Description
A cherished and exceptionally well-presented MX-5 that I have owned and looked after for nearly ten years. Just one previous owner.
Finished in classic red and supplied with a removable hard top, this is a genuine enthusiast-owned example that has been maintained with longevity in mind rather than simply patched up for sale.
The car has covered just 74,969 miles and remains in excellent condition throughout. Most importantly, both sills have been professionally re-welded, meaning the well-known MX-5 rust issue has already been properly addressed. The bonnet was professionally resprayed a couple of years ago and still presents beautifully.
The braking system was comprehensively renewed around 8 months ago due to age-related corrosion, so the brakes are in excellent condition and perform exactly as they should.
Having owned the car for almost a decade, I have always maintained it carefully and dealt with issues properly as they arose. It has never been neglected, modified or treated as a project car.

Condition:
The car presents exceptionally well both inside and out and attracts compliments wherever it goes. The paintwork is bright and glossy, the interior remains in excellent condition and the car drives exactly as an MX-5 should.
The only cosmetic point worth noting is some corrosion to the alloy wheels, which can be seen in the photographs. Aside from this, the car is in outstanding condition for its age.
This is an increasingly hard-to-find MX-5 with sensible mileage, long-term ownership, a factory hard top and the major rust concerns already addressed.
