The Appeal
For the many MX5 enthusiasts, the joy of ownership can be like a hugely entertaining wormhole. There are then many factory special editions to master, and a host of upgrades and improvements to ensure your car stands out.
This smart 1994 Eunos Roadster blends those two streams. It is one of 800 J2-Limited cars built for the Japanese market in Sunburst Yellow. Alongside the stand-out colour scheme, these cars feature a black painted screen surround and a 4:1 Zexel Torsen differential.
This car arrived in the UK in 2003 and with the current keeper in 2015. He has developed it into the car you see with a long list of upgrades to deliver the purposeful and eye-catching car that you see in the photos. We are told that it has been regularly maintained with an annual oil change regardless of mileage.
MX5 enthusiasts will immediately spot the opportunity here. As an added incentive, it comes to market with a lengthy, advisory-free MOT to June 2027.
The vendor says:
“Always serviced runs mint starts first time every time brilliant drive. Gets noticed wherever we take it, really is a lovely car. Loads of paperwork, new battery, oil change every year regardless on mileage.”
