Description
I have owned this Mazda MX-5 for just over a year now and after covering just over 1000 miles in the year i realise I do not need a second car, however much I love it.
Family owned for over a decade! The previous owner of 9 years was my grandfather whom loved and cared for the car throughout his ownership, he had the welding on both sills done A few years ago, some surface rust to one corner but very solid. Could do with some more to the arches and boot as pictured, but has not been mentioned on any MOT’s to date.
During my ownership the car has given me no problems, MOT’d till march 2025 and shouldn’t have a problem going through again next year. Has had a brand new Varta battery earlier this year and works a treat. The engine runs smooth and quiet, no holes in the exhaust, the gearbox is sweet and feels great to shift. The tires are all Avon ZF-1’s, front tires have 6mm and rears have 5mm.
The car comes with plenty of history as shown including some services, mots etc. Doesn’t have every stamp or invoice but is fairly comprehensive, also comes with both original keys (fully working) and original manual, service book, etc.
I have also installed a dash cam/ rear view parking camera which switches to rear view when the car is in reverse, great bit of kit and also means you get a front and rear recording if needed for insurance claims etc. The car has also had a rear luggage rack installed previously by my grandfather, structurally rigid and ready to use but has some rust to the fixings on the side which can be replaced for about £10 if it bothers you. Can also remove either or both for the new owner if not wanted, easy to uninstall.
The bodywork has some marks here and there as pictured, mostly surface level scuffs and a dent to the rear passenger quarter. No category write offs etc and generally a really great runner, never had any issues starting up, a fairly low mileage example of a mk2 MX-5 facelift.
Excellent mechanical condition, no nasty knocks or noises when running or driving. Could use some tlc to the body in places as pictured but overall pretty good for a car more than 20 years old now. The engine doesn’t smoke or burn oil, idles well but is smooth and has good torque across the rev range, there are no warning lights either.
Interior is in great condition, has the flip down wind deflector in great condition, genuine Mazda chrome door kick plates and chrome air vent surrounds. The drivers door window pushes the door card out of the way when rolling up but both windows roll up and down with no issues, drivers is auto too. I replaced the floor mats with brand new fitted mats just a few months ago, good quality too.
Any questions please just ask! I am available every day after 7pm due to work, some days I am available all day (days off) but these change based on my rota so feel free to leave me a message whenever and I will get back to you asap after 7pm if at work.
