The car was bought from a private individual by my son in 2016 with 7 previous owners before him. He transferred the car to myself in 2022 as he is now living abroad. I would say that the paintwork is not in bad condition but what you may expect for a car of this age. There is a 'dink' by the passenger door from a car park at local supermarket, possibly by a shopping trolley.
The car has been most reliable and drives well with no disturbing engine noise. However the door locks would need some attention as they can be temperamental.
Hard top is put onto the car during October but would benefit from a re-spray. The pvc rear window of the soft-top if replaced would also improve the look but is water tight. (see photos)
The reason for selling the MX5 is that it is sadly not being used enough. The car is rarely driven in the winter and needs to go to someone who will make more use of it.

New battery summer 2022.
MOT expires 31 August 2024.
n/ s/ f shock absorber replaced for last MOT.

fun to drive and gives you a true yesteryear sports car driving experience. With the top down on a summer's evening is hard to beat.
