Produced by Healy Designs, the Enigma is an exceptionally interesting vehicle. The Enigma utilizes the ever-reliable Mazda MX5 as the base for the vehicle, with a bespoke chassis and stylish GRP bodywork on top. This combination results in the reliability and performance of Mazda’s flagship sports car, with the class and attention to detail of a hand-built car.

As the Enigma is seldom seen on UK roads and has such iconic styling, it constantly attracts the attention of onlookers, who tend to marvel in excitement and are keen to learn more about the exotic car before them. It’s also not uncommon for the Enigma to be seen amongst supercars and high-end exotics at car shows, and rallies across the country. 

This particular example is based on the Mark 3 Mazda MX5, features the manual mohair roof, and is the perfect balance of performance and luxury.

The current owner is an automotive enthusiast with a taste for the more exotic vehicles, who first set their eyes on the Enigma during Lockdown. This particular Enigma was somewhat of a flagship vehicle for the brand, originally owned by a member of the Healy Designs team. It was even featured in an episode of Emmerdale and has been very well looked after throughout its full life. 

The current owner has taken this Enigma all across the country, alongside supercar clubs and other exotic sports cars. Being based on the legendary Mazda MX5, the Healy Enigma will happily keep up with much more powerful vehicles on the corners, thanks to its weight to power ratio and excellent grip.

This Enigma has been very well cared for and treasured by its owners and is now looking for a new home, ideally with a garage to preserve this exquisite car for many more exciting adventures.

Although this vehicle doesn’t have a formal service book, all due maintenance has been carried out by local specialists, and the vehicle will also receive a full service prior to collection. The V5 document is present and ready to sign over to the lucky new owner.

In the current owner’s possession, the vehicle has performed without issue, thus requiring very little work. However, the vehicle has recently been fitted with 4 new tyres, ready for its next adventure.

The interior of this Enigma is in excellent condition and is yet another area in which Healy Designs have outdone themselves with the styling. Upon opening the doors to this quirky vehicle, you’re greeted by a pair of gorgeous quilted leather seats, that somehow manage to bridge the gap between a sporty and luxurious feeling. You will also notice a very classy dashboard, complete with a double din screen and slick control instruments, all surrounded by hand-pieced trim.

Despite the Enigma being a rather sporty character, you will also be pleasantly surprised at the level of comfort and charm the interior provides. The lush leather seats hold you perfectly in place as you run through the gears, and you do truly feel the sheer elegance of the vehicle with each mile driven.

Convertible sports cars often suffer from similar issues when it comes to leaking roofs, squeaks, and rattles, but this Enigma breaks the curse. The cabin is dry, sealed well, and doesn’t produce any unnecessary noise.

The Healy Enigma is certainly a car that deserves your full attention in person and will have you falling in love with its quirky curves in no time at all. A sleek bonnet scoop vented front panels and sweeping lines give the Enigma a very sporty appearance, with the rear of the vehicle almost paying homage to the Austin Healey 3000. There are very few examples on the road of such a modern vehicle, with quite this much character and exotic styling.

This particular Enigma is in excellent condition, with near-flawless paintwork. The bold wheels are in great condition and are fitted with a new set of rubber, ready for the next owner. All trim pieces and lights are in great condition, with no major marks or damage. The classy mohair roof has been very well cared for, seals well, and looks brilliant against the Aston Martin Grey paint.

As the vehicle has covered very few miles and has been thoroughly looked after by its current & previous owner, prospective buyers will be pleased to know that the vehicle fires up right away and performs flawlessly. This Enigma utilizes the ever-reliable Mazda MX5 inline 4 engine & manual gearbox, and will happily run through the rev range in each gear without issue.

The pairing of the Ram-Air cone filter and exhaust provides a tasteful and rewarding note as you touch the accelerator, with the Mazda powerplant being more than enough to pull the lightweight Enigma through the corners.

All electrical components and gauges are also performing as intended, with no known faults whatsoever. With this being the manual roof model, there are no concerns with the roof mechanism, which can be folded up or down at the drop of a hat.

As the rather on-the-nose name may imply, the Healy Enigma is truly a unique vehicle. The act of combining traditional British body styling and the legendary Mazda MX5 base has resulted in an iconic driver’s car, with styling rivaling sports and supercars the world over. This is a car that should be on the wish list for many a collector, British automotive enthusiast, and true petrolhead.
