The Highlights

Rare 1994-only Laguna Blue – sought after factory colour

Matching OEM hardtop – included in sale

1.8 engine – responsive engine and torquier than early 1.6

81,200 miles – low for age

Power steering – not found on all NA MX-5s

12 months MOT – passed in May 2025

Aftermarket track-style rollbar – rigid construction

Aftermarket wheels – good condition

Aftermarket side skirts

Comes with all paperwork and receipts during my ownership

New alternator belt recently fitted

No signs of crash damage or poor accident repair

Solid running and driving example

Can throw in OEM BBS alloys and spare instrument cluster – BBS alloys have some scuffs and chips to restore, but all hub caps and hub cap removal tool included

This is a fantastic base for light restoration or a solid and rare summer classic with a bit of DIY polish.

Work Needed

The car drives well and is usable. Features that would benefit from improvement:

Surface corrosion on front & rear subframes (MOT tester confirmed they are not structurally weakened)

Minor rust spots in three places and easily repairable dent on rear far side panel

Rear brake pipes noted on MOT as having rust/grease/dirt on both sides

New alternator belt squeaks briefly on startup — just needs minor tension adjustment

Instrument cluster chrome rings are loose

A couple of snapped bolts in non-critical areas (e.g. in battery compartment)

Wheels are not OEM, but I have a set of original Mazda NA BBS alloys (scuffed, no tyres) which can be included by negotiation
