An exceptional opportunity: first owner Mazda MX-5 with low mileage It's a rarity that will make many car enthusiasts smile: a first owner Mazda MX-5, originally delivered in the Netherlands and with incredibly low mileage. This car almost looks like it's straight out of the 90s, a perfectly preserved time capsule from a time when driving pleasure and pure mechanics were at the centre of everything. This MX-5 is undoubtedly a special appearance, a real collector's item for lovers of classics and sports cars. A car with a history From the moment it was delivered on 12 September 1994, this Mazda MX-5 was seen not simply as a means of transport, but as a precious possession, a companion for the most memorable moments. It was only taken out of the garage on sunny, dry days, to enjoy the best the roads had to offer. This wasn't a car that hung around in everyday traffic; it was used exclusively for special journeys, moments when the owner could really savour the pleasure of driving. The extremely low mileage says it all: every kilometre tells the story of a well-loved and carefully maintained car. The story of this MX-5 is a story of passion. A single owner, someone who saw the value of this iconic roadster from the outset and chose to cherish it rather than spoil it. This is reflected in the magnificent condition in which the car finds itself. From the shine of the paintwork to the roar of the engine, everything about this car exudes care and attention. Meticulous maintenance: technically as good as new Not only are the exterior and interior of this Mazda MX-5 in excellent condition, but the technical maintenance is exemplary. The car has undergone its scheduled service almost every year. The engine oil has been carefully changed, the brakes have been maintained to ensure maximum safety and performance, the tyres have remained in excellent condition, and every five years a new battery has been fitted. The result? A car that is technically as fresh as the day it left the showroom. What sets this MX-5 apart even more is the fact that it is completely rust-free. The first-generation MX-5 is notorious for being susceptible to rust in certain areas, such as the rocker panels, the edges of the wings and the bodywork underneath the car. However, this is absolutely not the case here. Thanks to meticulous maintenance and the fact that the car has never been driven in harsh weather conditions, the condition of the chassis and bodywork is absolutely phenomenal. Under the bonnet is the 1. 8-litre engine, a powerful version of the MX-5's legendary engines. While the 1. 6 engine is known for its dynamic and playful character, the 1. 8 offers a little more torque and stability. The 130bhp and 152Nm of torque ensure a perfectly balanced driving experience, where power and control meet in a harmonious dance. And while some purists swear by the 1. 6 for its lightness, the 1. 8 has its own group of enthusiasts who appreciate the extra power and smoothness. The only upgrade to this classic is DAB radio with Bluetooth, allowing modern technology to be enjoyed without disrupting the authentic experience. The iconic first-generation MX-5 This is a Mazda MX-5 of the N/ A generation, the very first version of this iconic sports car that saw the light of day in 1989. What makes this generation so special are the legendary pop-up headlights, which continue to fascinate enthusiasts around the world. It's a design choice that has become rare in the motoring world, but one that gives the MX-5 an unforgettable, playful character. The MX-5 N/ A has built up a loyal fan base over the years, not only because of its timeless design, but also because of its performance on the racetrack. The car has a large community in the racing world, particularly in the DNRT (Dutch National Racing Team). The MX-5 Cup is one of the most popular racing categories in Belgium and the Netherlands, where amateurs and semi-professionals compete on legendary circuits such as Zandvoort, Assen, Zolder and Spa. What makes this category so spectacular is that the cars raced are standard MX-5s, with a maximum power output of 130bhp and a minimum weight of 960kg. This makes the racing incredibly exciting, as it's not about raw power, but about technical skill and maximising the lightness of the bodywork. One of the most enjoyable aspects of the MX-5 Cup is the approachable and friendly atmosphere in the paddock. Here, it's not just about winning, but also about having fun...
