1997 MAZDA

1997 Mazda MX5 Eunos SR Limited, one of the very last classic mark 1 era. Being a Eunos and a limited edition model, the car benefits from useful extra original features like air conditioning, electric windows, LSD, extra chassis bracing and two tone leather seats.

Sudden loss of rented garage forces a most regrettable sale, although the successful buyer will have a brilliant little sports car in time for spring and summer.

I've owned the car for nearly 10 years and it's been well looked after and garaged during that time. Regularly serviced during my ownership and some other service history from prior to that.

The car is in very good condition for its age and is factory standard as far as I know - it has not been messed about with and, for instance, runs on standard springs (albeit with standard Bilstein shocks, the ride is firm). It has been completely reliable - as you'd expect from Japanese cars of this period.

The odometer shows 184,000, but this is in kilometers so the equivalent in miles is much less.

Provided that the asking price is paid in full, the car will come with a rare matching Sparkle Green hardtop which is in excellent condition and has electrical connections for the rear demister. The soft top has a glass window with rear demister and is also in excellent condition - this was replaced during my ownership by Jack's Trimmers in Swansea, a leading soft top installer.

I can provide a link to some impressive road test footage on YouTube made by the previous owner which really tells you all about what a great car this is.
