Description

Mazda MX-5 Roadster - Project Car / Spares or Repairs - No MOT, Water-Damaged Interior, Ideal for Restoration or Parts. Runs and drives but needs TLC before it can get back on the road. Classic NB shell with loads of potential for a winter project, track toy or donor car. Genuine sale - priced fairly to go to an enthusiast who'll make good use of it. I've owned the car for 4 years and had plans to restore it, but unfortunately I don't have the time or space to take it further. It's therefore being sold as a project car or spares/repairs. This MX-5 Roadster was manufactured in 1998 and registered in 2001 in UK, it is a second generation (NB) 1.8L engine, manual 6-speed and has been an absolute pleasure to drive! Known Issues: Interior: A hole in the soft top has led to water ingress has caused damage to carpets/seats. Needs stripping, drying, or replacement of carpet interior. MOT: Failed its last MOT and has not been retested. Will need repairs before road use. Bodywork: Rust spots underneath the vehicle, 2 small dents on front left panel and scrape on right bumper. Paint faded at rear of vehicle. Engine: It starts and runs. Ticks over smoothly Positives / Potential: Classic MX-5 platform - lightweight, rear-wheel drive, huge parts availability. Still a solid base for an enthusiast looking to restore or turn into a track/kit car. Plenty of donor parts still working and valuable (engine, gearbox, panels, etc.). Cheap entry point for someone who wants to bring another MX-5 back to life. Collection: Car is located in central Bristol It cannot be driven away legally (no MOT, water-damage issues). Buyer will need to bring a trailer or low loader. Open to sensible offers - I'd rather see it go to someone who will use or restore it than scrap it. Terms: No warranty given or implied. Buyer to collect. Cash or bank transfer on collection.
