Car drives great, the throttle response is amazing, engine revs freely, handles corners and bumps without any drama thanks to the BC racing coilovers, no knocks or noises from suspension, everything has a great solid feel to it.
I’m an MX5 enthusiast and member of the owner’s club – I’ve owned many of the limited editions over the years, and this is one of the nicest examples of the RS limited I am aware of. It is a pleasure to drive and the condition is excellent throughout and can be used and enjoyed straight away by the new keeper. Reluctant sale due to having a few too many cars at the moment and a future house move.
Considering the rarity of RS’s coming for sale this is a real bargain for someone and a rare opportunity to buy one of these appreciating editions, admittedly missing the original recaro seats – the Lotus Elise seats are more comfortable and still maintain the look of the RS while still being worth a fair amount on their own. Coupled with the other upgrades mentioned this has to be one of the best equipped and spec’d MX5’s available. You could swap out bits on this car and get to most of what im asking, considering the price of these cars is going up year on year, there really isn’t any scenario where you can lose money on it.
Priced to sell, any questions, viewings and test drives are welcomed. Strictly no timewasters, if you are not sure you want to buy an MX5 RS then please do not waste my time or your own. Additionally I do not have time to send 20 pics to 20 different people, so if you are genuinely interested please just give me a ring and come and view the car. My last rare MX5 was sold to someone on the other side of the world so I am comfortable with facilitating export if required as I know these editions are in demand and worth a lot more outside of the UK – just ask. Thanks for looking!
