Description

Launch Edition means the forged BBS wheels and awesome Recaro seats. A cherished, enthusiast-owned car with all the common weak points addressed and improvements made; modifications can be removed if required. Being a third car for the weekends, it deserves more than the measly 2,000 miles a year I give it. It receives the same meticulous maintenance as my NC race car by either myself or the MX5 specialist garage I'm partnered with. Annually serviced under my ownership (since 2021) and no reason to believe the first lady owner didn't too (she had it on a 3yr PCP). - Both rear hubs spherical bearings replaced with Whiteline bearings - Underside cleaned and protected with Bilt Hamber Dynax-UC, a clear anti-corrosion wax (not a horrific mess that is waxoyl or similar!) - Rear arches kept clean and Dynax'd - No rust on the bodywork. Small (normal) amount of surface rust underside - Original paint throughout, in very good condition for age. The worst defect is the front bumper which has a parking scrape very low down and difficult to see; it's not worth risking the long-term colour match/paint integrity with a smart repair - Refurbed and ceramic-coated alloy wheels - Kumho PS71 tyres (late 2022 date code), as used in the MX5 Supercup, lots of tread - Ferodo DS2500 pads all round, with brand new OEM spares included - Gearbox, diff, brake fluids replaced with Castrol and Fuchs products - Annual engine oil changes only ever with Castrol or Fuchs in my ownership. Consumes no oil at all. - Fast road alignment, printout included. The caster is backed off a touch since then for new tyre clearance. - Wired Android Auto (Mazda UK supplied, not AliExpress) - MX5Things Roof Controller - one touch roof operation while moving - Stubby aerial - Dashcam - GAZ Gold coilovers (this was the first kit produced, using this very vehicle for development) - 15mm wheel spacers using the best method; longer wheel studs so that the spacers are just that, spacers only and not used for anything other than compressive strength Any/all modifications can be removed upon deposit paid - the value of the parts will cover my time to remove. Car lift available for a full inspection if you desire. The first owner of the car was a schoolteacher from Manchester - I found her via the bluetooth pairing which hadn't been cleared (cough, GDPR, cough), in order to enquire about keys. She had traded it in with two, but it came to me with just one - from dealer Evans Halshaw in Plymouth.
