1996 Mazda

DEPOSIT TAKEN - This is something very special indeed. Considered to be one of the most desirable of the MK1 Limited Edition models, this is an absolutely stunning example of the rare and fast appreciating MX5 VR Limited Eunos Roadster in the much sought after Combination B specification. The colour is called Excellent Green Mica.

This car is completely original, unmodified and a beautiful rust free example.

It was manufactured in 1996 and imported from Japan in 2001. Since it was imported it has had 3 owners, all of which have been ladies. One cherishing it from 2001 to 2011 and the other careful owner from 2011 to 2014.

It has been the pride and joy of each of its owners and only used in dry weather and during the spring/summer months.

It has been extremely well looked after, benefitting from a garaged life since 2001 so is in lovely rust free condition. It was also undersealed last year for further protection.

It has only covered just over 51k miles! (82,900km)which is quite remarkable and rare.

Its original VR Limited 15" 5 spoke Enkei alloy wheels have been fully refurbished and are in unmarked condition with excellent matching Avon tyres.

In 2013 - the front shockers were replaced with KYB Excel-Gs as well as the front and rear springs. Also brand new rear calipers and brakes were fitted. Totalling nearly £700. This is really noticeable when you drive the car, no clunks or noises whatsoever from the suspension. It really does drive like a new car.

The gears are just beautifully smooth, the best I have driven with a lovely light clutch.

If you know already about the VR limited model you'll know if has a fantastic specification with the uprated later Type II spec 1.8 engine which means it has a factory fitted lightened flywheel and revised 16 bit ECU which improves power performance and allows the engine to rev more freely. It also has torsen slip differential which makes a dramatic difference in terms of acceleration and puts it head and shoulders above the average MK1 MX5. The chassis is improved too with extra chassis bracing including an engine bay strut brace and thicker anti-roll bars. This is one of only 800 Combination B models that were produced in Japan and very few made their way over to the UK, making it highly sought after.

It's unique leather seats feature a 'Roadster' logo embroidered into each of the headrests. It has a highly polished alloy handbrake handle, an alloy gear surround, Momo leather-rimmed steering wheel, electric windows, power steering and air conditioning.

The dark green roof was replaced in 2010 to original Mazda specification and is still in lovely condition.

There is a very comprehensive service history, since importation, showing regular oil changes and the cambelt has also been replaced. There is also a wealth of paperwork and receipts detailing maintenance carried out over the last 13 years.

The bodywork is really lovely, the paintwork is beautifully shiny and it really shows how well cared for this car has been.

Professionally fitted with a Toad alarm and immobiliser system it comes with 2 fobs, 2 keys and has a Panasonic radio/cd player. All the electrics work perfectly including the air conditioning and the electric aerial.

The interior is in superb condition. The black leather seats are in fantastic condition. To look around the interior is a pleasure and shows all the signs of a extremely low mileage car, even the original MOMO leather steering wheel is perfect and original Roadster floor mats are present, protecting the carpets.

It also benefits from a long MOT until 26th June 2015 with no advisories.

Not only is this an exceptional example of this classic sports car but is also a very sound financial investment for the future with prices for rare limited edition MK1 models increasing.
