1996 Restored Mazda Eunos Roadster / MX5 SOLD

For sale is my 1996 Eunos Roadster. All work listed below completed within last 2 years

Car is a 1996 1. 8 type 2 car imported from Japan so benefits from torsen diff, extra bracing, newer ecu etc. Soft top isn’t in the car, it’s vinyl and can be included if you want it. Has a custco (I think) roll bar, mk2 hardtop with heated rear window. Has scratches here and there from where it was stored by previous owner but is presentable.

V5 in my name

Interior

Momo prototipo wheel
Better condition carpet out of another car
Seats are odd unfortunately but were the best condition ones I had.
Cheap Bluetooth CD player/ radio, no antenna so no radio.
S-Special floormats in good nick

Spares

I have a spare 1. 8 engine, 5 speed gearbox and torsen differential out of a ‘95 S-Special.

MOT’d until March 2022, 140 km/ miles on shell and engine - it’s a mixture like most imports.

Would benefit from an alignment but drives very straight and handles well. Burns a bit of oil like most of these that haven’t had a full top end rebuild but engine is completely dry, no leaks or drips whatsoever.

£5000 or best offer.
You’ll probably need to bring another car/ van if you want the spare engine and box etc. Car located just south of Edinburgh in Midlothian. Selling as I don’t have much time to use it.

Price without spares £4500
