Very good condition overall. I bought the car last year and have used it quite a lot. I would absolutely love to keep it as it's a joy to drive and own and I would genuinely jump in it right now and drive it anywhere, but I'm short of space and one of my other cars needs has needed some expensive repairs recently, so I reluctantly need to sell.

Body:

Very good condition overall, no rust on body. Paintwork good overall as can be seen, though there are obviously marks around the car commensurate with its age - main ones being a small scrape on the left side of the front bumper, a couple of scratches on rear bumper and normal stone chips etc. Hood is in excellent condition and recently cleaned and weather proofed. Very neat one-catch design, which can be put down and up from the driver's seat.

Interior:

Really nice place to be. Compared to the NA and NB, you actually sit esconced in the car and are protected well from the elements. Between that, the standard flip up wind deflector, ferocious heater and heated seats, unless it's heavier than medium rain, I never feel the need to have the roof up.

- Good condition black, heated leather, protected and fed with autoglym leather care. Fresh and modern looking inside. A small mark where someone's had a phone mount on the dash previously and little patch of leather cracking (I think perhaps sun damage) on top of the wheel.

- Recently replaced head unit (with Mazda OE) after the old one just stopped one day

- Aux-in added at the same time.

Chassis:

Lovely car to drive. On the standard sports Bilstein suspension, I have to say the car rides superbly over all manner of shitty B and unclassified roads. Well controlled, smooth (much better than most modern cars). If you want the ultimate track weapon, you may want some stiffer suspension, but as an enjoyable car for the road, it's spot on.

- New rear springs. The wheel alignment has also been done following spring change

- New (mintex) discs and pads all round less than 1500miles ago. Nice brake feels and good performance.

- 17" sport wheels are in good condition

- Tyres are Yokohama all round (they're also all round) with even wear and ~4-5mm tread. Also have a space saver spare for it too.

I also have a set of 16" wheels with decent tread (could be used for winters) up for separate negotiation.

Powertrain:

Smooth engine that pulls from 1000rpm and offers strong and spritely performance. No consumption of oil, coolant and no smoke or unusual noises. Serviced less than 1500 miles ago towards the end of last year with fully synthetic oil, new air filter, thermostat.

Gearbox has a lovely shift hot or cold and the clutch engages smoothly and doesn't slip.

LSD works very well both for added traction and if you want to slither out of a junction as you prefer.

Service history:

In the past 1500 miles as mentioned above, it's had

Engine oil service

Air filter

Rear springs

New discs and pads all round

New front caliper and others' sliders and pistons cleaned.

Drains cleared

It came with limited history before that - there's a book in the pack saying to ask for the digital history, which I will see if I can get hold of.

Viewing welcome (I'm just North of Milton Keynes, about 10mins from M1 J15) and test drive welcome with proof of insurance (or I'm more than happy to demonstrate it to you).

If you'd like better quality pictures, happy to what's app them over - Pistonheads reduces the quality a lot.

No scammers, African princes, off shore workers (glad I didn't pursue a career as an oil rig engineer as it must be impossible to arrange to view any cars), just ordinary people please!
