Located in Sutton Coldfield.
Purchased from MX5 specialist Supercar Classics in Cheshire.
Paint is Art Vin Rouge - a very attractive deep metallic burgundy/maroon. Interior is cream leather with wood trim and really nice cream dials with chrome bezels.
The paintwork is in exceptional condition, the front end barely has even a stone chip. The black cloth hood is in fine order and includes a glass heated rear screen. The interior is also excellent with brand new floor mats - the original Icon special car mats are also included although they need a little restoration. Mechanically it is in top condition with a new MOT - it drives and handles as you would expect and pulls away really well. It has a six speed gearbox.
Soon after purchasing the car was given a full professional underbody protection treatment by Chassis Clean in Cheshire. They had the car for four days - it was thoroughly steam cleaned and inspected, then a combination of Dinitrol anti-rust and underseal treatments were applied to all the underbody surfaces and cavities including the chassis box sections. A combination of this and the fact that the car is garaged full time when not in use and has only very rarely been caught out in any rain, means the underbody is in exceptional condition - some recent photos are shown below.
The wheels are not original, they are 16 inch Lenso BSXs with Falken 205/45/16 tyres. The originals wheels are available if required.
The suspension has been upgraded with Gaz Gold Pro adjustable coilovers at a cost fitted of nearly £1000. The original shocks and springs are available.
The exhaust back box has been replaced with a stainless steel one from MX5 Parts.
A Mazda chrome boot rack has been fitted and is included with the sale.
Originality: the original wheels, shocks and springs are all in good order and are available in the price if required, The side repeaters have been replaced with more modern white ones but the original orange ones are included. The front lower spoiler is from MX5 Parts and is attached with self tapping screws and easily removable, The gear lever and radio surrounds were originally in a wood trim - some years ago the car had an electrical problem with the radio that necessitated them being removed. One of the trim pieces broke - in the end a set of panels from a standard car was refitted instead. The wood original wood trimmed panels are included - the thin surround piece is broken but probably repairable. The centre console after market wood trim is removeable.
Also included with the sale price if required:
- a hardtop from a Mk 1 I owned previously, its in metallic blue so would need respraying but would suit the car well.
- a spare Lenso BSX wheel, brand new and still in the box, handy if one of the wheels gets badly kerbed.
- pair of hydraulic bonnet lifters, a chrome petrol filler cover. chrome door handle covers and an interior wood trim kit - all from MX5 Parts, new and still boxed.
This is a really nice car that has attended many MX5 club events and has taken us on some memorable holidays but it really could do with being driven more and have a new owner enjoy it.
