Description
1997 Mazda MX-5 Mk1/NA 1.8i Sport - enthusiast-owned classic roadster
A fantastic example of the iconic first-generation Mazda MX-5, fitted with the sought-after 1.8-litre naturally aspirated inline-four engine and short-shift 5-speed manual gearbox. Producing 133 bhp and weighing around 990 kg, it delivers the lightweight, rear-wheel-drive driving experience that made the MX-5 a modern classic.
This car benefits from a strong list of tasteful upgrades, including Japanese premium Enki forged aluminum wheels, four new tyres, a straight-through stainless steel exhaust, fresh respray, hardtop (as shown in pictures, soft top stowed, but fully functional), replacement leather tombstone seats from an Mazda MX-5 Mk2, chrome roll bar and a Bluetooth DAB audio system.
With just 101k miles, service history and 12 months MOT, this MX-5 is ready to enjoy. It is ideal for an enthusiast, weekend driver or anyone looking for a brilliant, easy-to-maintain sports car that is genuinely great fun to drive. I have owned this car since 2007 which should tell you what a great car this really is.
