Description
Selling my MX5 MK1 in excellent overall condition and comes with some rare additional accessories. It is the more desirable Eunos spec model with genuine low mileage of only 36k (or 52k in Km) and manual gearbox. See further details below, this car has been very well looked after during its ownership and is rust free. Long MOT till August 2027 with no advisories. Dateless private registration number is included with the sale.
In classic red colour, the bodywork is in very good condition. A few minor blemishes to be expected for a car of its age, however it presents nicely as seen in the pictures. All sills, arches and underside are all exceptionally clean, with factory spot welds still visible on the rear arches – rare to find on these cars and highlights how well this example has been looked after.
• Engine fully serviced (Oil change, coolant, spark plugs, oil/ fuel filters)
• New AC and alternator drive belts
• Cambelt, water pump, and engine seals replaced at 34k
• New Yuasa battery
• New brake discs and pads fitted all round
• New front calipers replaced
Mohair soft top roof with heated glass rear-screen window. Rare Japanese original front fog lights fitted (these usually sell for around £300 separately). Extremely rare original factory tape/ CD stereo in working order. These are highly sought after and command around £300-£500 on eBay when they come up for sale. I was going to replace the original stereo for an Android/ Apple Play touchscreen I have bought, but I am happy to include this with the car so any new buyer has the option to keep original or swap.
Mechanically the car is in fantastic condition and drives perfectly. Original lightweight 14-inch daisy alloys with good tyres all round. The interior is nice and clean. All dials and controls work correctly including both electric windows. This model has power-steering, air-conditioning and a V-slip limited differential as standard. The bodywork is completely rust-free with solid sills and wheel arches. Clean underside with no corrosion concerns. Factory spot welds visible on rear arches.
In summary, this is rare opportunity to own a highly original, low-mileage MK1 in excellent condition. Whether you're looking for a reliable weekend classic, an enjoyable daily driver, or a collector-quality example to add to your garage, this car ticks all the boxes.
Early examples of these MX5s are now becoming harder to find in genuinely rust-free, unmodified condition, especially with genuine low mileage and good documentation. Selling due to recent house move and not having enough time to enjoy the car.
Please do not make the mistake of comparing this car with other average examples out there for sale. Given its originality viewing is highly recommended to appreciate its original condition. V5-logbook is in-hand. All genuine enquiries welcome. Thanks
