Description
I absolutely love this car, this is an extremely reluctant sale - however I need a bigger car. Only 93350 miles and it's a 2009 facelift example. I am the 5th owner. Can be viewed in Durham or possibly in London (by request).
Good points:
- I have a lot of information from the previous owner about the Cat S repair (carried out by him), including receipts totalling over 2k, as well as a pre-purchase inspection I had done which shows the superb quality of the repair.
- Drives very well, engine and gearbox are really smooth. Never had any issues with this aspect of the car.
- On lowered Eibach springs, nothing silly but improves handling tenfold and suprisingly even comfort is better. Also looks the part
- PRHT (power retractable hard top) version, far more secure than a soft top and no risk of leakage from rain etc.
- Mileage is low for the age of the car - no reason why it can't keep going for some time
- Generally rust-free. Inspection by an MX5 specialist in December 2022 showed no significant rust at the time.
- Mainly stored in a covered multi-storey carpark.
- Proper Yuasa 12v battery fitted.
- Will include a custom metal shift knob, much nicer than the original (will include the original too).
- Driver's door is from a newer, higher spec car with better noise insulation and faster window operation.
Bad points:
- Could do with new brake discs, there seems to be slight warping.
- Exhaust has a minor leak, I believe at the muffler.
- Some incomplete service history between 2012-2015.
- AC system needs refreshing.
- There is some odd 'corrosion' (doesn't look like typical rust to me, on the rear right roof section shown in the photos.
