This very well presented 1997 Mazda MX-5 is evidently well cherished throughout, benefitting from a professional and invoiced body restoration in July 2025 to realign its condition to the very respectable history. Supplied and purchased from 'Pinewood' Mazda, a honest and original condition has been withheld since, with only 78, 300 miles and 4 previous keepers, with ownership remaining within the Suffolk and Essex area for the majority of its lifespan. In addition to the original 'Pinewood' keychain, both front and rear 'Pinewood' Dealership plates are present and included, but replacements have been fitted. Optioned with the more powerful 1. 8 Engine and no further assists, this example offers that nimble and raw driving experience that enthusiasts crave.

Followed by a full 2 stage machine polish and coating for remarkable condition presented today. The interior shows near to no age related wear on both seats and trim. Both windows, being the manual anternatives, work reliably and without issue.
After receiving a thorough underside and mechanic check-over and service prior to sale, replacement upper control arms and drop links were fitted to rectify past advisories and to supply the valid advisory free MOT till 1st May 2025. The cam cover gasket was replaced in requirement of a cambelt health check, ensuring for a very healthy mechanical condition all round. A respectable history folder accompanies this ready-to-go example of a lower mileage, honest and warranted rust free MK1 MX-5.
