An EXCEPTIONAL 1997 MK1 Mazda MX-5 1.8i
*****THANK YOU - NOW SOLD******
A Superb low mileage, genuine UK supplied MX5, only 57,000 genuine miles from new, fantastic history file, very well looked after in 1st class condition!!, We are delighted to offer this STUNNING, low mileage and well looked after example of the appreciating MK1 MX5. This particular example is a late 1997 'R' registration finished in gleaming and virtually unmarked 'Neo British Racing GREEN'. We actually supplied this very car to it's last owner, who has continued to cherish this car for the last 7 years! Prior to this, we purchased the car from a local owner who had owned it for 12 years. Owing to it's low mileage, light summer use and being garaged from new, it remains it truly superb, unmolested condition throughout! There is NO RUST in any of the usual places such as the rear arched and sills, even the underside is extremely solid with no evidence of corrosion. The exceptionally clean MOT history confirms, what a solid and well cared for example this is, with absolutely NO mention of corrosion. Likewise the original charcoal interior is spotlessly clean, with no wear, not even on the drivers bolster. Again, the hood remains in perfect condition, having been recently replaced. . Along with all original Mazda booklets, we have a fantastic history file, containing many many service invoices and old mot certs. There have been 3 x documented timing belt changes. All four factory fitted alloys remain in excellent, virtually unmarked condition, and all fitted with BRAND NEW, matching tyres. Benefiting from the more powerful 1.8i engine, we think this is the sweet spot, it's a sheer delight to drive, a pure, back to basics, lightweight sports car, with that fantastic 'snickety' gearbox, like a rifle bolt in it's operation. No driver aids or power steering to interrupt that pure, unfiltered, analogue experience. Genuine, low mileage and cherished examples, with low owner's and provenance are becoming increasingly harder to find, and are appreciating classics. Has to be the best available at this age and price, a truly lovely, useable modern classic sports car.
