1997 Mazda Eunos 1.8 VR-Ltd MK1 MX5 in lovely condition For Sale
Before I tell you more, let me tell you about Goodwood Sportscars and why should you buy from me:
I have been buying and selling Mazda MX5s for over 15 years now. While I'm a car dealer, I consider myself to be a car enthusiast above all else. I'll only sell cars that actual interest me as an enthusiast. I live, sleep and breath quick cars and have sold literally thousands of performance cars over a thirty year period. I have competed in various forms of motorsport including the Scottish Hillclimb Championship (in an MX5 of course). So I'm pretty good at spotting a good car and at making one work to the best of its ability. I've had many thousands of MX5s through my hands and know their strengths and weaknesses well.
Back to this car; registered in Japan in 1997, it has been owned by a local lady for the last 8 years. The bodywork, both the bits you can see and the bits you can’t, are all in lovely condition with no rust in the usual places: wings, sills, wheel arches etc. Its had minor sill repairs a couple of years ago and its all sound and solid underneath. To be clear then, there is no rust in any of the usual places such as wings, sills or wheel arches. The paintwork is very good indeed with just a minor stonechip here and there but no dents, bad scratches or anything else to worry about. Underneath its all good too with solid floors and sills and running gear. Its a very good looking car, helped by the black mohair soft top. It has its original 15” Enkei alloy wheels fitted with a set of matching tyres.
Inside, the black leather seats show some signs of age (quite a few creases) but no bad wear of splits. I have just treated these again with leather balm which has restored some suppleness to the leather. All trim – dashboard, door cards and carpets - are in good undamaged condition. It has its original leather-rimmed Momo steering wheel along with a matching chrome Momo gearknob. A decent Sony stereo CD player is fitted complete with headrest speakers (great when you’re driving with the top down).
Mechanically, its in quite standard – or unmessed about with – condition, and is all the better for that. The engine feels incredibly strong – much quicker than most MX5s I get to drive – with lovely torque. In fact it will pull from 1000rpm in fifth gear and sit happily at motorway+ speeds all day long. There are no oil leaks or odd noises and its just brilliant to drive. I have driven many Mazdas with substantially less miles that are nowhere near as nice to drive as this one. The gearbox and clutch are just right as are the brakes. Its had a comprehensive inspection by me along with a full service including new oil and filter, new air filter, spark plugs etc. Both front calipers have just been stripped, cleaned and set up properly.
There is a good collection of paperwork including lots of old MOT, tax discs, receipts and it has the original owners handbook (handily in Japanese). Its just been MOT tested again and is ready to be used and enjoyed. Any prospective buyer needs to drive this one to see how a good a decent Eunos can be. Price is a firm £5500.
I'm based in Berwick on Tweed, near the Scottish Border and I can collect any prospective buyer from the local train station or I can arrange to have the car delivered by a trusted transport company at extra cost. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions – if you are genuinely interested, you’ll have plenty and I’m happy to talk about MX5s all day. I'm also happy to give you an honest description and if there any faults or issues with the car, I much prefer to tell you up front, so you are clear about what you are buying.
