The Mazda MX-5, of course, needs no introduction but perhaps the Z-Sport Edition does. This UK only special edition was limited to just 400 units, was based on the top specification 2. 0 Sport model and originally sold for £19, 995. ‘EP07 DZR’ is one of just 322 models thought to remain and is being offered here with no reserve. ‘EP07 DZR’ has much going for it, too. Just three owners to date and a sensible mileage of 71, 500 miles covered. What’s more there is a solid service history recorded and an advisory free MOT in place until February 2026. All in all, this is a rare, limited edition MX-5 with a great provenance and diligent service history. Definitely one for the connoisseur.
The Z-Sport Edition started with the UK’s top specification 2. 0 Sport model as its basis and was inspired by the Japanese “Blaze” Edition. The Sport already boasted a 6-speed gearbox, Bilstein suspension and a limited slip differential. Externally the Z-Sport added a unique Radiant Ebony Mica livery, clear indicator lenses and a sublime and unique set of 17-inch multi spoke BBS alloy wheels. ‘EP07 DZR’ exhibits all these exterior refinements with the vendor rating both bodywork and paintwork as “good.” The Z-Sport cabin added Stone coloured leather upholstery with heated front seats, alloy pedals and stainless steel MX-5 inscribed scuff plates. This bright and well equipped interior earns an “excellent” rating and also features climate control and a six speaker audio system.
The mechanical specification of ‘EP07 DZR’ remains that of the 2. 0 Sport model. That consist of the 1, 999cc, four cylinder, four valves per cylinder MZR engine producing 160 bhp and 188 NM of torque. In original order that was good for a 130mph plus top speed and 0-60 mph in under eight seconds. The Bilstein suspension and limited slip differential helped ensure that this range topping MX-5 retained the model’s reputation for peerless on road dynamics.
In summary:
· A limited edition model from just 400 ever made
· Offering a range of unique Z-Sport features and attributes
· Together with a full service history and ample additional paperwork
