Description
For sale here is my beautiful, low mileage Mk1 Mazda MX5.
Much loved genuine UK car in completely standard spec, just as Mazda intended. In superb condition inside and out, I doubt you could find a more lovely example.
1997 (P) 1. 6 manual in ‘Classic Red’ with black interior.
Only 66485 miles with full service history and MOT until June 2025.
As you can see in the photos the paintwork is in great condition, as are the classic Daisy wheels with good premium branded tyres all round. There’s no evidence of rust in the usual places and the rear arches and sills still look original with the factory spot welds still visible on both sides.
The hood is in great condition with a nice clear rear window, plus there’s a matching cover for the hood when it’s folded down and a rare full tonneau cover for the cabin.
The interior is totally original aside from a modern head unit with handy USB and AUX inputs running through the factory speakers. The seats, carpets and trim are all in excellent condition as you’d expect in such a low mileage car.
I have the original Mazda documents wallet containing the service record book, owner’s manuals, radio manual, spare key and even the salesman’s business card from the supplying dealer, AF Tann Ltd.
Lots of money spent recently to keep it in tip top condition, including:
Service and timing belt change
New cam cover gasket
New (standard) cat back exhaust
All suspension cleaned back and painted
New rear spring
New rear brake caliper and pads
Daisy alloys refurbished
The car has also just been valeted inside and out so along with the recent service and timing belt change it’s completely ready for its new owner.
This is a rare chance to buy a genuine UK Mk1 in superb, original condition. It really is as good as it looks in the photos, probably better. If you know your MX5s you’ll know just how difficult it is to find one like this.
Questions and viewings are welcome. I’m near to Chichester on the south coast.
