Another.. Thoughts on this MK1

[court]

Here's a Mk1 Eunos that I'm having trouble working out what special edition it is..

http://oaklandsautomotive.co.uk/used/MAZDA/MX-5/AE...

From the pics, red interior but oddly not red seats - they do have the speaker perforations though. There's a red roadster script, bilsten sticker, strange 7 spoke wheels with BBS centre caps, non OEM gearknob I believe too.

My best guess is an R-Limited with retrimmed seats. I think it's overpriced even with the hard-top, but to me the screen price is there just to start negotiating. I guess it all depends how much welding has already been done...

Thanks in advance!

Geneagles I'd say.

ETA...not so sure now.

I nearly bought that car a while ago. It was advertised on here. Cheaper too.

Swirl city down the sides..........

That is a butchered R-Ltd.

It's missing it's red leather seats (they may be poor covers) and has a wooden stick on tat console surround, and stty gearnob. Steering wheel may well be original mind.

Obviously missing its original BBS wheels as well.

Exactly my hunch, thanks for confirming it. It piqued my interest as it was local really.

Hi dump, thanks for the PM , I ran a snotter uk mk1 not so long ago and really enjoyed it so now with space in my garage and a few quid in my back pocket I'm looking for something to enjoy. I'd be after one of the sporting Eunos editions, but body condition seems to be more important than extras in the market right now.

Where are you based i can have a look if any local to me etc

Note it has the tweeters which means it was fitted with 10 speaker MSSS, nice option. If the bodywork condition is good it's not far from being rescued. Worth a look at that price I'd say.

Looks like a half decent Alpine HU there too.

Assuming they are the original seats recovered

Thanks for that, I appreciate it. I'm around Bristol and the West Country. I'm in no real rush to get something as it'd mean a weekend at the tip to clear the garage out first! But am always ready to travel to see the right car.

It will turn up, part of the fun is the searching and homework...........for a while
