A genuinely unique opportunity to own a beautifully restored Mazda 1.8 convertible. Over the past three years, my brother-in-law and I have carefully rebuilt and upgraded this car with one goal in mind: make it drive as well as it looks. With our next adventure (Caterhams) now lined up, it's time for this one to go to a new home. The result speaks for itself. The car runs flawlessly and delivers a fantastic driving experience. The refurbished engine, K&N intake paired with the Scorpion exhaust gives it a deep, purposeful sound. It will pop when pushed, but remains subtle and refined during normal driving. Handling is a real highlight. Thanks to upgraded suspension, sway bars, and bracing, the car feels planted, responsive, and confidence-inspiring through corners. Condition-wise, it's exactly what you'd hope for from a well-loved restoration: - Alloys recently refurbished and in excellent condition - Tyres in great shape - Interior upgraded throughout, including steering wheel, lighting, and trim details Pioneer Apple CarPlay head unit with touchscreen We've invested far more into this car than the asking price reflects. This isn't about recouping costs. We'd rather see it go to someone who will enjoy it properly. We are ideally looking for a quick sale as we need the garage space for our next build. All paperwork for everything that has been put onto this car provided. If it remains unsold, the car will be showcased at Boho On Tour at Aston Down Airfield on 12th April.
