Description
This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Iconic Sale at the NEC Classic Motor Show 2024 - Cars on Saturday the 9th of November, NEC, Birmingham, B40 1NT. The Recreation Collection was assembled by a gentleman, now deceased, who had a passion for cars, owning at one stage some 38 vehicles. A particular enthusiasm of his was for replicas of the rarest and therefore most expensive examples. Judging by the receipts on file and the high prices paid in period, he could’ve bought at least one real example for the price he paid for the others! These are special cars and worthy of serious consideration, offered, tantalisingly as they are without Reserve.
The most expensive of all cars when sold at auction yet the subject of very few replicas. Based on the very capable and famously nippy Mazda MX-5 which was first registered on 12th May 1995, and retains its original wallet with hand book and service book. Although given a new lease of life when clothed in the stunning fibreglass body, wheels and period accessories, the base car is subject to a Category C marker.
The car’s exhaust note is joyful and the interior is nicely trimmed. Presented to auction with its V5C, an odometer reading of 84, 991 at the time of cataloguing and an advisory-free MOT valid until 23rd September 2025.
Tantalizingly offered without Reserve and guaranteed to turn heads.
