Description
For sale is my much-loved 2005 Mazda MX-5 Arctic Edition 1.6 in metallic silver, showing just 38,500 miles and with 11 months MOT. The car has been fully rebuilt over the last year and is in outstanding condition - a rare find for a 20-year-old MX-5.
During my ownership, it's been garaged and treated to an extensive restoration to tackle all the well-known rust issues these cars suffer from. The underside is immaculate, the engine bay, boot wheel arches and sills are spotless, and it drives exactly as an MX-5 should.
Work completed:
4 brand new tyres and new brakes all round
Rear subframe mounts to body replaced with new rubber bushes
Painted rear valance (behind bumper)
Rear arches and both rear wings welded and painted
Sills cut out, welded, and restored
Front chassis rails, inner arches, inner wings, and front slam panel all painted - rust removed and treated
New cambelt and water pump
Brake and clutch master cylinders restored
New Varta battery
All common rust areas have been Lanoguarded for long-term protection
Refurbished alloy wheels
Full service carried out
Condition:
The soft-top roof is immaculate with no tears or damage. The paintwork is in great condition overall, with only minor cosmetic marks expected for its age - a small blemish on the left door from a previous dent, a few small imperfections on the bonnet, and light marks in places from weekend use.
Things to note:
There is no previous service history from before my ownership (it wasn't provided by the previous owner), but the extensive restoration work should give peace of mind to the next owner. The left door mark could be remedied with a replacement if desired.
This is a rare opportunity to own a genuinely solid, low-mileage MK2.5 MX-5 Arctic Edition in fantastic condition, ready to be enjoyed.
