Description
Reluctant sale of my well-loved MX-5 Sport 'S' with 12 month MOT. This Mk2 version is a future classic - it's the upgraded sibling of the Mk1, minus pop-up headlights but with better refinement, handling and power. It comes with the factory Limited Slip Differential (LSD) and is a real driver's car.
Only 3 owners from new: the second lady owner owned it from 2001-2022 and kept it garaged, as have I. Always maintained, with good history (some gaps after service book filled).
It's an exciting weekend car with a snappy gearbox, precise steering, and that classic roadster feel. Mechanically strong with no faults, just a slight oil drip from the rear main seal - advised to fix when clutch is next changed.
Main Features
- 1.8L petrol, 5-speed manual

Recent Work & New Parts:
- New battery

- New brakes (discs & pads - under 5k miles)
- Timing belt changed
- Sills professionally welded to repair rust (common MX-5 issue)
- Included hard top, wrapped to match, in great condition
Bodywork Notes: Originally Twilight Blue, but paint showed age with lacquer peel & surface rust. A wrap was applied after prepping/sanding. Wrap still looks decent but has edge peel in spots and some damage to the wrap on the rear bumper (car park ding). Will included spare wrap for touch-ups
Drives beautifully - quick, agile, and fun. Recent MOT passed after new spark plugs (previous fail on emissions). Only used on weekends and always garaged.
A real head-turner that's cheap to run and is a proper drivers car. Perfect if you love the analogue driving experience. Not perfect cosmetically, but honest and well-loved. A fantastic MX-5 with loads already done with the paperwork to prove it.
