Description
Overview:
1989 Mazda Eunos Roadster which I have owned since July 2018. The vehicle was passed onto from my dad who aquired the vehicle from a customer who was giving up driving due to her age. When we recieved the car it had head gasket issuses which eventually turned out to be warped block so the car has had a replacement engine. Still a factory spec 1. 6 with no modifcations. During the winter of 2018/ 2019 the car was restorted having dents removeds, new panels, new mohair roof and a fresh repaint in the factory colour. I had since used the car frequently at weekends and sometimes commuting. In the last couples of years the car has not since been used as much and I now have other vehicles hence the sale. Been dry stored and frequently serviced with all mechanical work carried out by myself.
