Description
2011 MAZDA MX-5 1.8 KENDO SPECIAL EDITION - MANUAL - 2 FORMER KEEPERS - GREY
A very attractive Mazda MX-5 Kendo Special Edition, finished in Dolphin Grey with contrasting light leather interior.
First registered on 25 June 2011, this is the desirable 1.8-litre naturally aspirated petrol model with a manual gearbox. The V5 records just 2 former keepers, making this a particularly appealing example for anyone looking for a well-presented, usable MX-5 with good provenance.
The Kendo was one of Mazda's special-edition versions of the hugely successful MX-5, and this car presents extremely well in the photographs. The Grey metallic paintwork suits the car beautifully, while the light leather interior gives it a much more distinctive appearance than a standard MX-5.
The cabin remains refreshingly simple and driver focused, with the short-throw manual gearbox, leather steering wheel, heated seats and traditional analogue instruments. With the roof down, it's exactly what an MX-5 should be - a straightforward, lightweight, rear-wheel-drive sports car that's enjoyable without needing huge speeds.

The photographs show a clean and well-kept car both inside and out. The alloy wheels present nicely, the bodywork has a good shine and the leather interior has worn well for its age. As with any 2011 used vehicle, buyers should expect age-related marks on close inspection rather than a brand-new car.
The MX-5 has earned its reputation as one of the best affordable sports cars ever made. They're simple, engaging and inexpensive to enjoy compared with many modern performance cars, and good original examples are becoming increasingly desirable.
