Description

Reluctant sale of my long-term MX5, AKA: the 'Mazbo' due to a genuine change in circumstances. 1999 1.8 Mk2 - 97k miles Owned for the past 8 years by a mature owner and maintained regardless of cost, with regular oil changes every 3-6 months. Performance & Setup McLaren turbo setup (circa 220hp@ 0.5bar, mapped by Devil Developments Custom Cosworth intercooler and pipework RX8 yellow injectors ME221 ECU K&N air filter Full custom stainless exhaust system Skuzzle OEM feel clutch AFRs reading safe under boost Tubular manifold Strong engine, pulls well on boost and drives smoothly. Small cold start adjustment needed (very rich on start up) but this has not been fixed because after 1/2 mins the car runs perfectly when up to temperature. Chassis & Handling HSD Mono Pro adjustable coilovers Michelin Pilot Sport tyres Recent Maintenance Full service including cambelt New radiator New coolant temperature sensor New idle control valve Brake fluid Low temp spark plugs fitted New headlight units Interior Leather interior Nardi steering wheel Short shifter Structural Work Chassis rails professionally repaired in 2020 (1200 pounds) Outer and Inner Sills / rear arches professionally repaired Dec 2025 (1400+ pounds) Treated, drilled and wax injected The car is structurally solid, which is becoming increasingly rare on these. The bodywork guy described it as 'one of the better ones' Photos of work available on request Bodywork Paintwork has lacquer peel and fading in places, which is the main thing that lets it down. But the hardtop is in VGC, all panels are straight and the car has already had the money spent making it structurally solid underneath. Extras Matching hardtop included in full asking price OEM rear spoiler & bootlid by negotiation Waterproof cover included Soft top roof has a small tear, but not currently an issue as the car is used with the hardtop Summary A well-maintained turbo MX5 with all major structural work completed to a high standard. Ready for summer!! Test drives carried out by myself unless funds are cleared.
