Changed circumstances mean that my lovely, bright red Mazda MX5 is reluctantly being offered for sale. It was registered on 26th June 2008 (08 plate) and I have owned it for the last 6 years, during which time it has been completely reliable. Mileage is a shade under 88500; very low for the car’s age. It is MoT tested until 29th July 2024.

Engine size is 1. 8 litre and It has a 5-speed manual gearbox. It’s equipped with power steering, electric windows, remote central locking, alloy wheels with good tyres, air conditioning (which needs re-gassing) heated leather seats, and a radio/ CD player (radio works but the CD player doesn’t) with auxiliary controls on the steering wheel. It also has the desirable electrically operated folding hardtop, making it equally comfortable in summer and winter.

The car drives perfectly and is in excellent all round condition. It has been regularly professionally serviced during my ownership; all receipts for servicing etc. are available for inspection and will be passed to the new owner, along with two sets of keys, the V5C Registration Document, an Owner’s Manual, and the original tool kit.

It goes without saying that viewing is not only welcomed, but encouraged!

Payment, by bank transfer, must be completed prior to the car being taken away by the new owner.
