Pre-bids

Highlights

The Appeal

The NB-generation Mazda MX-5 is already a rewarding driver's car, but this example takes things considerably further. A turbo conversion carried out by respected specialist MTec in Wiltshire lifts output to a reported 225bhp - a significant step up from the standard car that transforms the MX-5 into a rather visceral performer, particularly on the winding B roads it was born to tackle.
Complementing the added power, this car is fitted with uprated suspension and sticky tyres, along with bucket race seats that suit its more focused character. Backed by an MOT valid until March 2027, this turbocharged MX-5 is ready and waiting to thrill its lucky new keeper. Don't let this one pass you by!
