Desirable V-Special specification with factory Nardi steering wheel and Lonza pedals
In current ownership for 22 years and garage-stored throughout
Highly original throughout
British Racing Green with tan hood and matching leather interior
MOT valid until August 2027
The Appeal
The Mazda MX-5, sold in its home market as the Eunos Roadster, is deserving of its uniquely iconic status. The MX-5 single-handedly revived the affordable, lightweight sports car in the British tradition, and quickly gained a remarkable reputation for drivability, dynamics and pure fun. The V-Special is among the most sought-after variants, distinguished by its factory-fitted Nardi steering wheel, Lonza pedals, and tan leather interior - a specification that elevates an already engaging car into something genuinely sophisticated.
This 1991 example was imported from Japan and registered on UK plates in 2004. It has been in the hands of its current owner since September of that year - a 22-year tenure - and has been garage-stored throughout. This sheltered life leaves us with a very impressive roadster from top-to-bottom, ready and waiting to be driven away. image.png1.39 MB
