Description

Really reluctant sale No silly offers, as I'd rather keep it as it's such a good one! I'm only listing it as I've been offered an early Opel Monza 3.0Eso storage is an issue!
Eunos Roadster/Mazda MX5 mk1 NA, registered as a Mazda Eunos 1600, imported in 2003. Long MOT with the advisories of corroded springs and tyre now sorted..as you will read!
I bought this as I've had a few before, and this looked so nice and straight..
Since buying in October it's had the following work:
- Full service inc. cambelt
- Replacement Mk2 gearbox as original had some lash due to poor powerframe alignent
- New clutch
- Replacement rear differential due to noise, now has Mk2 Torsen limited slip diff
- New quality coilover suspension with adjustable damping
- New tyres all round
- fitted original 'Hollow Spoke' lightweight wheels
- New Catalytic convertor
- New Bosal exhaust
- New door glass weather strips
- New alarm/immobiliser
- New remote central locking kit to doors, operated by alarm
- New Blaupunkt door speakers
- New Blaupunkt CD/DVD radio
- moved rear fog lamp to offside rear lamp unit
- advanced ignition timing
- fitted rolled tip exhaust end
So..to the condition of the body and the hood..the sills are fantastic! It's had a repair to drivers sill, but been done well, and it's a tidy job. Passenger sill is either original or been really, really well done..before the car was repainted. Yes it's had a respray, and again, was done very well, the spot welds visible in the rear arch lips, and the arches are fantastic too. There are a few little marks and car park style dents, but it isn't a brand new car! The underbody is clean and tidy, chassis legs are fantastic, no nasty plates or welding, just as you would like them to be!
The hood has obviously been replaced, it's got a nearly new looking canvas style roof, with a glass back window.
The interior is in great condition..the seats have no rips, or bits missing from the bolsters. The original Nardi Torino leather steering wheel is in great condition, no splits or tears. The gearknob is a weighted aluminium one, and the gearshift is excellent. The headrest speakers have been disabled, as I just don't like them, and the new Blaupunkt radio and speakers give a great sound as it is.
The brakes are nearly new all round, all the pads have been greased, and handbrake adjusted properly..and of course, work as they should!
The engine is sweet, no nasty rattles, bangs or smoke, pulls cleanly, smoothly, and behaves perfectly.
The gearbox and rear differential were replaced due to some noises, and although I'm not mega OCD with my cars, I wanted it to be 'right'..the diff is the later style Torsen LSD, with drive shafts and propshaft to suit.
The suspension has all new coilovers, USA Maxspeed units, adjustable for height and damping, currently set a little lower than standard, but not with a hard, nasty ride. The suspension bushes are all good, nothing untoward.
Tyres are all new 185/60x14, fitted to straight, original Eunos 'Hollow spokes' that have no buckles or cracks.
The car drives and behaves really well for an older car, and obviously a lot of time, effort and money has been spent recently to make it a really good one! If it wasn't for the fact I've got the chance to buy a rare, early Opel Monza, then I wouldn't be selling this Mazda If it doesn't sell, I'll just rent another lock-up garage and keep it! The more the MX5's and Eunos's get modified for drifting etc, the rarer the good standard cars will get, and values are already going up!
Cash on collection only, no exceptions, sorry! No part-ex's or swaps. Straight sale. I MAY entertain an offer, BUT only if you are stood in front of me with cash!
