Description
Here for sale I have my 1997 Mazda mx5 mk1 / NA 1. 6 Manual with Airbag low mileage , 61k miles, these later UK spec models where the last of a great line of the mx5 with the iconic pop up headlights , they were modernised and equipped with a drivers airbag for additional safety which in turn made them more insurance friendly, the 1. 6 engine combined with the small, light weight design makes this car really fun to drive.
This is a great example of the range , super clean bodywork, spot welds still present, underside very clean, excellent mechanicals, clean un damaged interior, topped off with upgraded 15" Wolfrace alloys in new tyres .
The car has an extensive folder of receipts stretching all the way back to 2016 (10 years of records), including a huge overhaul 3 years ago which saw the whole engine and gearbox serviced.
Cambelt, water pump, tensioners, idlers, cam seals, crank seals front and rear, clutch, gearbox seals, oil filter , fuel filter, plugs, oil, coolant, injector seals, throttle body seal and disc and pads all round, since this the car has only covered around 60 miles.
Since, the car has had much more work done including new calipers, clutch slave and master and belts done over again. This really is the well looked after car it should be.
With all this said and done, this drives brilliant, no funny noises, dead quiet engine, pulls well and engages gears smoothly.
The amount of time and effort gone into this car is rewarded by its CLEAN MOT valid a full 12 months from 14/ 05/ 2026 .
This is a great opportunity to get yourself a roof down, fun affordable convertible for the coming summer with plenty of value in its low mileage of 61, 000 miles.
Sad to see this one go but I have been presented with an opportunity to own something iv always wanted .
