and again. Derek
