One of the last MK1s built, special Classic edition, 1 of 400 made. 1. 8 litre, 131 bhp engine with only around 85000 miles. 2x Keys, Power Steering, Black Leather seats, Tonneau Cover, 15 inch alloy wheels.
In near original condition with recent restoration to remove common areas of rust on these cars.
I have owned the car for 2 years, it has been kept garaged and only driven on dry days. The previous owner looked after it for 7 years.
Passed MOT in March 2024 with no advisories and there is a comprehensive folder of receipts for all of the work and regular servicing done for the car.
Bodywork:
The car is finished in Brilliant Black which remains in great condition for the age as can be seen in the pictures. It polishes up really nicely and I have taken it to several classic car shows round the country. In September 2019 the following extensive work was carried out by the MX5 Restorer in Pevensey:
-Both rear arches and sills were replaced, including inner sills, both rear quarters repainted.
-Front wheel arches replaced and repainted.
-Car received a full underseal and cavity wax including subframes and suspension arms.
-A new vinyl roof was fitted at the same time.
Evidence of this work can be seen on their YouTube channel ‘Light Up Lights Down’ as episodes 33 and 34 of 'Whats going on in the workshop'
Mechanical:
-Starts first time with a smooth idle and power delivery. Oil and filter has been changed by Mazda main dealer in June 2023, and by previous owner every year for the 7 years he owned the car, along with spark plugs, fuel filter, air filter, gearbox and diff oil when necessary. I had the gearbox oil changed by an MX5 specialist in Sept 2022.
-Full set of KYB OEM shocks and OEM springs along with drop links fitted in 2018. Full set of Genuine -Camber bolts have been fitted and 4 wheel alignment carried out so it drives straight.
-Cambelt, tensioners, water pump, front brake disks fitted in 2021.
-New rear brake disks and pads and front brake pads fitted in July 2023.
-Front and rear suspension bushes, CAS oil seal, clutch master cylinder and exhaust heat shield replaced in March 2023.
-Stainless steel exhaust back box fitted in 2023 which gives a nice deeper sound but not loud

The 15” alloys are unique to this special edition, and were professionally refurbished by previous owner. The alloys have 4 matching Uniroyal Rainsport tyres which are in excellent condition. The wheel centres have been restored to the original condition.

Very good condition with black leather seats. It has the original Momo leather steering wheel. Wind deflector and chrome style bar. Period correct Sony CD player.
